Daniel enjoyed hunting, fishing, watching movies, listening to music, and playing his guitar.  However; he reveled in being called “Uncle DanDan” by his his beloved niece, Eleanor, and his family, who he loved immensely, always took priority in his life.

Told by friends that knew him, Daniel was someone who could light up any room, easily join any conversation, and make you laugh until tears rolled down your cheeks. He had a huge personality with an even bigger heart.  His genuine care and concern for others was always at the forefront, helping anyone whenever he could.  He was a jokester with a willingness to learn and a unique talent for making others feel good about themselves, and he will be missed dearly by all who knew him.

He is preceded in death by an infant brother, Wesley Graves; his grandparents, Fred and Doris Graves; great-grandparents, Joy and Erma Gardner and Raymond and Mildred Rackley; and one aunt, Melba Graves.

He leaves behind his parents, Ronnie and Tracy Gardner Graves of Crossett; and one sister, Rachel Garrett (Dylan); and niece, Eleanor Garrett all of Little Rock; along with his grandparents, Ronald and Becky Gardner of Crossett; and a host of cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.
