Daniel Grass Obituary

On November 27, 1980, which happened to be Thanksgiving day, Daniel Joseph (D.J.) joined older brothers Billy and Michael into the Grass family. His education began at Madison campus elementary where he made lifelong friends. He also attended DuPont elementary and eventually earned his GED. Daniel had declared at age 3 that he could drive a backhoe and so as a young man he went to Alabama where he graduated from heavy equipment school. Although his life choices made his road through life rocky Daniel was always a hard worker and he made many friends along the way. And then on December 26, 2005 DJ met the love of his life – his daughter Taleah Danielle. He and Taleah have enjoyed a loving father daughter relationship since that day. Sadly this past Sunday, November 20, 2016 we learned of his untimely demise. Daniel is now with his brother Michael and leaves his father Jerry (Vicki), mother Cindy and oldest brother Billy along with the rest of his loving family with broken hearts. Rest in peace and in God's love our DJ.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, November 26, 2016 from 2pm until 8pm at Eastland Funeral Home to honor DJ's memory.

Words cannot express the sorrow felt when I heard about your sons passing. Yet another tragic loss for your family. I am so sorry and can only pray to God for you to have the strength to endure this pain felt so deep inside your heart. Jerry, I have worked with you many years, you are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. If I could be there for you I would. Know that I am thinking of you my friend.

Heartbreaking can't begin to describe this when I heard he was gone...I only got to know Daniel for a year and a half..but in that time we worked side by side day in and day out. We got close..lots of laughs..inside jokes..struggles..life. He was one of my closest and dearest friends I've ever had. My heart aches for his family... Billy you hung the moon to him!! Sending love, thoughts, and peace to all of you. His presence was unforgettable and his memory will forever be tattooed on our hearts....

Our prayers are for God's comfort and strength in the days to come for all Daniel's family. There is just no easy way to get through these sad times but to focus on the love and the good times you shared with him. We know you will miss him terribly. As grandparents who lived in Fl. We didn't see him often but when we did, his big smile and sweet personality is what we'll remember most. Draw close to those you love and help each other - he will live on in his sweet daughter, Taleah. God bless you. Tom and Pat Waring
