Obituary

Daniel R. Rolfes (Dan) of Loveland, Ohio, passed away peacefully on February 11, 2026, with his family by his side.

Devoted husband of Gail Rolfes. Cherished father of Tammy Gibbs (Ron), Carolyn Rolfes (Greg Jodrey), Angela Rolfes Daniher (Michael Vieth), and the late Daniel Rolfes. Stepfather of Brad Scheffer (Debra), Matt Scheffer, and Katie Uhrina (Tony). Proud grandfather of Brian J. Gibbs (Marianne), Samantha Gibbs, Thomas Daniel Gibbs (Alissa), Tyler M. Gibbs (Morgan), John Rolfes Daniher, Sophie L. Daniher, Lillian Jodrey, Charles Jodrey and step-grandfather of Ashley, Lucas, Alex, Lauren, Ramei, RJ, Giuliana, Maddox, Paxton and Croix. Great grandfather of Ayden, Shaylin, Blair, Luigi, and Brent Gibbs. Beloved brother of Ann Brooks, Margaret Brungs (the late William), Mary Ellen Seery (Robert), and Kathleen Stout (Richard). Also survived by many cherished nieces and nephews.

Dan was born on July 24, 1943, in Cincinnati, Ohio to the late Paul Richard Rolfes and Erma Voiers Rolfes. He was a proud graduate of St. Xavier High School and Thomas Moore College and carried the values of faith, discipline, and service with him throughout his life. After graduation he began his professional career with Ernst and Ernst CPA firm before he found his true calling in the manufactured housing industry and entrepreneurship. Over his 60+ year career, he helped create numerous companies, co-founded Centerbank, chaired many different boards, and partnered with like-minded people from all walks of life. When he founded Holiday Homes in 1963, he mastered every job in the company, including driving the mobile home delivery truck! He grew the company as CEO to over 100 employees and valued every employee and their role in their mutual success. He was proud of every single job he did and was always quick to share a story of his own life lessons with a smile on his face. He helped innumerable people to realize the best versions of themselves. Of all the titles he held, however, his favorite was Grandpa- affectionately known as “Gaga” and “Pop Pop.” It was in this role that his joy, generosity, and boundless love shone most brightly.

Family and friends will be received on Thursday, February 19 from 10:30 - 11:45 AM at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 8815 E. Kemper Rd., Cincinnati, where Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 12 PM. Private inurnment Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
