Daniel Sharp Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gallagher Funeral Home and Crematory - Ball on Mar. 9, 2026.
Mr. Daniel Alvin Sharp, age 76, passed away peacefully at his residence in Pineville, Louisiana on March 8, 2026. He was born on May 29, 1949.

Funeral services for Daniel will be held Friday, March 13, 2026, at 11:00 am in the chapel Gallagher Funeral Home with Bro. Travis Austin officiating. A time of visitation will take place from 9:00 am until 11:00 am at the funeral home. Interment will take place following the service and be at Turley Creek Cemetery.

Daniel is preceded in death by his wife of 33 years, Joye Bishop Sharp; parents, Alvin Lawrence Sharp and Dorothy Stewart Sharp; and sisters, Pat Wilson and Tammy Sharp.

Those left to cherish his memory are his daughter, Nicole Sharp Pittman (Steven); six grandchildren, Alyssa (Shamus), Lexi (Keegan), Michael, Jeremy. Brayden, and Colby; one great grandchild, Reighlyn; and brother, Louis Sharp.

Daniel was a man who found joy in the simple and meaningful parts of life. An avid outdoorsman, he spent many hours hunting and fishing, enjoying the quiet beauty of nature. Whether sitting by the water with a fishing pole or heading into the woods before sunrise, those moments were where he felt most at home.

He was also known for his love of a good cup of coffee and for working with his hands. Daniel took pride in building and fixing things, always ready to take on a project. His creations may not have always been fancy, but they were built to last. As he often joked with a smile, "It may not look good, but it isn't going to fall apart."

Daniel will be remembered for his hard-working spirit, his love for the outdoors, and the quiet strength he showed in the way he lived his life. He leaves behind family and friends who will cherish the memories they shared with him. He will be deeply missed.
