Obituary for Donald Dan Daniel (3D Danny)

On Sunday, March 20, 2022, Donald Dan Daniel, a loving husband to his late wife Etta and father of 4, passed away at the age of 84.  Don was born on July 20, 1937, in Binger Oklahoma to Vernon Daniel and Alpha (Nabors) Daniel.  He was proceeded in death by his loving wife, Etta Bell Daniel, father, mother, brother, Jimmy Daniel, and sister Kathern Compton.  Don and Etta were married on June 21, 1956.  Don joined the Air Force after he graduated from high school.  He was stationed in Texas, Florida, Alaska, Germany, and Oklahoma.  He also served in the Vietnam War.  He retired from the service in 1976. After retirement, he took college courses just for the knowledge.  His favorite area of study was psychology.

Don loved working on his family genealogy, watching Etta feed the birds, collecting coins and photography.  He loved traveling all over the United States and Europe.  He belonged to S.M.A.R.T. Club (Special Military Active Recreation Travelers). He was also a member of the VFW, Masons and Hillbilly's at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, where Don and Etta faithfully served since 2004.  One of his greatest joys was spending time with his kids, grand kids, great grandkids, and great-great grandkids.  He always had a smile on his face and loved joking around with people.  He never met a stranger.  He loved and accepted everyone just the way they were.
