Daniel Lee Conant

Born on July 30, 1961, Daniel lived a life marked by resilience, despite his disabilities. His journey was guided by his quiet demeanor, a quick wit, and sense of humor. He had a passion for The Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants baseball teams. He was a devout fan of Elvis Presley, WWE Professional Wrestling, and he had a deep conviction of The Special Olympics that always reminded him, that he was more than his disability. He touched so many lives, and changed the world around him, one at a time.

As we remember Daniel, we are comforted by his faith and hope in a better world, without suffering and pain, a place of greater light and peace. May his memory serve as a source of strength to all who mourn his passing.

"There is no Death, but Only Change

With Recompense from Victory Won

The Gift of Him who Loved All Men."
