Daniel Meade Obituary
He is survived by his father Dr. Thomas Meade, Allentown PA; Sister Melissa Meade of San Diego, CA; and Brother Christopher Meade of Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Daniel was employed at New York Life as a financial analyst after graduating from Penn State and DeSales University with a business degree.
Daniel was gifted with a kind soul, keen mind, and a selfless heart. His creativity and initiative were incredible. His hobbies included web design, eBay business development, comic book aficionado, sports and political analyst.
Dan never wanted to be the center of attention but his calm and steady demeanor complimented any gathering. It came as a pleasant surprise when Daniel had a short career as a lead 'scream singer' in a post- high school band.
Empathy could be his middle name, but courage and strength define him. The love and adoration his family and friends share are limitless. He will be a part of our hearts and souls forever and missed beyond words.
A celebration of life service will be held at a later date, to be announced. Arrangements by the J.S. Burkholder Funeral Home, Allentown. Condolences may be offered at: www.jsburkholder.com

Very awesome dude. We had quite a few things in common, close in age and musical taste as well as skateboarding culture. We used to have long talks every night about life and various things. Very sad to be hearing of this news and just discovering this. Will always hold in my heart

My sweet Dan, I am truly at a loss for words. Your soul shined so bright and you made such an impact on my life. Your advice and encouragement meant so much to me and I was so lucky to have known you. You can finally Rest In Peace. It brings me comfort to know you're finally with your mother, who you talked about so much. I will never forget you and all you've done for me. You will be forever missed.

I am writing this with a heavy heart. I sat next to Daniel at Cigna, and we formed quite a fun, loving work relationship. We had times of joking and laughing, but we helped each other as well (work and personally). I often would call him my work son. I had a good time with him the few times we met after work hours. He had a heart of gold and a good sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with the Meade family.

Dr Meade.. I worked with Daniel from his very first day at Cigna until we all went on COVID lockdown. What an absolute amazing person Daniel was. I will miss Daniel immensely. From talking politics to literally fixing any computer issues that I had at home or in the office. My sincere condolences to you and the entire family. Just know that Death takes the body. God takes the soul. Our mind holds the memories. Our heart keeps the love. Our faith lets us know you will meet Daniel again. Daniel was loved and adored by so many at Cigna and New York Life. May the amazing Daniel memories sustain you during your time of bereavement. God´s Speed!!
