Kenneth Ray Daniel, 85, of Hensley, Arkansas was born to the late Thomas Remmel Daniel and Thelma Cole Daniel, on Friday, July 30, 1940, in Little Rock. He left this world on Sunday, August 3, 2025, surrounded by loved ones and is now in the presence of his Heavenly Father.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 51 years, Sheila Faye Rouse Daniel, and his brother, Allen Daniel.

He is survived by his daughters, Karen Sharp (Bob) and Kelly Lavey (Jeff), of Alexander, and his son, Brad Daniel (Sheila) of East End, as well as 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. He is also survived by one brother, Larry Daniel (Kathy) of Bryant, and a host of family and friends who loved him dearly.

Kenneth enjoyed hunting, fishing, and watching the Razorbacks, the PGA and the WWE. He especially treasured visits and calls from his grandkids and great grands. Kenneth was a sheet metal worker at Supreme Fixtures for over 40 years while also opening and operating Whiz Kids Daycare in Little Rock for 21 years with his wife. He proudly served in the United States Army Reserves from 1963 to 1969, receiving recognition as a Sharpshooter and Marksman.

I was so sad to learn of Kenneth's death. My mother and his mother were best friends and her death touched us all deeply. Kenneth and his brothers were friends with my brother and our families valued and respected one another. We all love the Daniel family and know they are hurting today. We also know he loved the Lord and is now with Him and his family who went before him. I can picture Thelma with her arms around her precious son, and Sheila embracing her husband. What a sweet reunion. I pray for the peace that passeth understanding for Larry, Kenneth's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
