Services to celebrate the life of Daniel Alan Read, 15, will be held 2:00 pm Monday, March 11, 2019 at Gateway Baptist Church. The family will receive family and friends immediately following the service. There will be a private graveside service.
Daniel was born in Columbia on May 30, 2003. He was a sophomore at Dutch Fork High School. Daniel was exuberant and full of life, loved video games and his friends. A huge part of his life was playing soccer. For 10 years, he played for Coach Ty Nguyen and his Panther teams. Daniel's latest passion was his rescue dog, Lilo, whom he adored.
As a young man Daniel was introduced to God’s grace and teachings. He believed in Jesus Christ as his Savior and held 1 Timothy 1: 15-16 as his life verse. Those left to cherish his memories include his parents, Alan and Stephanie Read; a sister, Rachel Read; maternal grandparents, Monica and Andrew Wadium; paternal grandmother, Carole A. Forshee; aunts and uncles Michelle McKnight, Elizabeth and Steve Capelli, Andrew Wadium, Jr. and Frank Read; cousins Evan Read, Morgan Mawhinney, Francesca Capelli and Jayleigh Read.
The family wishes to extend a thank you to honorary grandparents, Jo and Al Amancio and their family for the love and care they have given over the years.
