Buzzy was born July 21, 1943 in Dallas, TX to William Raymond Daniel and Virginia Louise Nance.
He passed away Friday, April 13, 2018 in Canton.
Buzzy was a very dedicated servant to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
He was blessed by God to be born into a Christian family, and then, to be born again into God’s family.
He was driven to be the best at anything he set his mind to whether it was work, play or spreading the gospel. Buzzy lived by Ecclesiastes 9:10 “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might,…”
He was deeply concerned that people may live and die without hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ and be eternally lost. This drove him to teach people about the gospel so their eternal souls would reach heaven.
He studied God’s word faithfully every day to increase his knowledge and understanding so that he could live a life more pleasing to God, and share and teach others what he had learned as well. He loved discussing the Bible with everyone, but especially with his life-long wife.
He had a strong connection to family including his sisters and their families and loved getting together and spending time with them. He also took great joy in his grandchildren’s salvation and successes.
Additionally, he took great pleasure in spending time with his racing friends. He loved sharing tips to make a race car more competitive, and he loved the camaraderie he had with his friends, both in the shop and at the race track.
In closing, Buzzy loved to play games and above all, he loved dominoes. No matter whether it was family or friends, he always had time for a game.
He is survived by his Wife, Mary Sue Daniel; Son, William James Daniel; Son, Robert & Christi Daniel; 7 Grandchildren: Brenna, Micah, Hunter, Tyler, Austin, Zach & Ashley; Great Granddaughter, Kaylee; Sisters: Mary & Danny Basham, Toopie & Gary Wilkins, Mona & Hank Collins and Sherry Watkins.
Buzzy is preceded in death by his Parents, William & Virginia Daniel; and Nieces: Lisa Basham, Amy Morris, and Megan Minter.
Interment will be at Wheatland Cemetery in Dallas, TX.
Family will receive friends Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
