Daniel Ryan "Spoon" Wagner, age 36, of Belleville, born December 12, 1976 to Donald "Red" and Linda, nee Missey, Wagner, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, November 5, 2013.

"Spoon" was employed as a title researcher for RedVision Title Co., and worked at the county courthouse. He also was a cook at Outback Steakhouse. He grew up in Shiloh and graduated from OTHS in 1995.

He was the youngest of 8 children, spoiled by his older siblings. He was a big kid who still loved his Legos, super-heroes comic books, fantasy football, zombie runs, and the hit-tv shows "Duck Dynasty" and "Big Bang Theory." He was a loyal New England Patriots fan; he enjoyed grilling, mud runs, and being with his friends and listening to music. Spoon was an honest and dependable friend, a loving son and brother, a crazy fun uncle, and a good friend. His sudden loss will be felt by his family, friends, and co-workers.

Dan was preceded in death by his father, Donald J. "Red" Wagner; and his brother Dean Wagner.
