George Daniel,

Jr.

Though small in stature; George Daniel Jr. (A.K.A Sonny, Sugar Bear, Poppa and Pops) had a huge personality and touched the heart of every person he met. With his radiant smile and positive energy George loved serving people through his music and businesses. He was always eager to serve his community whether he was putting you in the perfect car or making sure your floors were Surely Shined. George was married to his wife and best friend Sandra for thirty-four years, together they were the parents of seven children

Though his businesses were very important (Daniel Cash Out Auto Sales and Daniel Sure Shine Commercial Cleaning Services); George's first love was his music. He began his musical career during the early 70s where he helped organize a traveling band called "Creation". George and his band spent many years developing their talents in Philadelphia where they recorded, produced and released music. The song that they were most known for was Lover's Holiday. After giving his life to Christ and becoming a soldier of the Lord, he celebrated his victory through gospel music. During his gospel career with the help of other musically talented people he produced multiple albums. These projects include One God, N Time, I've Got the Victory, Thanks for the Change, and "Bear" Witness, George loved singing and speaking at Church. George was noted as keynote speaker at prison facilities and family gatherings at home and anywhere he could spread the word of God through music.

In his teenage years he was also a talented football player at Fairmont High school. He was a member of the class of 1969.

George loved his wife and family dearly. He had a special love for his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He truly enjoyed the company of the many people that came by the house or to the car lot to make a purchase, ask for advice, or chat and simply be in his presence. George always offered a word of hope and optimism, making one feel better than before.

George faithfully served his community until he unexpectedly became ill. He fought hard and never complained for about six months. On Sunday, March 16, 2025, he passed away peacefully at Eternal Hope Hospice.
