Interment followed in Newton Cemetery, in Delhi. Dano was born April 26, 1982. He left this world to be with his Lord, Jesus Christ, on February 20, 2002, after an automobile accident early that afternoon. He was a volunteer fireman at Ward 1 Fire District. He was attending Tallulah Vocational Technical School, where he was learning to weld. Like a true country boy, Dano loved to get the big buck, but not as much as he loved to fish. He probably fished every mudhole in Richland Parish. When he wasn’t fishing, he was playing his guitar. Dano had enough sheet music to fill a library. Daniel accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He was a member of Antioch Baptist Church, where his father was his pastor. He was a loving son, brother and friend. Dano never met a stranger. It didn’t matter to him what your status in life was. He loved you anyway/ If ever sad, Dano, could always cheer you up with a funny face or something else only Dano could do. He will be sorely missed. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Gillon Gilbert. Mr. Dearman is survived by his parents, Rev. Mac and Sharon Dearman, of Holly Ridge; his sister, Erin Lea Dearman, of Holly Ridge; maternal grandmother, Bertha Gilbert of Delhi; paternal grandparents, Clyde and Beth Dearman, of Delhi; aunts and uncles, Joe and Becky Dearman Zarro, of Rayville, Terri Dearman Meyer, of West Monroe, Larry and Mary Beth Arbour of West Monroe, Bro. Clyde and Renee Dearman of Monroe, Bro. Jay and Angel Dearman, of Belle Rose, Jason and Jenny Blake of Delhi, Mark and Naomi Woodman, of Houston, Texas; and numerous friends and loved ones.
