Wesley "Mick" McDaniel, 63, passed away on August 8, 2025, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Born on July 13, 1962, in Crawfordsville, Indiana, Mick lived a life marked by deep family connections and cherished moments. He was the beloved father of Myles McDaniel and Heather McDaniel. His legacy continues through his grandchildren: Zachary McDaniel, Austin Blue, and Shakira Blue. Mick also shared a close bond with his sisters, Janet Wendall and Kimberly (Gary) Lamb. He was a proud uncle to Jennifer O'Neal, Krystle Graham, Ivy Lamb, and Adam McDaniel-Wendall. His extended family includes five great-nieces, five great-nephews, and six great-great-nieces and nephews. Mick was preceded in death by his parents, Jack K. McDaniel Sr. and Margaret Joann McDaniel; his brother Jack K. McDaniel Jr.; his sister Barbara McDaniel; and his brother Matthew McDaniel. Among the many memories treasured by those who knew him was the time he spent fishing with his nephew Adam-moments that reflected Mick's appreciation for simple joys and meaningful connections. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire love across generations.
