Noah Otis Daniels

Born a Kentucky mountain boy, Noah always dreamed of sailing the seas. He tried to convince his parents to allow him to join the military early, but his mother refused. So, he attended a nearby technical school studying welding. Soon, he was sent to Fort Knox, Kentucky for practical hands-on training. There, he worked with an Army Sargeant, and together they retrofitted General Patton’s tanks, which were used to fight in the North African campaign against Field Marshall Irwin Rommel (The Desert Fox). Noah’s work was so impressive that the Sargeant managed to get him hired into civil service as his apprentice. Noah possessed an innate ability to design and improve any project that he undertook.

Once he was of age, he fulfilled his dream of sailing the seas by joining the United States Navy, serving during WWII from March 25, 1943 – April 15, 1946. Thereafter, he returned home to Kentucky where he soon realized that he missed military life and serving his country. So, on March 7, 1947, he reenlisted this time with the United States Coast Guard where he served during the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War.

In March of 1954, Noah married Shirley Mae, and together with their children, they traveled the world in the military until his retirement from the USCG on September 30, 1964. Noah, then, became a small businessperson, working hard to provide for his family and to instill in his children the importance of following your dreams.

Noah was a true Patriot. He loved God, his family, and his country. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of over sixty-two years, Shirley Mae Daniels, his parents James and Verna Daniels, his siblings Agnes Reynolds, Anna Lee MacCarter, James Daniels, Louise Daniels, Virginia Spradlin, WillaDean Patton, Glenda Faye Smith, Barbara Platter, Donald Daniels, and Gwendolyn Fulks, his granddaughter Rachel Garrett, and his son-in-law Robert Brandon. He is survived by his children William Lipscomb, Willadean Brandon, Sandy Adams (John), and Kimberly Hansen (Bjarke), grandchildren William Lipscomb, Jr., Shawn Brandon (Tara), Melinda Wilmon (Jesse), Sonya Kinley (Matt), Jack Adams (Kris), Katheryn Givens (Tom), Jesper Hansen, Kalle Hansen (Tine), and Steffen Hansen, his great grandchildren Jordan Garrett, Noah Garrett, Dylan Brandon (Heather), Sarah Kinley, Sadie Kinley, Hjalte Hansen, Nohr Hansen, Esther Hansen, Elly Hansen, Clara Hansen, and Naja Hansen, his great-great-granddaughter Rilee Brandon, his brother-in-law Fred Fulks and much loved nieces and nephews.
