DANIEL JAGENDORF Obituary

JAGENDORF--Daniel Zachary Samuel, 49, of Brooklyn, NY, died in his sleep, unexpectedly, on January 20, 2014. The cause was sleep apnea. Born September 6, 1964 in Baltimore, MD, he was the son of Andre and Jean Jagendorf. He is survived by his parents; by his wife, Patricia; his sisters, Suzanne and Judith; five nieces, three nephews, three great-nieces and three great-nephews, and many friends. He was one of the initiators of the Fringe Festival, and ever since an adjudicator for plays to be performed. He designed and built scenery and props for many off-Broadway plays and operas. Working for the Spaeth Corp., he fabricated props and back-drops for the Christmas store windows of Macy's, Lord and Taylor, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Dear Mr and Mrs Jagendorf,

I am so very sorry to hear this news. I worked with Dan this past summer for the first time. He was a TD on two of my NYMF shows and he was just wonderful. Sweet, polite, smart and dedicated. I thought he was terrific and very much hoped to work with him again. My heart felt condolences to you and his loved ones.

To Daniel's family--

I'm so sorry to hear of his death. I did theater with Daniel at Oberlin and later in New York--I'm not sure how many shows, but a great many. He was an extremely talented man, a hard worker and an entertaining person to have around. We'll miss him.

I remember Dan. He was quiet, but polite. He would smile at you if you looked in his direction. He had braces then. I remember Dan. Rest in peace dear classmate. I hope that you considered me your friend. May God bless the family and provide His comfort and PEACE at this time.

Dan -

I did not know you well but, thanks to the Fringe, I got to work with you a bit this past Festival. You were a good person, and I am so glad I got to know you some.

RIP Becca

He was a remarkable man to work with, smart and calm and warm presence to be around. The world is smaller for having lost him. Fringe NYC/NYC/My world will never be the same.
