Donald Lee Daniels

Donald Lee Daniels, 69, of Eldorado, passed away peacefully at his home on Thursday, April 23, 2026. Donald was born on December 25, 1956, in Jacksonville, Florida, to the late Claude Reese and Wilma Louise Daniels. On October 25, 1984, he married the love of his life, Barbara Sue Warren, and together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Donald worked as a painter, a trade he took great pride in. He was known for his strong work ethic and the care he put into everything he did. Outside of work, Donald found joy in the things he loved most—his family, his interests, and the simple pleasures of life. He had a deep appreciation for Native American culture, especially eagles, and he was a devoted fan of the Florida State Seminoles. Above all, he loved spending time with his family and took great delight in spoiling his beloved wife. He is survived by his devoted wife, Barbara Daniels; his children, Tamara (Bruce) Briddick, Veronica (Joel) Johnson, Tammie Jo (Mike) Keene, Carrie Daniels, and Gary (Clara) Turbeville; and his many grandchildren, Ashley (Raj Peacock) Wideman, Jake Wideman, Mackenzie Johnson, JT (Lexi) Johnson, Mike Keene, Taylor Keene, Mariah Daniels, Alexandra Davis, Angel Davis, Paige Davis, Trenton Willis, Brandon Turbeville, and Scarlett Turbeville. He also leaves behind his cherished great-grandchildren, Brantley Wideman, Wyatt Wideman, Montreiko Peacock, Azrah Peacock, Zaria Peacock, Quinn Johnson-Villegas, Reyna Fields, and Xavier Laurel. Donald is also survived by his siblings, David (Savannah) Pipkins, Jimmy (Linda) Daniels, Thomas (Irene Torres) Daniels, Sharon (EJ) Shrowder, and Kenneth (Nikkie) Daniels, along with many nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters-in-law, Jean Davis and Cheryl Smithers. In accordance with Donald’s wishes, he will be cremated, and no services will be held at this time.
