With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Daniel Waterman, who left this world on October 8, 2025, at the age of 22.
Daniel’s journey was marked by courage, love, and a strength that inspired everyone around him. On Super Bowl night, February 9, 2025, Daniel was involved in a devastating car accident that left him with life-threatening injuries. He suffered broken bones, spinal trauma, and collapsed lungs — injuries that would change his life forever.
Despite the immense challenges he faced, Daniel fought with an incredible spirit for eight long months. His determination, resilience, and unwavering will to live became a beacon of hope for his family, friends, and community.
Born on January 18, 2003, Daniel grew up with a heart full of kindness and a contagious sense of humor. He was the kind of person who could make anyone smile — always ready with a joke, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement.
Daniel will be remembered for his courage in the face of unimaginable adversity, his deep love for his family and friends, and the light he brought to every life he touched.
Though his time here was far too short, Daniel’s strength and spirit will continue to inspire those who knew and loved him.
Funeral arrangements and a celebration of life will be announced by the family in the coming days.
Rest peacefully, Daniel. Your fight is over, but your light will never fade.
