Terry Ray Daniel

1970—2022

Terry Ray “Jay” Daniel, 51, of Dunlow, W.Va., passed away March 7, 2022, at his home.

Born Dec. 31, 1970, he was the son of the late Terry Daniel Sr. and Brenda Daniel of Ashland.

In addition to his father, he is preceded in death by his son Anthony Daniel France and baby daughter Cassandra Shae Daniel.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his loving wife and caretaker of 13 years, Danielle Daniel; son Austin Ray Daniel (Hannah) of Lexington; and daughter Kacey Marie Newsome of Genoa, W.Va. He is also survived by daughter-in-law Caylin France, grandchildren Aubree May France and Carter Ray Daniel, in-laws Daniel and Maxine Perry, brother Brian Daniel, adopted mom Donna Colegrove, baby sister Denise Messer and special nice Hailey Messer.

Jay was a master of many trades and had 30-plus years in mining and heavy equipment operation. He was a retired heavy equipment operator for Beaver Excavating.

Jay was just a simple man who lived a simple life. He was a hard worker who loved his family and friends unconditionally. To know Jay was to love Jay. There will never be a better son, husband, father, pappy, brother, uncle or friend. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, and love leaves a memory no one can steal. Jay’s love he left behind will live in all who knew him.

All services for Jay were private and held at the Mullins Family Funeral Home of Warfield.
