Daniel Childress Obituary

CHILDRESS
WINSTON-SALEM – Mr. Daniel Houston Childress, II, 44, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, died at home on July 24, 2025, after a short illness. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Grover Houston Childress, Martha Kellett Childress, Boone C. Foster and Lydia Frye Foster. He is survived by his dad, Daniel "Danny" Childress; his mom, Nadine F. Holleman; his stepdad, Edward Ray Holleman; his sister, Martha Childress Lowery; his nephew, Austin (Emily) Lowery; his niece, Anna E. Lowery; and aunts, uncles, cousins, and lots of friends.
Daniel loved going on deep sea fishing trips with his buddies, discussing the Braves, and catching whatever sports events were playing at Carlisle's. Daniel never met a stranger, or a pizza he didn't like. He was a lover of sarcastic quotes and t-shirts, and we will forever miss his special brand of humor.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at Hope Baptist Tabernacle in Mocksville, North Carolina. The family will receive friends for one hour following the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be considered for Hope Baptist Tabernacle, 2408 U.S. Hwy 158, Mocksville, N.C. 27028, or to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude’s Place, Memphis, Tenn. 38105, or to American Cancer Society, P.O.
