Daniel Shrager Obituary
For 60 beautiful years, Daniel was the loving husband to Marsha. Their bond was a testament to enduring love and unwavering companionship, a beacon of commitment and partnership that has inspired all who knew them.
As a psychiatrist, Daniel dedicated his life to understanding and helping others. His work was not just a profession but a calling, one that he pursued with compassion, dedication, and an unyielding desire to make a difference in the lives of his patients.
He was the proud father of three wonderful children, each of whom carries forward his legacy of kindness, wisdom, and integrity. His eight grandchildren brought immense joy to his life, and he often spoke of the profound happiness they gave him.
Daniel frequently shared that he led a very lucky and happy life. His words remind us of the gratitude he felt for the love, joy, and fulfillment he experienced. It is this gratitude and happiness that we will carry with us as we remember him.
Though he is no longer with us, Daniel's spirit, his love, and his legacy continue to live on in our hearts and minds. We honor his memory by cherishing the lessons he taught us, the love he shared with us, and the happiness he brought into our lives.
Lo nachat b'shalom, Dr. Daniel Shrager. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Today I rewatched 'My Octopus Teacher' and thought of Dr. Shrager who first mentioned this documentary to me. I was a patient then in Pittsburgh and for a time in Florida. He was a wonderful doctor and a joy to talk with. He was a person who remains long in memory.

To the Shrager family and to everyone involved in any way in the mental health community: I'm so very sorry for the loss of one of the greatest psychiatrists I have ever known. Dan was my first clinical supervisor when I began my clinical social work career in community mental health. With a shiny new degree and very little experience, I was always able to trust that Dan would be available to share what he knew with me, to step in and rescue when I was working with someone I was too inexperienced to help, and to encourage and guide me, when needed, in every mental/behavioral health job I worked in after that initial period of clinical supervision he provided me with.

To the Shrager family thank you for sharing Dr. Shrager with all his patients but especially me. He got me through some very difficult times by listening and caring! He told me it´s ok to have depressed and anxious times but not to let it control my life. He will be missed by many but his legacy will live on

What a beautiful human being. Dr. Shrager was level headed with such a kind demeanor. Nothing was off base or out of line when speaking with him. There was never a problem or obstacle that couldn't be overcome without patience and persistence. His knowledge of life and people always made you feel you were an instrument of something much bigger. God bless you my friend. I will always think of you and smile when in need of guidance. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time.

“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” ~ George Eliot
Rest in Peace, Dr. Shrager. May comfort and peace be with your family at this difficult time.
