Daniel Frank Ward, a man of diverse interests, found joy in fishing, golf, barbecuing, hunting, and tending to his yard. He was a lover of classic cars. He proudly graduated from Affton High School.
The United States Marine Corps shaped him, instilling resilience, honor, and unwavering loyalty. With pride, he donned the uniform, standing tall as a guardian of freedom.
Daniel's memory echoes in the revving engines of classic cars, and his spirit dances on sun-dappled fairways. He leaves behind a void in our hearts, yet his vibrant life reminds us to savor every moment, casting lines into the waters of existence.
Rest in peace, Daniel. Semper Fidelis.
