Daniel Lee St. Clair, 66, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, July 9th, in Justin, Texas.

Daniel was born in Fremont, Ohio on April 12th, 1959, to Robert and Betty St. Clair. He attended Fremont Ross High School, where he was a talented drummer in the school band and an accomplished member of the swim team.

Daniel relocated to Texas in 1977 when he joined the Air Force and was stationed in Wichita Falls. He remained in Texas, where he married the love of his life, Ginger Goad, on December 19th, 1984. He always said he had married the best girl in Texas. Together, they had a son, Daniel David, and two daughters, Patricia and Vanessa.

Daniel was a highly skilled auto body technician for most of his life, retiring in 2020. He was proud of his work and accomplishments, which included being featured in Hot Rod magazine for his restoration work and receiving numerous certificates for a job well done. There was nothing that Daniel couldn't fix.

After retiring, Daniel enjoyed many hobbies. His favorites were going on adventures with his wife, finding new restaurants they both loved, and having fun next to her at the casino. He spent his days gardening, watching Superhero movies (Iron Man being his favorite), and spending time with his three beloved dogs. You could always spot him anywhere in his favorite American flag cowboy hat, which he proudly told everyone his wife bought him.

Daniel made friends everywhere he went and talked to strangers as if he had known them for years. If you met him once, you would remember him forever. He was unforgettable and had a big personality. Daniel always believed in a better world, no matter how bad things got. He always knew that God was in control, and he shared that peace and certainty with the people around him.

He will be deeply missed by those who loved him.

Daniel is preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Betty St. Clair, sister Pamela Crowell, son Daniel David, son-in-law Timothy Brantley, and mother-in-law Patricia Goad.
