Dana A Cheney

Dana A. Cheney, 59, of Coshocton passed away Monday, August 5, 2024 at Signature Healthcare in Coshocton.  He was born in Coshocton, Ohio on July 7, 1965, to the late Charles Cheney and Sonja Sondles.

Surviving Dana are his wife Sandra (Langdon) Cheney, sons Travis and Nathan; his sister Shelly and her husband Troy Gamertsfelder, a stepbrother and two stepsisters, nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and nephews, uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Dana was an accountant by trade, but a drummer and drum maker at heart. He played with several local bands, including Rare Vintage, Voyager, Traces, and Twist of Fate. He especially enjoyed his time playing drums and worshipping God at North Terrace Church of Christ, Zanesville, Ohio, while his health allowed. Dana made drums under the company name of Medicine Man Custom Drums because he felt drums held a healing power with nature. He was a fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes, the San Franscisco 49ers, and Cleveland Guardians.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, your school’s music program, or your local animal shelter.

The family asks that everyone wear casual attire to the services for Dana.

Calling hours will be held at the Miller Funeral Home, 639 Main St., Coshocton, OH 43812 on Saturday, August 10, 2024 from 12:00pm – 1:00pm with funeral services beginning at 1:00pm with Pastor William Meaige officiating.
