Daniel Nance Obituary

Connell, Wash.
Bruce Lee Memorial Chapel
Daniel Todd Nance, beloved son of Paula Marie Fast and Daniel Martin Nance, passed away Thursday, June 9, 2005.
Daniel was born Monday, Dec. 15, 1986, in Pasco, Wash. He spent his childhood years in Mesa, Wash., and attended Mesa Elementary School, where he excelled in Little League and Grid Kids. As a fifth-grader, Daniel quarterbacked the Pasco Redskins to the league championship. His family moved to Connell in 1998, where he entered Connell Elementary School as a sixth-grader.
Daniel continued to excel in sports, and was a gifted leader on and off the field. He helped guide Connell High School to the state football semifinals in 2004, and was proud and joyful to share his team's winning season with his brother, Andrew, at his side. Daniel felt at home on the playing field, especially the baseball diamond.
Daniel knew he was lucky to have found the love of his life, Madie Poulson. He shared a special relationship with Madie and her family. George and Julie Poulson's door was always open to Daniel.
Daniel constantly had a smile on his face or had a joke to share with his friends and family. He was a Natural Helper, always there for someone in need, and organized countless neighborhood pickup sports games.
Daniel appreciated his family and always let them know how much he loved them.
He is survived by a wealth of friends and family: his parents, Dan and Paula of Connell; his loving brothers, Joshua Wright Beach of Seattle, Zachary Bjorn Beach (and Feleighsha) of Cowiche, Wash., and Lucas Fast Beach (and Stephanie Vigil) and Taylor Andrew Nance of Connell; his adoring sister, Haley Johanna Beach of Seattle; maternal grandparents, Irwin and Marilynn Fast of Pasco; paternal grandparents, Paul and Verrae Taylor of McNary, Ore., and Duane and Betty Nance of Elk Heights, Wash.; paternal great-grandmother, Louise Strebe of Kennewick; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, including special uncle, Shane Fast; and the nephews and nieces he loved: Tamera, Joseph, Tiana, Sarah, Skyler, Hayden and Jeremy.
Friends and family are invited to visit Daniel from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday, June 14, 2005, at Bruce Lee Memorial Chapel, 2804 W. Lewis St., in Pasco.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Wednesday, June 15, 2005, at Connell High School with graveside services to follow in Connell. Daniel will be laid to rest in the CHS football uniform he was so proud to wear, as he goes on to play on his field of dreams.

Daniel was a great nephew, I will miss him so very much. He always had a smile that catches you and you have to stop to look at him. Daniel always let us know how much he loved us, no matter how far apart we lived. His Uncles and Aunts travled to watch him and Andrew play football, it would be late by the time we got home, but we knew it was worth it. Daniel was so happy to see his Aunts and Uncles come from Oregon to see him play. His Uncle Joe and I will miss his smile and his hugs, but he will be in our hearts and in the special memories that we have of our nephew.

With Love,

Uncle Joe,Aunt Cheryl,and cousins

My personal remembrance of Daniel Todd Nance, I will always see Daniel as a leader, asside from his athletic abilities he was one of the best mannored young men I have had the privelege of knowing, (along with his brother Andrew) Great young men Paula! I only new Daniel for a short time, "I married his Cousin Carly" yet he made a good impression with me write off the bat. I believe with all my heart that Daniel is looking down on all of us and smiling, forever more. There is no way that God could overlook this Kid, a God that could is not a just God in my book, and God is just. We will always love you Daniel, and I hope heaven has all the beauty and is as great as we all hope that it is, until we meet again buddy.

love always Cousin Carly, Patrick and baby Keira.
