Daniel O’Neal McMaster, age 82 of Ozark, Missouri, passed away at Cox South Hospital on Friday, October 3, 2025. He was born on March 12, 1943, in Wynne, Arkansas, to Willie and Reba (Clements) McMaster.

In September of 1968, he moved to DeKalb, Illinois, where he met the love of his life, Carol Thompson, who was attending Aurora College at the time. The two were married on July 25, 1970, and shared 55 wonderful years together.
He worked for General Motors in Chicago and later relocated to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he continued his career with Geneva Motors as a dedicated factory worker. His strong work ethic and dependable nature earned him the respect of his colleagues and friends.

Daniel is also survived by his brothers Jerry McMaster, David McMaster, and Tommy McMaster, as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends.
