Daniel Elwood Obituary

On September 11, 2016, Heaven welcomed home Daniel Alexander David Elwood. Known as Buddy to family, and DJ Whoadie to those he entertained with his music, Daniel was born on June 28, 1991 to Gerald and Lynette Elwood. He is the grandson of the late David and Cemyrtle Jordan; and Antoinette Lewis and the late Gerald A Elwood, Sr. Beloved husband of Victoria Price Elwood and loving father to Josiah Adrien and Harmony Reign. He is also survived by his sister, Monique (Jamal) Brown, brother Rev. Dr. Anton G. Elwood (Shawana), and many loving nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends that will miss him dearly. A native of New Orleans and raised in Slidell, Daniel graduated from Slidell High School and attended Tallahassee Community College and Delgado Community College. Daniel was a member of Greater Northshore Full Gospel Church but grew up at Rosedale Missionary Baptist Church in New Orleans. He was employed by Sonic Drive-In. However, his true passion was as a DJ at a number of special events around Louisiana. Daniel was a true entertainer at heart and provided endless laughter and joy to anyone and everyone in his presence. He was an avid sports fan and convinced he was a great basketball player in his youth. He was a good cook, hard worker, wonderful husband, devoted father, loving son, and an amazing little brother. Relatives, friends, family, employees of Sonic Drive-In, are invited to attend the Funeral Service at Greater Northshore Full Gospel Church, 840 Voters Rd., Slidell, on Friday, September 16, 2016 for 11:00 A.M. Visitation will begin at 10:00 A.M. Interment will follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Slidell, LA. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be sent to Daniel's Legacy Fund to assist in the support of Josiah and Harmony. Online guestbook: www.anewtraditionbegins.com (504) 282-0600.

We miss you Daniel....I have seen your two heartbeats, and they are truly adorable. They love Amil so much. Yes, your namesake.... your honorary Godson who shares your name as his middle name. You'd be head over heels for our little boy. Continue to get your rest and know that you are loved and missed beyond measure.

We lived next door to the Elwoods before Katrina and saw Daniel grow up before our eyes. He would ride his little bike up and down the block and we said watch out when he can reach our doorbell. He was a kid full of life and joy and curiosity and we treasured him. It is obvious that he retained those qualities throughout his life as he matured and became a head of household himself. Gerald, Lynette,Monique, and Anton we can still hear him bouncing that basketball. Stay strong and be grateful that he touched your life.I know that we are.

Lynette and G,

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal. When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know. May the Lord bless and comfort your family during this time of grief. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I've known Daniel for years as he was my nephew's, Alton Turner, best friend. We couldn't help but think of Daniel as a part of the family because he was so sweet, kind and lovable. I was deeply saddened to hear that we lost him but he will forever remain in our hearts and minds. Victoria you have my most sincere and my deepest condolences. I will keep your family in my prayers and will ask GOD to keep you comforted and strengthened during this heartbreaking time.

When you are down to nothing, God is up to something. The faithful see the invisible, believe the incredible and then receive the impossible. I know our family believe this and we will be victorious and give God the glory. T-Cindy and the Davis & Marshall Family
