Dakota Andrew Daniels, our angel baby was escorted back to Heaven in the arms of angels to live with Jesus on January 16, 2012 at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, WV.
Born on January 6, 2012 at Raleigh General Hospital, Dakota weighed 6 lbs, 11.8 oz. and was 20 1/4 inches long. Dakota was born with multiple heart defects; he had made over 400 and countless more Facebook friends in his short life who offered prayers and support constantly.
Dakota is survived by his parents, Heather Nicole Ewing and Kelly Jordan Daniels of Glen Daniel, WV; his grandparents, Jerry and Mary Daniels both of Glen Daniel, WV and his grandfather, Brian Keith Belcher of Oak Hill, WV; great-grandparents Billy and Ann Farruggla of Beckley, WV and James and Betty Daniels of Glen Daniel, WV. Dakota also has two loving uncles, Derek and Tyler Daniels; many aunts, uncles, and cousins who will really miss their beloved "angel baby".
A celebration of Dakota's life will be held 2:00PM Friday, January 20, 2012 at Blue Ridge Funeral Home with Rev. Hibbard Hatfield officiating assisted by Rev. Jeff Perdue. Following the services, Dakota will be laid to rest at Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens, Beckley.
Steve Farruggia, Mark Farruggia, Jared Russ, and Matt Mills will be serving as pallbearers.
Friends may gather with the family from 12:00PM until time of the service Friday at the funeral home.
