MATTHEW "MATT" THOMAS DANIEL, 41 of Sherwood, left this beautiful earth much too soon in a sudden motorcycle accident on April 28. Born May 3, 1975, Matt was boisterous and lived life to the fullest and enjoyed every day of his life. No one worked any harder or took such pride in the work he produced. He was the owner and operator of "Flying D Transportation", as well as a master mechanic. He was known far and wide by many and always made an impression of one kind or another. Matt is survived by his mother, Vickie Henderson; brother, Michael Daniel; nephew, Gunner Daniel; niece, Madison Daniel; grandmother, Jo Raney; uncle, Paul Raney; and cousin, Sheldon Raney. His many Daniel family aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is also survived by his most beloved companion, Wendy Smith, and her daughter, Morgan King. Matt is preceded in death by his father, Charles Daniel; his paternal grandparents, Ted and Maggie Daniel; and his maternal grandfather, Norborn "Nub" Raney. Matt was full of life and always had the crowd laughing wherever he was; always offering a helping hand to friends and family, as he would have wished his organs were donated to help others in need. Matt was loved mightily by his family and had the deepest of love for them which meant more to him than anything. He will be greatly missed by all that loved and knew him. Visitation will be held at Griffin Leggett Rest Hills Funeral Home on Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at 6 p.m. Funeral service will begin at 6:30 p.m. Burial will take place at Bryant's Cove Cemetery on Wednesday, May 3, 2017 at 1 p.m. An online guestbook is available at www.griffinleggettresthills.com.
