Daniel Wilhelm's Obituary
Daniel Wilhelm, 71, of Cinnaminson, NJ, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2026 after a short battle with cancer. Born in Riverside, NJ, to John and Jane Wilhelm on October 20, 1954, Dan lived a life centered around family, friendship, and the community he loved.
He was the devoted husband of Judi Wilhelm (née Snell) for 37 years. Loving father of Jillian Wilhelm and Dana Wilhelm. Dear brother of his twin, Don Wilhelm, Barbara Repsher (James), and the late George Wilhelm. He will also be deeply missed by his granddog, Trevor, as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. His nieces and nephews lovingly referred to him as “Uncle Buck.”
Dan was well known for his car dealership, Star Cars, in Palmyra, where he proudly owned and operated the business for many years. His signature line, “Sold by Wilhelm,” became well recognized by customers and friends alike.
A passionate fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dan loved entertaining family and friends—especially poolside at his home while enjoying a dirty martini or a Bloody Mary. He also enjoyed traveling and spending time with those he loved most.
A gathering of family and friends will be held on Monday, March 16, 2026, at Givnish of Cinnaminson, 1200 Route 130 North, Cinnaminson, NJ, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with his memorial service beginning at 12:00 p.m.
