Daniel was born in Dallas, TX and raised in Birmingham, AL. He recently resided in Myrtle Beach, SC. Daniel was a good man. He believed in and loved God. He always did his best to work hard. If you knew Daniel, then you knew his family and him putting them first. Anything he did he did for the love of his family. Some may not realize how religious he was, but he prayed daily. Sometimes he could be found laying across his bed praying about the day. Daniel was a fun loving, always happy, never met a stranger kind of guy. Daniel’s perspective on life: “If I can make one person laugh or smile today, then I’ve done my job.”
