Sunrise
July 25, 1962 was an awesome day for the late Bernice Hunter Daniel and G. B. Daniel in Atlanta, Georgia. God blessed them with Bernice’s first child, Derrick Ricardo Daniel. Although he has other siblings, he and his brother, Steven, were reared together.
Day Light
Derrick spent his early years in Atlanta, Georgia. After the passing of his mother--when he was 14 years of age, he was reared by his Uncle & Aunt (Willie & Fannie Hunter) in Atlanta. Derrick graduated from Walter F. George High School, Atlanta, Georgia. After which time, he resided for a period of time with his Grandmother, Minnie Jewel Hunter, in Macon Georgia. Derrick relocated to Tavares, Florida and has been in the Tavares/Eustis areas for some time. Derrick never married; however, he had a very special friend, the late Tracy Moore. He assisted in raising Trevon “Tre” Stanley, as his son. Since Derrick was disabled, he was never employed; however, he fulfilled many requests by making CD’s, recording music, taking photos, and being a vivid communicator.
Derrick's hobbies included art (drawing), listening to music, baseball, playing card games, making greeting cards, and checking on family members, friends, the elderly and handicapped. His favorite team was the Braves of Atlanta, Georgia. Derrick loved his family and regularly reached out to them with phone calls and visitations, until his health began to fail. Derrick always told others that there is no other family like his family. On a regular basis, he kept in contact with everyone and communicated that information to others. He was the glue that bonded many individuals together.
He knew and accepted our Lord and Savior years ago. When he was able, Derrick enjoyed attending Bible Studies regularly. He was previously a member of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church and later joined another church in the Tavares, Florida area.
