Publish in a newspaper

Daniel Bernard Chandler, born on April 29, 1976, passed away on October 6, 2025, in Howell, Michigan, at the age of 49. His passing leaves a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved him.
Daniel was a devoted husband, father, son, and friend. He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Carolyn Chandler; his parents, Karen and Rebel Reed; and his children: Cain, Colyn with his soon-to-be wife Kristie, Mackenzie with her husband Alex, and Savannah with her soon-to-be husband Hayden. He also leaves behind his cherished grandson Liam and the joyful anticipation of an unborn grandchild. Daniel also leaves behind his sister, Misty Young.
Daniel's life was deeply rooted in love for both his family and his club brothers-two pillars that defined much of who he was. His loyalty and dedication to those closest to him were unwavering, forming bonds that will endure beyond his passing.
A man of passion and spirit, Daniel found joy in the simple yet powerful pleasures of life. He loved listening to music, a constant companion through the years. His motorcycle was more than a machine-it was a symbol of freedom and connection, often shared with his club brothers during countless rides and gatherings. Time spent with them brought him great happiness and laughter
Daniel's presence was magnetic-his nickname "Dude" reflected the easygoing charm that endeared him to so many. Whether on the road or at home surrounded by family, he brought warmth, laughter, and strength to every moment.
May Daniel Bernard "Dude" Chandler be remembered for the love he gave so deeply and the bonds he forged that will never be broken. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
A service for Daniel will take place on October 25, 2025, at 3 PM at Connection Church, 3855 S. Sheldon Road, Canton, MI 48188. Following the service, the family will hold a wake at Forbidden Wheels Detroit.
The family will also have a Celebration of Life at Howell Eagles, 141 Schroeder Park Drive, Howell, MI 48843, on November 16, 2025, from Noon until 5 PM.
