Daniel Joseph Marzen, the son of Kenneth and Rose (Naumann) Marzen, was born on October 15, 1957 in Charles City, Iowa. On October 10, 1981, Dan was united in marriage to Jeri Boggess in Charles City, Iowa. Dan owned a service station and car dealership with his brother, Dean, in Charles City for 10 years before moving to New Sharon in 1989. Dan drove truck for himself before driving for Van Wyk Trucking in Grinnell for 13 years. He then drove for Old Dominion Trucking starting in 2013. Dan and Jeri then relocated to Bondurant to be closer for Dan's work. He was an avid Dallas Cowboy football fan and very rarely missed watching a game.
