Daniel Farquharson Obituary
June 11, 1967 ~ August 22, 2022
Daniel Farquharson, 55, of East Haven, passed away unexpectedly on August 22, 2022 at home. He was born June 11, 1967 in New Haven to Carl and Barbara (Daniels) Farquharson. Daniel is survived by his mother, Barbara Farquharson of East Haven; along with two brothers, Scott Farquharson (Terri) of Los Angeles and Stuart Farquharson (Susan) of Meriden; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father, Carl Farquharson Jr.; sisters, Linda Hastings, Beth Ordway, Ann Farquharson; and two nephews, Scott Farquharson Jr. and Carl Farquharson III.
Dan graduated from Xavier High School in 1985, during which time he honed his bass guitar skills as he was part of a 3-boy band in North Brandford. He began studying literature at UMass Boston, but focused mostly on music with his 2 bandmates who were also attending Boston colleges. Their skills and popularity grew quickly playing in bars from Boston to New York City. Eventually, Dan joined Pale Ocean, a New Haven area band, whose first album became very popular, rising high on the college charts. He continued playing with various New Haven bands such as The Button Downs, The Bittersweet Vine, Hi-Fi Automatic and even did a Pale Ocean reunion in April 2022. Dan was also ever-present on Facebook, posting music from the Shed Sound Studio, while taking care of his mother for over 20 years. If Dan had a motto it would be, "Judge no one, love everyone."

Dear Barbara and Family,
I am so so sorry to hear about Daniel. I apologize for not being able to attend his service. He use to take walks by the beach and we would talk with a couple of neighbors. It was always a pleasure to talk with him. I know there are no words that can ease your pain but know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Heaven has gained a new Angel.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Anthony (Tony) Moscato

We shared a name and I was lucky enough to have him as a Facebook friend. I could tell by his posts that he had a kind soul. My condolences to family and friends of Daniel.
