Daniels, Larry Lee (14 January 1947 - 15 December 2013) With Flag

Larry Lee Daniels, 66, of Wheaton, IL, died Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013, at his home after a short battle with brain cancer.

Larry was born in Marshfield Jan. 14, 1947. He was the son of Frederick and Luella (Ratsch) Daniels. He was raised in rural Neillsville and attended Wild Rose and Kurth country schools and graduated from Neillsville High School in 1965. Larry attended and graduated from UW-Eau Claire. He enlisted in the army and served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1971 with an honorable discharge. He moved to Illinois where he met and married Jacqueline Schrader in 1974. His salesmanship was amazing, and he worked for Standard Cash Register and O’Brien Brothers Inc.

Larry was a member of the MG car Club and loved his little MG midget and going on road trips. He also was fortunate enough to travel to many places and yet he always loved coming back to Wisconsin, especially the home farm. He remarked how quiet and peaceful it is when he visited. Larry doted on his nieces and nephews, and they will miss him dearly.

He was predeceased by his father, Frederick Daniels; mother, Luella (Ratsch) Daniels Bragg; stepfather, David Bragg; wife, Jacqueline (Schrader) Daniels; sister, Luann Erickson; and a nephew, Frederick Maurice Daniels.

Larry is survived by his special friend, Mary Hanson; his brother, Steven (Sue) Daniels; sisters, Susan (Evan) Erickson and Cheryl (David) Stedman; nieces, Tina (Chris) Mueller and Jennifer Erickson; nephews, Dale Erickson, Matthew Daniels, Justin (Jill) Erickson and Jason (Mandy) Erickson. He is further survived by many great- nieces and nephews and a special little angel, Ingrid.

A funeral service for Larry was held Saturday Dec. 21, 2013, at 1 p.m. at the Calvary Lutheran Church in Neillsville with visitation from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 20, 2013, at the Gesche Funeral Home and one hour prior to the service at the church. Pastor Judith Anderson-Bauer officiated. Burial was in the Grant Town Cemetery with full military honors.

Pallbearers were his nephews, Dale Erickson, Matthew Daniels, Justin Erickson, Jason Erickson and his special cousins Russell Ratsch and Gerald Marden. Honorary pallbearers were Ernest Erickson, Evan Erickson, David Stedman and Chris Mueller.
