Daniel was born on August 14, 1955, in Ogdensburg, NY, the son of the late George and Rita LeMay Johnson. He graduated from Ogdensburg Free Academy in 1974 and went to work at A. Barton Hepburn Hospital. He married Barbara M. Ashlaw on September 24, 1977 at St. Raphael's Church with Rev. Philip Allen presiding. Daniel worked for Lupia Electric as a purchaser until their closure, continuing his role at Everything Electric in Potsdam until his recent illness.

He enjoyed woodworking, flying RC airplanes, and spending time at his grandchildren's sporting events. A lover of music-especially the Beatles-he also had a deep passion for baseball, cheering for the Boston Red Sox. In football, he was long a Dallas Cowboys supporter, though in recent years he also became a Buffalo Bills fan.

Donation in his memory can be made to the Heuvelton Volunteer Fire Department, 95 N. State St., Heuvelton, NY 13654.
