Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kevin B. Comeau Funeral Home on Nov. 28, 2025.
Daniel J. Wholley, 64, passes away on November 18, 2025 at his home in Bradford.

Daniel was born in Haverhill; he was the son of Edward and Patricia (Lynch) Wholley and was a graduate of Haverhill High School, Class of 1979. He worked for many years at the Gillette Company in North Andover, but his true passion was music. Daniel eventually moved out to southern California to pursue his music career, and was an accomplished musician and songwriter, even playing guitar as a session's musician for well known artists. Daniel is survived by his brothers Steven Wholley and his wife Debra, and Edward Wholley and his wife Susan, both of Haverhill; and extended family members including several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Kevin Wholley.

Arrangements are under the care of the Kevin B. Comeau Funeral Home, 486 Main Street, Haverhill. Please visit www.comeaufuneral.com or Comeau Funeral Home on Facebook.
