Daniel married Ward Pierson, his longtime partner, on January 11, 2015.

A hobby became more when he and Ward began to work with tractor pulls in Lynden and soon became a part of the Puget Sound Antique Tractor and Machinery Association and later North West Truck Pulls. Daniel was most often found on the track controlling the trucks and tractors as a flagger, but he would pitch in and help wherever needed.

Daniel had a soft heart that was connected to his smile, he provided fun and wisdom for his nephews and parents alike. He would help anyone and from his

earliest years was known for bringing home “strays” and caring for those in need.

He loved being in the mountains or around usually in, any body of water large or small, but also liked to be caught up in a good fantasy book or a puzzle.

two brothers, Adam (Elisa) of Seattle, and Mitchell Huntley of Tacoma; two nephews, Maxwell and Thomas Huntley of Snohomish and the mother of Thomas, Amy Otterson of Edmonds.
