1968 – 2016

VERO BEACH, Fla. — A beautiful heart ceased Thursday, Dec. 29, when Tom went to be with his Lord.

Tom was born in Bridgton, the son of Sheila Ryerson and the late Rodney Daniels. Tom was a graduate of Edward Little High School, Class of 1987. After high school, Tom studied culinary arts, which he used during his time in the U.S. Air Force.

After proudly serving his country, Tom returned to Auburn and worked in local restaurants, until relocating to Vero Beach, where he made many devoted friends.

Tom is survived by his mother of Auburn; a son, Dylan Daniels; a sister, Lisa Allen and her five children, Corey, Jennifer, Jordan, Gage and Emily; also a sister, Stacey Colburn and husband, Corey, of Fort Drum, N.Y., and their four sons, Colin, Colton, Camden and Carter.

A special heartfelt thank-you to Tom’s two “special angels,” Cheryl and Julie of Vero Beach.

Rest in peace, my precious son — you were so loved.
