Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Arthur Glen Daniel was born on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1941, to the late Grady F. Daniel and Bridie Mae Daniel in Crawfordville, Georgia. He joined Friendship Baptist Church in Crawfordville, Georgia at an early age and remained a life-long member.
Glen, as he was affectionately known, graduated from Murden High School in Crawfordville. He had perfect attendance from kindergarten to grade 12, which is a testament to his love for learning. In fact, he was still able to recite from memory the preamble to the Constitution.
After graduation, Glen relocated and began his career in Atlanta, Georgia. He worked for Chrysler Motor Company for 30 years. After his retirement, Glen pursued his dream of becoming a business owner and opened a club on Atlanta’s westside. He was dearly loved and well-known in that community as the man with the “big heart.” Glen was also known for helping those that were in need in the community. He would always bring a friend with him to family gatherings.
Several years later, Glen moved his mother and three younger siblings to Atlanta. He continued to provide generous support, which included making sure that all his younger siblings graduated high school and/or college. This gesture was no surprise to those that knew Glen, as he always went out of his way to help others. Glen was not only a mentor and role model for his children, but he was also admired by his nieces and nephews. He never missed a chance to offer advice to anyone he encountered, as his favorite saying was, “What you can do is….”
Glen truly touched so many lives and will be forever remembered for his unselfish acts of love, kindness, generosity, and most of all, his warm smile.
Glen leaves behind five children: Stanley Vaughn, Warren Glenn Gordon, Sophia Simpson-Hickman (Tony), Chrisangela Battle, and Joy Daniel; brothers, Isaac Daniel (Elattis) and Frank Daniel (Gayle); two sisters, Barbara D. McClain and Nakia Sims; and a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. He is preceded in death by two brothers, Grady F. Daniel, Jr. and John H. Daniel; and one sister, Mary B. Foster.
A memorial service will be held at 12:00 PM on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 2569 Tilson Road, Decatur, Georgia 30032. The Arthur family is being assisted by Georgia Cremation, 1086 Hwy 54 W, Fayetteville. Messages of condolence may be left at www.GeorgiaCremation.com.

Sophia, I know that you and your dad were close. It is so sad to lose a parent—no matter when it happens—and even as much as it’s a path many of us have to walk, knowing this doesn’t make it any easier. I trust that you will cherish the memories that you have made during both your lifetimes, and that his legacy will endure.

Dearest Sophia,
We want to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved Father. To know that he closed his eyes in death and is at rest safe and sound in Jehovah God’s perfect memory can bring you comforting thoughts knowing that he can bring him back to life again. (Job 14:13-15) It’s understandable that losing a loved one in death is very sad and the pain of heart very real, but always remember you have many friends and family to lean on when you’re feeling that way. More importantly, Jehovah God is always there for you day and night! (Psalm 65:2) We will continue to remember you in our thoughts and prayers! Also, please convey our condolences to your family as well. We love you.
