Donald Daniels, Jr., 75, Faribault, obituary

Don Willis Daniels, Jr., 75, left this world peacefully at his daughter’s Faribault home on June 11, 2023, after a tough battle with cancer.

Don was born on Nov. 28, 1947, to Helen (Summer) and Donald Daniels, Sr. Don graduated from Boys Town Nebraska in 1965. He worked in construction. Don enjoyed hunting, fishing and having fun. His favorite hobby was Indian artifact collecting. He had an eye for spotting them in a field. Don loved the idea of “how they probably have not been touched by another human hand for 1,000 years.” Don is survived by his daughter, Michelle (Todd) and grandchildren Cassie and Matthew Juberien; his son, Chad Zak; brother David (Patty); niece, Missy, and nephews, David, Ryan and Justin; brother-in-law, Doug Chesney and numerous friends.

Don was preceded in death by his parents and sisters Margaret and Marsha.

A celebration of life will be planned for late August.
