Deceased Name: Carl Stephen Daniels , 80
Carl Stephen Daniels , 80, passed away on May 27, 2014, at Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage, Alaska, surrounded by his family.
Carl was born on Aug. 23, 1933, to Herbert and Katherine (Mayer) Daniels in Petoskey, Mich. After high school, he went on to serve his country in the U.S. Army Airborne during the Korean War.
After his service, he married Rae Ann Matthews on Feb. 11, 1956. They had seven children.
He worked as a steeple jack for Hunt Roofing, making him a very fearless man.
In 1972, Carl went to Alaska to help build the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline. After the passing of his beloved wife, Rae Ann, in 1978, he returned to Alaska and worked construction before starting his own business, Daniels and Son's Roofing. After retiring, Carl became a resident of Palmer where he spent the rest of his days with his family whom he loved.
Carl spent his time in Alaska fishing, hunting and enjoying the outdoors. He loved riding his lawnmower and making his yard look better than his neighbor's.
Carl's favorite pastime was to spend time with family and play with his grandchildren. Our father will forever be missed. He was a kind, fun-loving man who until his last days took care of us even as we grew into adulthood. He was our teacher, provider, and, most of all, our friend. We love you, Dad, and you will be forever in our hearts.
Carl is survived by his children, Katherine Daniels , Stephen and Dawn Daniels , Allan and Sheri Daniels , Tamara and Alan Duntley, Michael and Andrea Daniels , Scott and Vanessa Daniels , Raymond and Michelle Daniels ; and his 13 grandchildrenn, Karl, Chastity, Richard, Tylor, Jessica, Steven, Logan, Raymond, Travis-Ray, Kaile, Nicholas, Matthew and Landon; and five great-grandchildren, Jason, Hannah, Trevor, Laurna and Winter, with a sixth expected in November.

Charles “Chuck” Daniel, 79 of Petoskey, died March 7, 2019.

Chuck was born on June 9, 1939 in Petoskey, the son of Herbert and Katherine (Mayer) Daniel and graduated from St. Francis High School with the class of 1959.

On June 20, 1959, Chuck married the love of his life and the woman he was going to spend almost 60 years with, the former Joan Zyks and the two made their home in Petoskey. Chuck went to work as a Roofer, most notably with Hunts Roofing. While roofing, he and his brother Carl took their most notable coffee break, on top of the steeple at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, one on each side of the cross. He later went to work at Northern Michigan Hospital, now McLaren Northern Michigan, where he worked in the X-Ray Dept for 24 years before formally retiring.

Chuck was the epitome of a hard worker, but he was a true gentle man and was always there to give a lending hand to those in need. He loved tending to his garden and was an avid hunter.

He is survived by his wife, Joan; 4 children, Julie (Ron) Rinock, Jacalyn (Allan) Burke, Peter Daniel, and Patrick (Cara) Daniel; 3 grandchildren, Robbie George, Michelle Burke, and Oliva Rinock; 5 siblings, Maggie Skiver, Thomas (Ruth) Daniels, Mary (Bud) Riley, Edna (Craig) Shaw, and Norman (Emily) Daniel; and by many nieces and nephews.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents and by a brother, Carl (Raeann) Daniels.

A funeral Mass, celebrating Chuck’s life will be held on Tuesday, March 12th at 10:30am at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. The family will receive friends at the church from 9:30am until the time of service.

Arrangements are in the care of the Stone Funeral Home of Petoskey.

Thomas "Tommy" Douglas Daniels

Longtime Petoskey resident "Tommy" Daniels calmly breathed into Heaven after a long battle with Alzheimer's and diabetes February 11, 2020 at The Villa in Petoskey with his beloved wife of 60 years, Ruth, and their daughter, Veronica, both at his sides.

January 24, 1960 Tommy married Ruth "Ruthie" Kelly at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Nyack, New York. They moved to Petoskey in 1966, shortly after their daughter was born. He LOVED gardening, fishing, baseball, football, morel mushroom hunting (always teasing his daughter about how many more he found than her!), and bowling (he won many awards and trophies). He adored his dogs and "Snowball" his cat!

Thomas is survived by his wife Ruth of Petoskey and daughter Veronica Daniels of Grand Rapids, Michigan; sisters Magdalen Skiver of Cedas, Michigan, Edna (Craig) Shaw and Mary ("Bud") Riley of Petoskey, brother Norman (Emily) of Petoskey, several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, "adopted" granddaughter Deana (Andrew) Freeman, and grandson Atom Farley.

Mary Alice Riley, 80 of Petoskey, Michigan, passed away on April 1, 2023 surrounded by her family.

Daughter of Herbert and Katherine (Mayer) Daniel, Mary was born on April 6, 1942 in Petoskey. She grew up on her family’s farm in Petoskey and graduated from St. Francis High School in 1960. Mary attended St. Mary School of Technology in Grand Rapids, Michigan to become a registered radiology technician.

On June 9, 1962, she married Louis “Bud” Riley in Petoskey at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. They were best friends and were rarely apart during their 60 wonderful years together.

Following their wedding, Mary and Bud moved to Danvers, Massachusetts while Bud was stationed at Danvers Army Base. Mary began her career as a radiology technician at the Danvers Hospital during this time. They returned to Flint, Michigan in 1964 so Bud could attend barber school while Mary continued her career. They then moved to Traverse City for a few years before returning to their hometown in 1974 where Mary worked in radiology at Northern Michigan Hospital for over 40 years.

Mary loved to play cards. It was not uncommon for her to play a heated game of “Peanuts” until 3:00 AM with her family, especially her sisters. She also loved sewing, gardening, and tending to her flower beds. She adored her family, especially her grandchildren. She spent many hours in the yard and on the swing set with them when they were young, and never missed a sporting event during their school years.

Mary was a woman of deep faith that was devoted to her family and will be missed by many. In Bud’s words, “she was a sweetheart”.

Mary was a member of the St. Francis Xavier Church, volunteered at Brother Dan’s Food Pantry and as a 4-H Leader for many years.

She is survived by her husband Louis “Bud” Riley; her children Mark Riley of Portland, Oregon and Susan (Brian) Sanderson of Petoskey, Michigan; her grandchildren Steven (Danielle) Behan of New Hudson, Michigan and Taylor (Brandon) Carson of Petoskey; her great-granddaughter Kendall Behan; her siblings Magdalen Skiver, Edna (Craig) Shaw, and Norm (Emily) Daniel; her sisters-in-law Joan Daniel and Ruth Daniel; and many nieces and nephews.

Mary is preceded in death by her parents Herbert and Katherine Daniel; and her brothers Carl Daniel, Charles Daniel, and Tom Daniel.

Those wishing to make a charitable donation in Mary’s memory are asked to consider Brother Dan’s Food Pantry.

A memorial mass for Mary will be officiated by Father Greg McCallum on Thursday, April 6, 2023 at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church at 11:30 AM. A visitation will begin at 10:30 AM.
