Daniel Ray Patton, 34, passed from this life on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of adventure, craftsmanship, and profound kindness.

Visitation: 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 1, 2025, at Biggers Funeral Home, 6100 Azle Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas 76135.

Born at home in Fort Worth, Texas on September 24, 1990, Daniel lived a life rich in experience and steeped in love.

A graduate of Boswell High School in 2009, Daniel's hard work and skill set took him far and wide—from the oilfields of Pennsylvania and North Dakota to the dusty roads of New Mexico and the heart of Texas. Between 2010 and 2020, he served as an oilfield supervisor before spending the past five years as a superintendent at Conatser Site Services.

Daniel was also a proud co-owner of Southern Smoke Diesel LLC (SSD) drawing diesel enthusiasts from across the nation. He was a man of many talents in diesels, construction, plumbing, electrical work, landscaping and most of all being a loyal friend who sought truth and peace.

More than just his talents, Daniel brought joy to those around him. Whether hitting a softball, navigating trails on four-wheelers, or hiking under wide-open skies, he lived with a fearless enthusiasm. He was a member of The Creek Church in Fort Worth and grew up surrounded by faith at Fullness in Christ Church.

Daniel will be remembered for his gentle, kind, and fun spirit. He played hard and loved even more deeply—a rare gift in today's world.

He was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Patton; grandmother, Donna Patton; grandparents, Theodore and Naomi Coleman; and aunt, Grace Bursich.

Daniel is survived by his devoted mother, Elizabeth Patton; sister, Rebekah Patton; his Pawpaw, Glen Patton; aunt, Rusty Rogers and Christy Perry; uncles, Stephen Coleman and Theodore Coleman Jr.; his beloved dog, Hank; and numerous cousins, each touched by his warmth and laughter.

Daniel's memory will live on in every life he touched and in every place, he left his mark. Those who knew him will carry forward his legacy of passion, kindness, and heart.
