Daniel E. MacDonald

Danny MacDonald adored his family and was happiest when they were gathered together for an occasion or one- on-one time with each of them. He really was the world's best uncle and his nieces & nephews were treated as if they were his own children. Periodically throughout his life he was blessed to live with each of his siblings and their families. He loved it and they loved having him under their roof.

He had a huge heart and was always willing to help others. Danny was a sports fanatic and loved hockey perhaps the most. He had a green thumb and loved spending time in the yard doing work in the company of 'Tucker' the black lab.

Danny died unexpectedly on Wednesday, July 1, 2020. He went peacefully while surrounded by his family.
