It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Daniel McNicol, beloved son, brother and uncle, who left us on August 4, 2025, at the age of 48. Born on April 10, 1977. Dan was a cherished member of his family and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Patricia and Ross McNicol and his nephew Anthony McNicol. He leaves behind a loving family that includes his brother Ross McNicol, sister Melinda McNicol, and sister-in-law Lori McNicol. He was a devoted uncle to his nieces and nephews, including Melisa Morceri, Shawnna Mardlin, Natalia McNicol, Tyler Taperek, Kym Shaffer, Austin Shaffer, Jaycee Shaffer and a great uncle to Weston Moceri, each of whom held a special place in his heart.

Throughout his life, Dan was known for his kindness, humor, and unwavering support for his family. He brought joy and laughter to every gathering, and his spirit will live on in the memories cherished by those he loved.

Dan McNicol may have left this world, but his legacy of love will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends. Rest in peace, dear Daniel.
