Donald “Gene” McDaniel, age 73, passed away Tuesday, November 9, 2021, in Columbia, Tennessee. Gene was born October 28, 1948, to the late J.D. McDaniel and Thelma McDaniel, in Tennessee.

Many knew Gene as a very kind person. He was very neighborly, could strike up a conversation or lend a helping hand to anyone passing by. He enjoyed woodworking and puzzles, anything to keep challenging his mind. He even made a table for his wife. Gene adored his wife, family, and his furry sidekick, Rusty, and always appreciated. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
