Obituary

Daniel Thomas (Dan) Varga, of White Township, passed away on April 30, 2026, at Heritage Valley Beaver. Born on March 15, 1947, he was the son of the late Joseph and Martha Varga.

Dan graduated from New Brighton High School and attended Parsons College. He joined the navy and served on the John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier. Returning back to Patterson Heights Beaver Falls, Danny worked at Babcock & Wilcox and later at VEKA in Fombell.

Danny enjoyed fishing, canoeing and walking through the woods with his wife and dog. Upon retiring, Dan and Pam treated themselves to a cruise to Alaska. They enjoyed it so much that they returned twice. Danny loved to barbecue on his Big Green Egg unit. Rain or snow, you could find him on the back porch grilling burgers, corn on the cob and lots of other meats and veggies. He was especially proud of the prime rib he grilled for holidays. It was always perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. He loved listening to jazz and blues, and there was always music playing in the house. His white Nisson Z convertible sports car was his pride and joy, although he never drove it farther than the driveway. The car was in perfect condition because, “it was never touched by rain or snow”. Danny had a sparkle in his eyes and a grin on his face. He had a wicked sense of humor and loved to make people laugh.

He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Pamela Varga; his siblings, Lawerence (Susan) Varga, Charles (Jill) Varga, Betsy (Bruce) Svensson; a nephew, Doug Varga; several nieces and nephews and numerous friends.
