Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Larry Edward Daniel graduated to Heaven on Sunday, April 14, 2019.
He said there were three major things that happened to him: He married the love of his life Kaye Parks,. Accepting Jesus as his personal savior and getting to go to Israel and walk where Jesus Walked.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years; sisters, Kay Wells (David), and Gayle Smerznak (John); brother, Brent Daniel (Donna); and several nieces and nephews.
He was a son of Ed and Sarah Belle Daniel of Denton who preceded him in death.
He was a member of New Hope Baptist Church of Salisbury where he served many years as a Deacon and Sunday School Teacher. He had a special gift to understand and share the Bible, he taught many classes on Bible Prophecy.
He raised registered black angus cows and treated them like most people threat their pets. His goal everyday was to tell someone about Jesus.
His verse was: I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
We would like to thank Mr. Glen Terry and the staff of Autumn Care for all your wonderful care.
I would also like to thank our faithful friends who have been there with us through this long journey: Max and Kathy Varnador, David and Becky Fine, Bill and Gail Smith, Robin and Debbie Albright, and David and Linda Coon.
Kaye will be home at The Gables 420 Spring Arbor Ave, Salisbury NC, 28146.
There will be a graduation party Monday, April 22, 2019 at 6:00 pm at Southside Baptist Church, Salisbury NC.
Carolina Cremation is honored to serve the Daniel family. Online condolences may be made at www.carolinacremation.com.

Larry was a good longtime friend and a great man.

“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” I Timothy 5:17
Larry Daniel was an elder that ruled well. He was in the vein of Deacons like Steven and Philip who physically worked for the good of the church while preaching and teaching word and doctrine. In the peak of his healthy days, he invested part of every day for the good of New Hope Baptist Church.
• Visiting and tending to the flock of God
• taking groceries to needy families
• working around the houses of members who needed help
• visiting the shut-in, (never wanting anyone to be out of sight and out of mind)
• Tuesday night visitation with his visitation partner James Fisher, nights that often ended with a stop for ice cream or milkshake
• teaching Sunday school, (not repeating lessons from a standardized plan but searching and delivering God’s word)
• doing a weekly bible study one night a week at the church (feeding the flock that wanted more nutrition than the average Sunday morning Christian)
• Working with Wayne Lingle to keep up the yard work around the church. In a day when we couldn’t afford good mowing equipment – keeping the old tractor running so that things looked nice
• Serving as a deacon and chairman of the deacons
• In unsettling times when the church was without a pastor, the members called on Larry multiple times to serve on pulpit committees and make recommendations for the next Senior Pastor
• The Bible was Larry’s rule of law which caused a conflict with Christians who value their opinion over the word of God
Larry Daniel invested his life wisely in the cause of Christ. He was a Christian that helped me weather some storms of life and be a better Christian because of his life.
