Daniel James Ferguson went Home to the Lord on December 23, 2021, at age 56, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Dan was born to Cecil & Annie Ferguson on December 27, 1964, in Little Rock, Arkansas. He grew up in Benton and attended school in Bryant. He received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arkansas. Dan earned his Eagle Scout rank at 14 and held his Professional Engineers license in both Arkansas and Texas.

Dan met his wife, Beverly, in 1989. They were married on January 10, 1998, and were blessed with their son, Nathaniel James, in 2003. They resided in Plano and Frisco, where lifelong friends surrounded them around every corner. They actively volunteered in the community and focused their love and attention on raising Nate, and their many dogs (Sam, Zoie, Lucy, Roxy, Razorback, & Gator) and Dan's one beloved cat (Queasy).

In addition to being a dedicated and loving husband & father, Dan worked in sales in industrial automation. He was always known for going the extra mile for his customers and was always willing to lend a helping hand to his co-workers. Dan also loved music, specifically playing his guitar. He spent many hours hanging out with the guys at Texas Music Lab and never missed a chance to pick up a guitar or bring home a stray instrument when he could. In his spare time, he taught guitar lessons and contributed his talents as part of the Sunday worship team at church.

Dan had an unwavering faith in God, and his faith only grew stronger in his final years of life. He was baptized later in life, but that outward profession of faith led Nate to accept Christ and be baptized shortly after.

Dan joins his dad, Cecil, in Heaven, where they are sure to be spending their days fishing. Also preceding him in death are his two grandmothers, two grandfathers, & two uncles. He is survived by his mother, Annie, his sister, Sherry, and her husband Greg, all of North Little Rock, Arkansas. His wife, Beverly, and their son Nate of Frisco. His Tia Terry & Tio Ruben Rodriguez of Alice, Texas, along with their three children, Ruben Junior, Melba Villapando, & Nelda Ramon, and their spouses, children, and grandchildren. His mother-in-law, Ann Foreman of Belton, father-in-law, Lynn Foreman of New Braunfels, his sister-in-law Susan Bain, her husband, Mark, and their two children, Katie and Aaron, of Belton. As well as numerous friends & co-workers, he considered family in Texas and Arkansas.

Dan was loved by so many. His positive outlook, generous spirit, and kind heart left an impression wherever he went. He never met a stranger that didn't quickly become a friend; he always went out of his way to help anyone in need and had an incredible work ethic that will forever be remembered.
