Lucius Forbes Daniels

Lucius Forbes Daniels of Easton, MD went to be with his Lord and savior Jesus Christ on March 2, 2025, surrounded by the greatest joy of his life, his family. Luke was born April 21, 1933 in Painter, VA to Lola Cobb Daniels and William Forbes Daniels. He was an accomplished Eagle Scout, University of MD graduate with a degree in Agriculture and second in his graduating ROTC class. Luke loved to play basketball and was a terrific jitter bug dancer. Luke was a navigator in the Air Force reaching the rank of Captain. He married the love of his life, Deanna (Duvall) Daniels in 1956 and they had three children, April, Tom and Tim. They moved frequently until settling in Easton, MD at their forever home. After the Air Force, Luke found his interest and determination for business in the poultry world where he worked full time until he was 80, retiring from Amick Farms in 2013. Luke was a human calculator and crunching numbers was his passion. He used this passion to start Daniels Vending, a family run business and grew it to cover the entire Delmarva peninsula for over 30 years. Luke became a born-again Christian in 1970 and for the next 55 years, he and Deanna shared the power of Christian fellowship with those they met. Despite all of Luke’s accomplishments, family was his biggest source of joy. Luke loved nothing more than to be near his beloved wife and children, sharing in their stories and talking about his grandchildren and great-grandchildren who lovingly called him “Papa”. He is survived and loved by his spouse Deanna of almost 70 years. They found joy in living at their home, Dove’s Landing watching the wildlife and gardens. He will be deeply missed by children April & Michael Walter, Tom & Patti Daniels, Tim & Debbie Daniels, 16 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Luke was the finest of men, touching the lives of so many for the better. We will try to follow the examples he set. Luke was a magnetic force to all that encountered him. We were drawn in by his kind eyes and thoughtful questions. Luke was a man of faith, integrity and serious grit. His impact on the lives of those he touched will never fade. We will fill our hearts and spirits with pictures of Luke, strong and whole again, talking and smiling big with his Lord and savior, Jesus. A memorial service will be held at St. Mark's United Methodist Church on March 29th at 11 AM, 100 Peachblossom Rd, Easton, MD. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Samaritans Purse Humanitarian Aid Organization.
