George "Daniel" Freeman

George “Daniel” Freeman, age 66, of McCook, NE passed away on Sunday, April 3, 2022 in Kearney, NE.

Daniel was born June 17, 1955 in Phoenix, AZ to parents Jack T. and Mildred (White) Freeman. He was the seventh of eight children.  Following high school, Dan attended Lubbock Christian University where he received his bachelor’s degree in biblical studies. He then obtained his master's degree in ministerial ministries, traveling to both Israel and Jordan while in college.

Dan met his wife, Patti Randolph, in Lubbock, TX in 1993.  Together, they had one daughter, Shelby.  Dan also had five other children.  His oldest daughter, Steffi Kilcher, from Italy, recently reconnected with him.  Steffi and Shelby are not only sisters, but great friends.

Over the span of many years, Dan preached in seven states, to include Syracuse, NY, and Haiti. He loved the Lord, the gospel and his church family.  Dan was also involved in radio gospel preaching across the nation.  He had his own gospel radio show in Fallon, NV and worked for The Gospel Network before beginning his work in prison ministry. Dan spent three and a half years working as an addiction counselor and preaching in prisons.

2018 brought Dan and Patti to McCook following a three year Sabbatical in which they spent their time assisting Patti’s parents, Deloy and LouAnn Randolph.  Dan was semi-retired at this time and preached part time at the McCook Church of Christ.

Dan spent the days leading up to his death with his wife, Patti, working with the elderly at Home Instead.  He was a great man who loved to do God’s work.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers; and a sister.

Those who celebrate his life are his wife, Patti Freeman of McCook; his six children; sisters, Kathlyn, Gail and Julie; two grandsons in Italy; and one granddaughter in New York.
