Evan E. Daniels, born January 12, 1961 in Bethlehem Pennsylvania to Jessie H Jones and Edward J Daniels, passed away on November 8, 2023 at the age of 62.
He lived in Bethlehem and graduated from Liberty High School in 1978. Afterwards he spent some time in the Air Force, until eventually going to Lincoln Technical Institute where he earned his degree in Computer Programming.
He trained in Martial Arts for nearly 40 years under Kyoshi David Nielson where he was awarded many trophies and honors as well as his Fourth degree black belt.
He always enjoyed hunting, camping, fishing and really anything outdoor. His love of the water (and his children/grandchildren) eventually brought him to Florida where he worked as a sales representative for Best Buy and genuinely LOVED his job.He also studied for and received his Fishing Captains License and enjoyed taking as many people out on the water as he could. If he wasn’t at work, he was on the water whether in his boat or kayak. He watched every sunset he could and has the pictures to prove it.
He is survived by his Son Evan E. Daniels Jr. and Daughter Crystal Daniels, (spouse) Eric Bradford and grandchildren Eric, Angalina, Daniel and Taylor Bradford; Sisters Michelle West and Jessie Greenawald with (husband) Dale Greenawald and many nieces, nephews and even some great nieces and nephews.
Services will be held on Sunday December 10th at 11:00am at Dobies Funeral Home in Holiday Florida and anyone who is able to attend afterwards, there will be a spreading of his ashes at his favorite spot out on the water.

I am sure that Evan is in the Arms of Jesus, our Lord and Savior! He was a blessing to his family, friends and all how knew him and his generous nature. He will be remembered always and greatly missed. God bless us all.

I hired Evan at Best Buy in Pennsylvania and can truly say he will be missed all around. He was such a kind and generous man. His wealth of knowledge was like no other about any topic. One thing that always stood out was his love for his family, he always talked about them. I know there is a huge void within the family now but just know he is still with you all everyday in spirit.

Oh my heart is broken to come to Evan’s Facebook, to let him know I’d be coming to Florida and my husband and I would love to see him, only to find that Evan has passed many months ago. It’s surreal. I honestly thought he just wasn’t posting anymore, like a lot of people do …fade away…. Oh Evan…what a beautiful soul you were here on earth and now the heavens have you back home.
I worked with Evan in Allentown PA, I always felt fortunate to have found him and enjoy his amazing spirit, smile and positivity every single day. No matter how stressful things were he was always right by my side joking and laughing. I’ll tell you my husband doesn’t like a lot of people but he really liked Evan.
They didn’t want me to hire Evan at first because he didn’t have “corporate” experience. But there was something so genuine and good about him so I did it anyway. Very quickly, EVERYONE loved Evan. He was everyone’s favorite!
Day in and day out, he worked long hours, he would never leave me behind and go home until we both finished everything we had to do.
UNTIL the day he had his baby boy. Then…he would bring that beautiful baby into the office and you could feel his heart explode just looking at him. The baby’s mom would come in the office and hang out there so he could be around them but still not leave me behind. You could feel the love across the room as he worked on repairing 100’s of computers and upgrading them because of the scary “Y2K” coming soon. We would play music on our computers for his Jr. He would stop and change his diaper and feed him and then get right back to the computers. He loved hard.
Evan would bring in food for all of us and brag about his fishing skills. Whatever fish or clams he caught, he’d by happy to share with anyone. He asked for nothing. He made 100’s of people smile daily in person and on the phone daily. He treated everyone with respect. He was a man’s man as well. He was so tough that he was not afraid to show his emotions and kind heart but he will bust a lip if needed.
The world was a better place because Evan was in it! I know he’s still smiling and fishing while watching over his kin from above. I’m glad he has children to continue his legacy.
Strong, Courageous and oh so KIND.
Love you my friend Evan. Fly with the Angels!
