Donald Ray “Pedo” Daniel, of Cullman passed away Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020 at the age of 87.
Pedo, as he was nicknamed many years ago, was a very loving and caring husband, daddy and papa. He is fondly remembered by always saying, “It won’t take you five minutes” when he was asking someone to help him with something. He was a United States Navy veteran and served in the Korean War. Pedo never met a stranger; he loved talking to everyone and always had a joke to tell. He worked 40-plus years at the Cullman Electric Co-op.
He is preceded in death by his parents Stephen Presley and Ruth O’Neal Daniel; his wife Nell Ann Daniel; sisters Ethel Pierce and Orene Shaw; and brothers Lester Daniel, Henry Daniel and James Daniel.
He leaves to cherish his memory his daughters Nell (Tommy) McWhorter, Del (James) Franklin and Pam Miller; grandchildren Daniel (Meridith) Stricklin, Jonathan (Amanda) Franklin and Benjamin (Skarlet) Farris; great-grandchildren Matthew, Harper, Knoxx and Nora James; and a host of nieces and nephews.
