William Daniel Obituary
William F. Daniel, "Bill", was born to Erle and Ruby Grace Wells Daniel on April 6th, 1928 in Chipley, Florida. He was welcomed into eternity on Tuesday, December 10th, 2013.
Bill was an Eagle Scout who received his Bachelor's, Master's and Juris Doctorate degrees from the University of Florida where he served as President of the Florida Blue Key. During the Korean War, Bill served as a research psychologist.
Bill practiced law in Tallahassee for 38 years, including terms as a small claims judge and as a federal magistrate. He loved people and viewed his work as a practical way to show the love of Jesus to others.
His passion was for serving God and he did so as a Gideon for over 40 years, a lay preacher, and following retirement, as an ordained evangelist. Bill loved people, delivering Bibles, and preaching in many foreign countries.
He is survived by his beloved Karen, her daughter Michele and her husband Stephen, his grandchildren Ashley and Brittney, and great grandchildren, Tyler and Andrew; Bill's son Bryan and his wife Gisela, his grandchildren Christian, Benjamin, Sammy and Camberley; and his sons Beaty, Blake and Brent.
A service celebrating his life will be held at First Baptist Church, Tallahassee, on Tuesday, December 17th at 2p.m. Interment will take place in Culley's Meadowwood Memorial Park.

"Hello my beautiful big-brown-eyed daughter!" Little did I know that early Dec. 2013 would be the last time I would hear that familiar greeting from my father-in-love. For over 15 years now, that is how he started every conversation with me. Bill Daniel went to sleep in his chair and woke up in heaven at the throne of the Savior he loved so dearly. He served his God with heart, soul, mind and strength. He loved me well. I will miss him and ever be thankful for his place in my life.

I am so incredibly blessed for knowing Brother Bill and hearing the word of God from this very special man. He touched my life in many, many ways. The world as we know it is missing a beautiful soul, however Brother Bill is with our Savior.
We pray that in this time of loss,
You'll feel God's love much more
And that you'll find your comfort
In the presence of the Lord
We pray God pours upon you,
His sweet amazing grace
And overflow your heart with peace
As you live in His embrace.
