Russell's obituary

Russell Daniel, a loving and friendly soul, passed away on July 20, 2025. Born to Willard and Carolyn Daniel on November 16, 1960, Russell touched many lives with his kindness and goodwill during his time with us. Predeceased by his beloved wife, Lori, and his parents, Russell leaves behind a legacy of love and friendship.

Surviving him is his beautiful family who he cherished more than life itself. His children, Nicole (Jason) Daniel, Matthew (Dana) Daniel, and Kelly Daniel loved him dearly, and his memory will continue to light their ways. His granddaughters, Kelsea and Riley Daniel, as well as his grandson, Landon Gruener, were the apples of his eye. Their bond with their grandfather was undeniably special, and they will hold onto the memory of his love and guidance for the rest of their lives.

Renowned for his loving and friendly personality, Russell was the kind of man who never met a stranger. Whether it was with a warm smile, friendly conversation, or simple act of kindness, he made everyone around him feel welcome and loved.

Russell's love and kindness will not be forgotten. Those who knew him will remember his warm heart, his friendly smile, and his unwavering love for his family. He will be profoundly missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to have known him. The love and warmth he shared with us will continue to inspire us all.
