Alvin Daniel Jr. gained his heavenly wings on November 18, 2025. He was born on December 14, 1952, to the late Alvin and Grace Daniel. He was preceded in death by his sister, Barbara Spangler, and his brother, Dahl Daniel.
Alvin loved God, his country, and fishing on his boat in Urbanna. He is survived by his nephews, Todd (Elaine) Spangler and Chad Spangler; his niece, Stephanie Ruppert Reese (Dan); and his two great-nieces, Ella and Margaret Ruppert.
The family would like to thank his wonderful caretaker, Crystal Sawyer. A celebration of his life will be held on January 10, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Bristow-Faulkner Funeral Home in Saluda.
