Daniel Andrew Nickerson, born on June 4, 1958, in Richmond, VA, passed away on August 12, 2025, in Williamsburg, VA. He was 67 years old. He was preceded in death by his parents. Daniel, a devoted commercial fisherman and lover of the open sea, passed away peacefully after a long battle with lung issues. Daniel was a quiet man who preferred the solitude of the water but was always ready to share a good joke and a hearty laugh with those close to him.

When not at sea, Daniel could often be found strumming his guitar, his music as calming as the waves he so loved. His friends and family will remember him for his gentle nature, his unwavering work ethic, and his ability to bring joy to any room with his presence.

Daniel leaves behind a legacy of hard work, humor, and love for the sea. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, and his memory will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to call him a friend.

Rest in peace, Daniel. You will be missed.
