The Obituary

Daniel Fitzgerald Scurlock was the youngest of two children of the late Fred William Scurlock and the late Marjorie A. Scurlock. He was born on October 23, 1964, in Bronx, New York.

Daniel was a man full of life and always willing to help a family member or a friend in a time of need. He had a gift for repairing and restoring cars; his family meant the world to him. Daniel’s life came to a peaceful end after battling cancer. His final days were spent at home with his loving wife and family.

In 1978, Daniel attended Walter High School in the Bronx. He enjoyed playing basketball, tennis, and football in his early years. Daniel was baptized at Grace Gospel Church in the Bronx, where he served as a Junior Sunday School teacher.
