Daniel Lee Jaracz

Our cherished Dan Jaracz died at the age of 49 at Elliot Hospital in Manchester, N.H. on December 29, 2018. He was surrounded by his family and friends at the time of his passing and will be forever missed.

Dan was born on August 4th, 1969 in Queens New York. Dan’s family moved to Nashua N.H. in 1978 where he lived and grew up. Dan struggled with illness the majority of his life but he did not let it define him. His positive attitude and sense of humor paved a way to many strong and long lasting friendships. Dan’s compassion also extended to animals and always tried to help animals in need whenever he could. Dan faced his struggles with his health with dignity and strength and fought his entire life and at the same time providing so much joy to his family and friends. Of all of his tremendous qualities that he possessed one of his most notable was his unique fashion sense, including his bright and florescent sneakers that he loved to wear. A pair of these sneakers chosen by his family and friends will be buried with him so that he can continue to impress in Heaven.

Dan was survived by his loving parents Diane and Robert Jaracz, his beloved Fiancée Marsha Allen – Ives, his soon to be Step-Daughter, Amanda Ives and two brothers Robert and Noel. Dan also had a Nephew and two Nieces that he loved dearly. He had a countless number of friends that were very important to him and will always remain in their hearts and memories.

Dan’s wake will be held on Wednesday, January 2nd at the Zis – Sweeney and St. Laurent Funeral Home, 26 Kinsley Street, Nashua NH, between 4:00pm and 8:00pm. Dan will be laid to rest at 10:00am Thursday, January 3rd at Edgewood Cemetery in Nashua N.H. Following the funeral a reception will be held at the Jaracz home, 26 Old Coach Road, Nashua N.H. 03062.

Dan’s compassion and love of life made the world a better place and he will be incredibly missed by all that knew him. A quote made recently by his farther perhaps sums it up best, “I hope God realizes the gift he has been given.”

In Lieu of flowers, the family wishes that donations to the Kitty Angels be made in Daniels name.
