Daniel Ray Sanders Sr. of Stonewall, LA passed away following a brief illness on Saturday August 21, 2021 Just mere days after the passing of his beloved wife of 41 years, Theresa Marie Sanders. He was born on January 20, 1960 in San Antonio, TX to Velma and Taylor Wallace Sanders Jr.

Daniel was involved in many recreational activities over the years, from frisbee golf, to dart leagues, and most recently fishing. Never one to quit, as he matured, his capacity as a husband, father, brother, uncle, grand-father, and friend came to become fully developed and cherished.

Daniel was preceded in death by his beloved wife Theresa, his parents Velma and Taylor Wallace Sanders Jr., his brothers Taylor Wallace “Sonny” Sanders III, Johnny Mathew Sanders, Jaime Don Sanders, and sister Virginia Lee “Jenny” Sanders. He is survived by his son Daniel Ray Sanders Jr., step-son Coy E. Fuqua, step-daughter Racheal Marie Fuqua Lewis, and their spouses, and five siblings: Linda Sanders Leal, Michael William Sanders, Elizabeth Jean “Lisa” Sanders, Mark Steven Sanders, and Lorraine Kay sanders Adams, and their respected spouses, , as well as five grandchildren: Andrew and Evan Pilcher, Kayla Marie Fuqua, Daniel “Kane” Lewis, and Maria Sanders, one great-grandchild: Dreyton Pilcher, and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend both their praise and deep thanks to the staff of Willis-Knighton Pierremont in Shreveport for their kind care during his last days.

A memorial service will be held in Daniel and Theresa’s honor at a later date.
