Daniel Joseph Hass

Daniel Joseph Hass, a cherished son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend passed away on March 16, 2024, in Grosse Pointe Park. Daniel was born in Detroit, Michigan to his loving parents Daniel and Vickie Hass (nee: Corley). He was a beacon of joy and love to all who knew him.
Educated and accomplished, Daniel earned his Bachelor's degree and carried his spirit of determination and excellence into his professional life. His love for cooking was more than a hobby; it was his way of nurturing and bringing people together. Daniel was known for his ability to transform simple ingredients into dishes that delighted the senses and warmed the heart. His culinary creations were a staple at family gatherings and a testament to his love for those around him.
A man of many interests, Daniel's love for life was evident in his enthusiasm for music and the outdoors. His fingers danced across piano keys as gracefully as he navigated the trails and shores he so loved to explore. Daniel's voice was a familiar comfort, often uplifting spirits with impromptu performances by the Lake Michigan campfire or through the tunes he shared on his social platforms. His love for singing was matched only by his love for the natural beauty of places like Cathead Bay in Northern Michigan, Dauphin Island in Alabama, and Anna Maria Island in Florida. The Northport and Surfside communities held a special place in his heart, as they were the backdrop for many cherished memories. Daniel's legacy is one of joy, companionship, and a zest for life that was truly contagious.
Daniel is the loving son of Daniel and Vickie and the beloved brother of Audrey and Madeline. He is the proud uncle of Henry and the cherished grandson of Barbara and Leo Hass and Charlotte Corley. Daniel is also survived by his aunts and uncles, Mark Hass, Sharon Hass (Dave), Kim (Joe) Thames, and Tim Corley (Susan), along with numerous cousins and friends who were touched by his generous spirit across the country. Daniel is preceded in death by his grandfather Jerry Corley, his cousin Emily Corley, and his aunt Cyndi Hass.
Daniel's love for his parents and the bond he shared with his sisters, Audrey and Madeline, was one of unconditional support and camaraderie, and the joy of being an uncle to Henry Corley Hass was a role he cherished deeply.
As we bid farewell to Daniel, we take solace in the countless moments of happiness he imparted on all of us. His laughter, his songs, and his culinary masterpieces will continue to resonate in our hearts and minds. Daniel Joseph Hass lived a life that exemplified the beauty of embracing each day with open arms and an open heart. He will be profoundly missed, yet his melody will forever echo in the lives of those he loved and left behind.
