Billy L. McDaniel

Billy L. McDaniel, 71, passed away March 28, 2023, surrounded by his family. He was born February 26, 1952, in East Chicago, IN, to the late Hobert and Rosa Lee McDaniel. Billy retired from Alcoa where he served as an electrician and was also a member of the Local Steelworkers Union #104 where he served as a recording secretary for many years. He loved planes, sailing, and traveling domestically and abroad. Some of his favorite trips with his wife were to Italy, Hawaii, Budapest, and Alaska, as well as several cruises they went on together. Billy was known to be a “hippy at heart” and free spirited. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and found his true niche in becoming a grandfather.

In addition to his parents, Billy was preceded in death by his cousin and dear friend, Leonard Pate; and his infant sister, Billie Joe McDaniel.

He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Debbie McDaniel; his children, Deanna (Brian) Honeycutt and Jeremy Lancaster; his grandchildren, Hailey, Lilly, and Riley Lancaster; his sister, Patsy (Windell) Broadley; and several nieces and nephews.
