Daniel Williams Obituary
Daniel Lee Williams
He leaves behind his wife, Juanita; his children, Dannita Williams Schacht, Scott Williams, Kevyn Williams and Melana Williams Salsbury; along with four grandchildren; brothers, Steve and Mark Williams of Snohomish; and Wendy Criscuolo.
Dan was born in 1942 and lived his life in Snohomish with his family in Machias. He graduated from Snohomish High School, attended UW and Cal State where he met Juanita and married in 1965, and returned to Washington to raise their four children.
Dan started in real estate in 1971 with D.A. Duryee and in 1990, started his own brokerage as ERA Dan Williams Realty which his wife, Juanita and son, Kevyn are now running.
He enjoyed his time with his family, the Mariners, his trips to Hawaii in July, the Wednesday night bowling league, and hunting with his friends.
The family is planning an open house to celebrate his life at the family home on Sunday, June 12, 2011 between 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. (during the Mariner game, of course).
Donations in Dan's memory may be made to American Cancer Society.

I looked up to Danny as his younger cousin, and I remember how kind he always was to me. I will cherish those memories and am so sad that he is gone. I'm sure heaven is a more lively place now with him there. Rest in peace, Danny.

I was shocked and so deepy sorry to learn from the Chamber news briefs that Dan had paaaed away. When I first went into Real Estate I worked for Dan at Duryee Real Estate. He was a good trainer for my career in Real Estate and I have always admired him as a person and his business integrity. He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Juanita, and all of the family at this very sad time. May God Bless you and keep you in his Love.

Wendy, Steve, and Mark,
I was sorry to hear about Dan. He taught us "little kids" to play baseball when he was desperate for a team, so he could play! He was a pretty good coach. Machias was a great place to grow up, especially our neighborhood. My sincere regrets to all of the family.
