A Lake Hopatcong native, Daniel attended Jefferson Township High School and worked as a driver at the Sunrise House Treatment Center in Lafayette, his social media page says.
Daniel had several passions in life, including music, fishing, hiking, and other outdoor activities, according to his obituary.
He was also known for his one-of-a-kind quirks — such as loving window air conditioners, traffic lights, and Barney the dinosaur.
Above all, Daniel is remembered for his incredibly optimistic, generous, and endlessly empathetic spirit.
Daniel leaves behind his loving mother, Fran; his father, Robert; stepmother, Cheryl; grandmother, Patricia; sisters, Kim and Christine; nephews, Eric and Matthew; uncle, Frankie; as well as several extended family members and numerous close friends.
Daniel’s funeral was held at the Sparta United Methodist Church in Sparta on Wednesday, June 1.
