He leaves behind two Aunts, Marianne Darling and Maureen Geiger, along with many cousins who cared for him, and his special mentor Uncle Guy.

Daniel grew up in Raleigh, NC and had a passion for soccer and spending time with his best buddies. At the height of his career he was a poker dealer and was most proud of the time he spent working for the World Series of Poker.

Daniel leaves behind his daughter, Kathleen Stratton, who in his words was his light. Daniel loved to teach her how to cook and they spent countless hours watching old movies together.
