Daniel K. Hanlon, age 74, of Hartville, Ohio and Naples, Florida died on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, following a brief illness. Born on May 15, 1951, he was the son of the late Albert and Lois "Jean" Hanlon of Norton, Ohio.

He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Deborah, along with their son Lonnie of Akron, Ohio and daughter Amanda of Austin, Texas. He is also survived by a brother, David Hanlon and a sister, Debra Sepos.

Mr. Hanlon founded the Allen Keith Construction Company in 1976, a firm which became northeast Ohio's preeminent residential, commercial and industrial restoration and disaster recovery services business.

Upon his retirement, Mr. Hanlon devoted much of his time to the collector car hobby with a special focus upon pre-World War II Packard automobiles.  Active as a Life Member of the Classic Car Club of America, the Antique Automobile Club of America, Packard International and several other auto clubs, Mr. Hanlon is a past Regional Director of the Florida Region of the Classic Car Club of America. And, for decades, he served as a show judge, an event coordinator and as host of regional and national classic car shows, developing a national reputation within the collector car world.

For the past sixty years, almost without interruption, Mr. Hanlon had attended the Annual AACA "Week at Hershey" which started out as a father-son ritual with his late father, himself a car collector, spawning a lifetime of vintage auto and auto memorabilia collecting. He spent this year's "Hershey Week" with his son, Lonnie.

An avid golfer, Mr. Hanlon was a member of the Congress Lake Club in Hartville, where he served as a past Board member and former President of the Club. He was also a member of the Naples Grande Club where he and Mrs. Hanlon would spend more than half of every year.

On the following morning, a vintage car procession will depart the Arnold Funeral Home, 504 W Maple St in Hartville at 10:30 am for a private burial ceremony at the North Lawn Cemetery in Canton.
