Daniel Albert, "D.A." Crist II died on October 12, 2020, at the Gove County Long Term Care Facility, Quinter, KS, following a diagnosis of COVID-19, at the age of 90. He was born on July 20, 1930.

He was the youngest of three children born to Rev. D. (Daniel) Floyd and Nellie Mae (Jamison) Crist in rural Quinter, KS. Siblings were Rev. B. (Burton) Wayne and Eulalia Mae (Crist) Sanger. All preceded him in death.

D.A. attended grade school and high school in Quinter and graduated from McPherson College in 1952. He married Carole Huffman following graduation and together they served two years in Brethren Volunteer Service in Goshen, IN taking care of 20 homeless boys. This was an experience D.A. often talked about. He also enjoyed flying, first a Stearman biplane, then several other single wing planes before receiving his pilot's license. In 1954 they moved back to Quinter where he joined his father in farming and raising cattle, until his retirement when he devoted more time to his and Dan's hobby of restoring antique tractors.

He was a lifelong member of the Quinter Church of the Brethren, where he served as deacon and taught Sunday School.

He is survived by his children: Daniel Albert III "Dan" (Janice) of Quinter, KS; Kevin (Mary) of McPherson, KS; grandchildren Rachel (David Griffen) of Lawrence, KS; Mark (Karen) of Parker, CO; Alyese of Auburn, NY; and great-grandson Calvin of Parker, CO.
