Daniel Earl Six Sr.

Daniel Earl Six, Sr., born March 31, 1953, age 72, of Buffalo Township in Washington County, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at St. Clair Hospital in Mt. Lebanon, PA.

Born in Washington, PA, he was the son of the late Edwin Ray Six, Jr. and H. Jean (Main) Six.

Daniel graduated from Meadowbrook High School in Byesville, Ohio, and later attended both college and Auto Body School, where he discovered a lifelong talent for painting and restoring automobiles. He spent the majority of his career in the Oil and Gas industry as a derrick hand, working across Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.

A proud U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran, Daniel served honorably as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division. Adventurous by nature, he treasured his days jumping out of planes, serving his country, driving fast cars, and riding motorcycles.

Above all else, Daniel loved God and put Him first in every decision. The legacy he leaves is one deeply rooted in faith, family, and unconditional love—a legacy carried forward by his wife, children and grandchildren.

On December 9, 1972, Daniel married the love of his life, Wanda (McDonough) Six, who survives him. The two met in the 5th grade, and together they built a life defined by devotion, resilience, and unwavering love. Daniel is also survived by their children, Daniel Earl Six, Jr. - his son was his best friend - and daughter Melissa (Todd Sefsick) Six.

He is further survived by his brothers Robert (Jodie) Six and Fred Six; stepbrothers Walter Six and Harry (Dawn) Six; his sister Michele (William) Lisenby; and his cherished grandchildren, Daniel Michael Six and Ty Sefsick.

In addition to his parents, Daniel is predeceased by his brother, Edwin Ray Six III.

Daniel leaves behind many dearly loved nieces and nephews, along with countless friends and extended family members who will forever remember his kindness, humor, and steadfast faith.

Services will be private for Daniel’s beloved family in accordance with his wishes. He will be laid to rest with full military honors at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies, with rites rendered by the Edwin Scott Linton American Legion Post 175.
