Rev. Daniel D. Vojta

Rev. Daniel D. Vojta, age 62, passed away on January 28, 2024, at his home in Hustisford, WI.  Daniel was born on March 5, 1961, to David and Patricia (Voldahl) Vojta in Golden Valley, MN.  Daniel spent his childhood in Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.  After graduating from Marshall University High School, he obtained a degree in social work from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, in 1983.  On August 16 1986, Daniel married Gail Mashek, also a St. Olaf grad.  After working as a social worker and medic in the MN Army National Guard, Daniel graduated from Luther Northwestern Seminary in St. Paul, MN in 1990.

In May, 1992, Daniel was ordained and accepted his first pastoral call at Peace Lutheran Church in West Burlington, IA.  He went on to serve four other churches:  Trinity Lutheran, New Hampton, IA; Peace Lutheran, Burlington, WI; Zion Lutheran, Horicon, WI; and St. Michael’s Lutheran in Hustisford, WI.  Daniel was a life-long learner and always eager to hone his skills.  During his career, he obtained his Marriage and Family therapist license and continually pursued interests in theology, technology, photography, camping, and art.  Dan’s strongest passion was for serving others, those in his churches as well as anyone who was fortunate to cross his path. He loved his family dearly and was most grateful for time spent laughing together.  

Daniel is survived by his wife and his sons David (Heather) and Joel and preceded in death by his parents.
