On the evening of March 16, 2019, Pastor Daniel Rohlwing of Eagle, Colorado, went to be with his Savior, Jesus.
Dan was born to Elmer and Evelyn Rohlwing in 1950 in Elgin, Illinois. He worked as a CPA for five years before obtaining his Master of Divinity in 1983 from Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Dan was the founding pastor of Gracious Savior in Edwards, Colorado, and Grace Fellowship in Gypsum, Colorado, while ministering for 36 years in the Vail Valley. His dream of starting a Christian high school was realized in 1998 as one of the founders of Vail Christian High School. He married his high school sweetheart, Kathy, on March 7, 1970. Together they raised four children. Dan loved to travel, root for the Broncos, and spend time with his 11 grandchildren. He was a lifelong learner, had a heart for missions, and treasured the Word of God. He leaves a legacy of faith, determination, and love.
Dan is preceded in death by his parents and his son William. He is survived by his wife Kathy; children Steve (Heather), Jeff (Jennifer), Mandy (Jeremy), and Elisa (Alex); and grandchildren Sydney (Tyler), Spencer, Luke, Lauren, Thea, Solenne, Linnea, Rachel, Zach, Matthew and Sal. Dan is also survived by his siblings Cathy (Ken), Gary (Toni) and Cindy (Tracy), and countless lives to whom he ministered.
