Daniel L. Bibb, Esq. October 31, 1954 – January 3, 2026

Daniel Lawrence Bibb, 71, of Harrington Park, New Jersey, died on January 3, 2026, surrounded in love by his family. He leaves behind his beloved wife Gabriele Higgins Bibb; daughter Devon Bibb and George Valdivia; and daughter Diana Bibb. His daughter Danielle Bibb predeceased him on January 7, 2024.

Dan will be greatly missed by his sisters Susan Markisz, and Barbara Carns; sister-in-law Ann Higgins; brother-in-law Michael Higgins; cousin Gwynne Barila; and aunt Antoinette Barila. Dan is survived by many nieces, nephews, friends, colleagues, and countless others whose lives he touched. His life was defined by an unwavering love of family and friends.

When he was younger, Dan attended Villanova University, where he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's most prestigious academic honor society. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, followed by a Masters of Arts Degree in Political Science. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor at Seton Hall Law School, and began a 40-year career in criminal litigation and trial practice at the state and federal level, both as a prosecutor and later as a defense attorney. In 1982, he joined the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, as an Assistant District Attorney. Dan was a legendary prosecutor in the D.A.'s Office, earning the respect of fellow prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, and the NYPD. He was one of only a dozen prosecutors to be named Senior Trial Counsel.

Dan met the love of his life, Gabriele, and they married in May 1988. They welcomed three daughters Danielle, Devon and Diana. Dan's most cherished traditions included beach vacations with his family to the Outer Banks, North Carolina; sitting by the pool or at the beach; hosting celebrations for family and friends; and watching epic high fantasy adventure and action films. He was a devoted "Dead Head," attending many Grateful Dead concerts. Dan loved attending dinners and gatherings, talking about old and cold cases, and reminiscing with friends at Forlini's, Coogan's, Uncle Jack's and Villa Mosconi in Manhattan, and PJ Finnegan's in Westwood. Dan's was a life well-lived, and his absence leaves a lasting void for all who knew and loved him.
