October 31, 2023, 66, Dudley —

Gary Wayne Daniels, 66, of Dudley passed away on Tuesday at his residence. He is the son of the late Thurman and Eunice Daniels. Gary was a master craftsman; he could make anything work and look good too. He enjoyed spending time with his family and making them laugh. He could light up a room when he entered. Gary was a selfless man. He always wanted to help others, to the point he would do without to help someone. He never met a stranger, he loved everyone. Gary also liked seeing old cars.

A service to celebrate Gary’s life will be held Sunday at 3:00 P.M. in the chapel of Shumate-Faulk Funeral Home with Rev. Luke Davis officiating. The family will receive friends for one hour prior to the service. 

Gary is survived by his children, Josh Daniels, Patrick Daniels, Mitchell Daniels, Christian Daniels and wife, Briana, and Shelly Willis; brothers, Thurman Craig Daniels Sr., Willie Carroll Daniels, and Houston Tommy Dearman; a sister, Melissa Daniels Wise; and 3 grandchildren.

A sister, Barbara Gail Lunsford preceded him in death.
