Daniel Hugh Essary

Daniel Hugh Essary, age 69, born on September 18, 1956, in Blackwell, OK, and resident of Conway Springs, Kansas, passed away on December 21, 2025. Daniel, a skilled sheet metal worker, dedicated his working life to the oil field industry where his diligence and dedication were valued by all who worked alongside him. Beyond the rigors of his profession, he found joy in the game of pool, often participating in tournaments and earning numerous trophies, testament to his skill and love for the game. Daniel was raised in the Assembly of God church, where he found spiritual solace and community.
Daniel is survived by his loving mother, Norma Essary, two daughters, and a son, who all cherish their memories with him. He was preceded in death by his father, David Essary, and his sister, Kimberly Garcia. His family and friends will remember him as a loving individual who could always lighten the mood with his sense of humor.
A private family graveside service will take place at a later date.
