Shelton Blane Daniel, beloved son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend, was born on October 8, 1997, to Scott and Shannon Daniel of Live Oak, Florida. After bravely living a full and meaningful life, Blane answered God's call and went home on June 4, surrounded by family and friends who loved him deeply.

Blane was undoubtedly welcomed into Heaven by his Papa Larry Daniel, Mammie Becky Daniel, and Papa Michael Ross, who surely greeted him with open arms. Family meant everything to Blane. He dearly loved his sister, Sierra Bozeman, and his brother-in-love, Christian James Bozeman, along with their wildlings, who brought endless joy to his life. His niece, Raven Sophia, had him wrapped around her tiny finger from the moment they met. He treasured every moment spent with her and adored his mischievous nephews, Ryker Slade and Rip Allen.

Blane also leaves behind his beloved JuJu Judy Bass; Uncle Drew and Aunt Jenny Ross; Uncle Keith and Aunt Dana Daniel; Uncle Eric and Aunt Trina Daniel; and his cousins Cody Daniel, Alex Ross, Haylee Ross, CaliAnn Daniel, Brock Daniel, and CaLinn Daniel.

Those who knew Blane knew his heart was full of love, laughter, and strength. He would never want anyone to be sad for long. Instead, he would want us to live the very best life we can, find peace in the moments that make us giggle, live fully, and love fiercely. His legacy is one of courage, joy, and unwavering devotion to the Lord and family.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Friday, June 12, at Daniels Funeral Home and Crematorium Chapel in Live Oak, Florida. As Blane was cremated, there will be no viewing. Visitation will be held from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m., with the service beginning at 2:00 p.m.

As we gather to celebrate the beautiful life Blane lived and the magnificent life he now enjoys in eternity, family and friends are encouraged to dress brightly in honor of his vibrant spirit.

Though our hearts ache in his absence, we take comfort in knowing that Blane's love, laughter, and light will remain with us always.

Please keep Blane's family and friends in your prayers and sign his online guestbook.
