Daniel Lee Vaden
February 08, 1979 – April 09, 2024
Daniel Lee Vaden,45, of Gates, TN passed away peacefully at his home and entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, after battling Glioblastoma cancer for 14 courageous months. Daniel was born February 8, 1979, in Dyersburg, TN. He is the son of William and Pat (Steelman) Vaden. He was married to his wife of ten years, Amanda Vaden, and they have three children: Cameron Luckett, Mackenzie Vaden, and Sophie Leigh Vaden. Preceding Daniel in death was his maternal grandparents, Syl and Dorothy Steelman, and his paternal grandparents, Hollis Sr., and Mary Lee Vaden. He was also preceded in death by a cousin, Jerry Vaden, that was like his brother. Daniel was a farmer and loved everything associated with farming. He was the happiest when driving a tractor or combine. Once he was diagnosed with cancer, he never complained and still farmed everyday until he could physically do no more. He was the hardest worker and my hero. Daniel would give you the shirt off his back and had a laugh that was so contagious. He had an unconditional love for his family and would never hesitate to go out of his way for others. His smile would light up the room. Daniel was a Christian and attended Archer's Chapel Church.
