Daniel never met a stranger – he enjoyed striking up a conversation to learn more about people he met. And if he was meeting someone for the first time locally, he was quick to "connect the dots" on how he went to school with their uncle or knew their grandparents. It brought him great joy to meet someone new. His good heart also purchased many meals for the hungry or gas for those passing through so they could make it home safely. He didn't have a lot, but was always sure those in need did not go without. Survivors include his wife, Bobbie Okruhlik of Schulenburg; two daughters, Michelle Reid and husband Stephen of Prosper, and Tammy Edwards and husband Shawn of Caldwell; two sons, Michael Okruhlik and wife Jolecelle of Katy, and Shannon Okruhlik and wife Kristy of LaVernia; and nine grandchildren.
