Daniel Albert Rebsomen passed away on September 5, 2025 surrounded by his wife and children. He was born on Oct. 3, 1937, in his childhood home in Casablanca, Morocco. His parents were Andre E. Rebsomen, a Frenchman who remained in Morocco after serving as an engineer in WWII, and his mother was Gaetane A Arnone, granddaughter of a Sicilian Evangelical pastor. Daniel was a third generation Adventist, so when it came to being a pastor with a love of evangelism, Daniel followed his heritage. It was thus that in 1956, he went to Collonges-sous- Saleve, France, for college and then in 1958 on to Union College, Lincoln, Neb. At Union he had to learn to speak English while pursuing his other studies and although he grew up speaking French, Arabic, Italian and a smattering of Spanish, that was the hardest thing he ever did. While attending college Daniel worked in various fields of service including health care, customer service, teaching, and ranching. On August 21, 1960, Daniel married Sandra Lee Moller (’60), a Nebraska country girl, who was studying Education at Union College. Frequently throughout his life Daniel would say, “When I married Sandra, I also married a horse,” because for 30 years he kept his promise to Sandra’s grandfather to never sell Sandra’s mare, Maygold. The world grew bigger for them, when Daniel and Sandra added four children to the family and also began their careers that would span 38 yrs across nations and continents. Throughout the years Daniel and Sandra also welcomed 10 other children to live as part of the family. Daniel was an expressive, loving man, a born leader, and confident guide to his family. He was very hard-working, things got done when he was around. He was a keen observer of people and was most frequently correct in his assessments of them or situations. As a pastor he championed the denominational beliefs and organization. His talents included singing, cooking, photography, gardening, mechanics, horseback riding, and swimming. He enjoyed doing electrical work and refinished many pieces of furniture. His mother insisted that he was the only one who could iron clothes properly. His father taught him drafting skills. His handiwork can be seen in the interior design of the Beauvallon, former Quebec City and Smoky Lake churches, as well as in his retirement home. He also spent many summers spearheading development of church camps. Daniel served the Seventh-day Adventist church in the Arkansas-Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota and Wyoming Conferences of the U.S. He served in the Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Quebec Conferences of Canada. As a missionary to Africa, he served as Director of the Chad and Northern Cameroun Mission. He also taught French at the University of Nebraska and to elementary school children in his churches. He leaves to mourn: Sandra (’60), his wife of 65 yrs.; his daughter, ‘Gigi’ Brigitte Rebsomen (John de Beurs) and her daughters, Tiana Bruins (Jordan), Chantel  Caughlin (Darcy), Ashley Tymchuk and son Ayden; his son, Jean-Marc (Sonja Hackenberg) and his children, Darian Rebsomen (Dani), Brant Rebsomen, Dana Rae deTar (Seth), Katrina Grise (Terrance) ; and his daughter, Jeanine Rebsomen and her children, Philipp Kremic (Amanda), Nathaniel Kremic (Kristi), Adriana Schudlo (Ryan), as well as 6 great-grandchildren. He also leaves a brother, Jean-Paul and three sisters, Genevieve ’68, Solange, and Monique ’84. Daniel was pre-deceased by a son, Andre, his parents and a brother, Andre, and sister, Denise.
