Daniel Harrington Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Connelly Funeral Home of Essex - Baltimore on Dec. 22, 2025.
Daniel C. Harrington, 72, of Essex MD, passed away on December 19, 2025. Born on March 23,

1953 in Baltimore City, he was the loving father to Jennifer Harrington.

Dad was hard-working and dedicated. He spent 25 years working as a Baltimore City Fire

Department Mechanic at the Key Highway station.

Though Dad may have liked being the center of attention, he was always available to help a

fellow person in need. Dad was 28 Years clean and sober with the support of Over The Rainbow

and their members in Essex MD. Some of those members are here and sober because of

Daniel's mentoring. He was a man of many words and advice, and he left a lasting impact on

everyone who knew him.

Daniel loved a good meal, especially his ice cream and Burger King!

He is survived by many friends and extended family members who will miss him dearly.

A celebration of life will be held with an Over The Rainbow meeting in Essex MD at a later date

in 2026. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Alcoholics Anonymous at

contribution.aa.org

, a cause close to Dad's heart. If it weren't for the support of AA, we

wouldn't have had the time we had with Dad.

We find comfort in knowing that Dad's legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love

he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever. He was truly one of a kind!

First met Daniel in early 1976 when I was a Pump Operator (driver) at Engine 19 on
North Avenue. He was an excellent mechanic but more importantly, a genuinely good and kind man. Many years later, not knowing he was in AA, e showed up at my first Anniversary with a "Fire Fighters Only" parking sign. We spoke many times since then and I´m happy to know that he has gotten his dying wish; to die as he lived, sober. God Bless my friend. Stephan Fugate.
