Thomas Dean McDaniel was born to his mother Jacqueline Melvin and father-in-law Chip Johnston.
He lives on through his children, Jaylynn and Preston McDaniel; mother of his children, Katlyn; his brothers and sisters; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, his grandparents, friends and in-laws.
Thomas was a hardworking, dedicated father and friend. He will be missed by so many. He enjoyed many things – fishing, his snakes and most of all his family. His smile will shine bright from heaven like it did here on Earth and through his children who he adored more than anything. His laughter and smile were contagious. His children will live on for him and continue his legacy. Heaven is brighter with him there.
