Daniel Lee “Boone” Bisbee, 73, of Cresbard, passed away Tuesday, September 10, 2024, at his home.

A celebration of life will be held over opening pheasant season, October 19, 2024.

Daniel Lee Bisbee was born August 21, 1951, to Dale and Marjorie (Everson) Bisbee in Faulkton, SD. He graduated from Cresbard High School in 1971 and went to Toledo, OH to attend butchering school.

On November 23, 1971, Boone married his high school sweetheart, Carolyn Wilhelm. Together they had three children.

Boone was a ranch hand in Kansas for many years before returning to Cresbard. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved being with his family to show off their “trophy” catches. He always had many stories of going to Akaska, SD.

In later years, Boone struggled with many health problems that kept him from doing many of the things he loved.

Boone is survived by his three children: Ramona (Michael) Conness of Chancellor, SD, Daniel (Joyce) Bisbee of Parker, SD, and Christina (Trevor) Ketchum of Freeman, SD; nine grandchildren, five great grandchildren with one on the way; seven siblings: David (Cindy) Bisbee, Russell (Dianne) Bisbee, Bruce (Bernie) Bisbee, Colleen (John) Klein, Dixie Bisbee, Diana Bisbee, and Barry (Barb) Bisbee; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and grandparents: Claude and Helen Bisbee and “Evie” and Lilly Everson.

His family is thankful for having shared his life with him and he will be dearly missed. A special thank you to Gene Toennies and Pat Stevens for always being such good friends.

Luce Funeral Home of Faulkton has been entrusted with Boone’s arrangements.
