A loving father, beloved son, brother and warrior, Daniel William LeFurgey, passed from this life on March 22, 2017, at San Antonio Military Medical Center. Daniel was born to William Charles LeFurgey and Patti Barker Garner on May 24, 1982, in Victoria, Texas. At Daniel’s passing, his number one priority was being the best father he could be to his son, Crue LeFurgey. Crue was his dad’s pride and joy! Along with his father, Bill (Cathy) LeFurgey of Yoakum, Texas, and his mother Patti (Tom) Garner of Canyon Lake, Texas, Daniel is survived by a sister Sabrina LeFurgey of Houston, Texas, and by his brothers Jeremy Garner of Tampa, Florida, Joshua (Lisa) Garner of London, England, and James LeFurgey of Yoakum, Texas. In addition to his immediate family, Daniel is survived by paternal and maternal aunts and uncles including Becky LeFurgey Wade, and Mike Barker and Charlie Barker. Daniel had a large extended family who he loved and held close to his heart. Daniel was pre-deceased by grandfathers Homer J. LeFurgey and Aaron F. Barker, his grandmothers, Martha Atkinson LeFurgey Taylor and Mary Harbour Barker, and by one brother, Michael LeFurgey. Most of Daniel’s childhood years were spent in the Victoria and Canyon Lake areas of Texas. Soon after Daniel graduated from high school, the events of 9/11/2001 took place and had a profound influence on his life’s path. Daniel always had a heart given to the service of others so it was natural for him to enlist into the US Army where he served with honors through three tours of duty in the Persian Gulf theatre. While in military service to his country, Daniel’s comrades became his brothers and they stood by him through fierce warfare and the challenges facing all veterans who return to civilian life. Daniel loved to spend time with his son watching movies, playing video games, and playing as super heroes. A graveside service with full military honors will be held to honor Daniel’s memory at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas, on Friday, April 14, 2017, at 1:45 PM. To those who want to honor Daniel, his wish would be that memorial gifts be dedicated to veteran’s assistance programs.
