Of Fairport, NY, formerly of Sheldon, NY.  Died peacefully on  October 12, 2023 at age 80.  Youngest son of the late Lawrence and Mildred (George) Daniel.  Survived by beloved wife, Sharon; and loving sons, Scott (Susan), Gregory (Marjorie), and Kevin (Carrie).  Devoted grandchildren, Steven (Shelby Hiquet), Jillian, Mackensie, Katelin and Catherin.   Dear brother of Lawrence (Moon) Daniel, and Donald (late Joanne) Daniel ; and late John (late Beverly) Daniel, and late Norman (late Grace) Daniel;  many nieces and nephews. 

David grew up working on his family’s dairy farm until he joined Eastman Kodak in 1967, retiring in 1995 with 28 years of service.  David was a devoted husband, and was blessed to have his loving high school sweetheart, Sharon, by his side since they met 63 years ago.  David loved sports of all kinds, enjoyed playing golf with his sons, as well as coaching and attending their sports activities throughout their years in Fairport.  His five grandchildren brought him immense joy – he loved watching them grow up, playing sports, and was so proud of their accomplishments.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Legacy at GrandeVie in Penfield, and the Fairport Baptist Home for their kindness, devotion, and care to David over the years.

A Mass of Christian burial will be held at the Church of the Resurrection, 63 Mason Road, Fairport NY at 10am on Wednesday, October 18, 2023. A reception will follow in the Parish Emmaus Hall.

The funeral will also be live-streamed at:  assumptionresurrection.org/livestream.

Those wishing may contribute to a charity of your choice in David’s name.

    Sharon, I am so sorry to hear about David’s passing. It has been over 60 years since I have seen him but I remember him well from when he hung around Vince and Bob in high school. May our Heavenly Father give you peace and strength during this time.
