Obituary

Daniel P. Callahan, 67, of Beaver Falls, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, June 22, 2026, at his home.

Born on January 17, 1959, in Pittsburgh, he was the son of the late Robert and Stella Mae (Hamilton) Callahan.

Dan devoted his life to protecting others and responded to his life’s calling with a true sense of valor, duty, and integrity.  He served in the US Army for 4 years as a Firefighter and continued for a total of 50 years as a Firefighter and was a current member of the Darlington Twp. Fire Dept., 48 years as Paramedic, and 15 years as a Police Officer retiring from White Township Police Dept.  Dan loved nothing more than sharing his knowledge of his profession with others as a fire instructor, emergency medical services instructor, and a firearm instructor for local police departments.  He held a private pilot’s license and cherished every moment he was able to be in the air.  He was Catholic by faith and a member of the Masonic Lodge.

He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Kim (Williams) Callahan; his sons, Michael (Veronica) Callahan, Christopher Callahan, and Brian Callahan; his granddaughters, Daniella and Chloe; brothers by heart, Keith Drabick, John Zurik, and Bryan Landman; along with his first responder family and community.
