Dan O’Neal, 64, of Huntsville, Texas, passed away peacefully on August 13, 2025. Born on December 4, 1960, in Texas City, Dan spent most of his life in Dickinson, where he built a life centered on faith, family, and friendship.

A devoted Christian, Dan was known for his warm, joyful spirit and his ability to bring people together—often around a grill. He was an avid BBQer who loved sharing meals and stories with those he cared about. Whether through fellowship at church or casual backyard gatherings, Dan had a gift for making others feel welcome and appreciated.

Dan is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Jewell O’Neal; his children, Daniel O’Neal and wife Meghan, Jeromy O’Neal and wife Heather, and Rindy Garland and husband Russell; and his beloved grandchildren. Kellan O’Neal, Madi Garland, Caleb Garland, and Mackenzie Garland. He also leaves behind his brothers Frank O’Neal, III (Brenda), Jeff O’Neal (Judy), and Tim O’Neal and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Nelda O’Neal; grandparents, Lettie and William Arey, Clarinda and Frank O’Neal, Sr. and sister-in-law Gypsy O’Neal.

Dan will be remembered for his charismatic personality, his deep love for his family, and the joyful memories he helped create. His presence brought warmth to every room, and his legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
