Dennis A. Daniels

September 16, 1938 - May 2, 2019

Dennis A. Daniels, age 80, of St. Charles passed Thursday May 2, 2019 at his home.

He was born September 16, 1938 in Chicago Illinois to Anton and Tillie Daniels.

Dennis was, to all who knew him, a man that took life as a breeze through palm leaves in Florida. He spent much of his time doing what he enjoyed: fishing with his son, boating and scuba diving, watching football and, most of all, being a grandfather. A man of travels, he gazed on the sights of many shores and brought the tropical sunshine with him wherever he went. One could see that ocean sparkle in his eyes with each grin. A good man, with a true heart; he will be sorely missed by all.

Mr. Daniels is survived by his wife, Rebecca; a son, Scott Daniels; two step-children, Tracey (Bob) Barkes and daughter-in-law, Penny Tvrdik; six grandchildren, Maddie Daniels, Joshua Scull, John Scull, Toni Duarte, Tyler Barkes and Amber Barkes; fifteen great-grandchildren; two brothers, Roger (Carol) Daniels, and Ray (Nancy) Daniels; as well as a sister, Sheila (Rex) Garner.

He is preceded in death by his parents and his step-son, Ted Tvrdik.

There will be a private memorial service on Wednesday, May 29 for close friends and family.
