"Daniel "Bo" Maynard was a beautiful soul, wonderful husband, proud father, & loyal friend who spent his life making others laugh"
Daniel Maynard was an amazing man. He was a loving husband to Stacey for 17 years, a dedicated father to Kyle, Emily, & Lauryn, and proud to be a recovering addict with over 14 years of sobriety! He told anyone who would listen about what he had overcome, he used his story to help people. He mentored others who were battling their own demons, and praised them & assisted them along in their journey. He loved his job, his co-workers and all of his many friends.
December 22, 2018 seemed like just an ordinary day. Daniel woke up happy to have his oldest son, Kyle, home for Christmas, & then spent the afternoon shopping with his wife, Stacey, for those last minute presents his daughters Lauryn & Emily just had to have! He hurried home, spent some time with his family, & took a quick nap before heading off to his night shift job, as Team Leader at Dewtex.
Shortly after beginning his shift, he gave a brief meeting, shared a joke with an associate, walked away laughing & collapsed. Daniel never regained consciousness. Medics worked tirelessly to save him, but he passed away shortly after at 9:44pm. He was a healthy, happy 40 year old man, who adored his family, and loved his life. To this day, we have no answers as to what happened to Daniel or why.
Daniel gave all of himself to his family, and had proudly chosen to be an organ donor ..He had just renewed his driver’s license in October, and when asked if he wanted to remain an organ donor, his response was “Well yeah! Just make sure I really don’t need em’ anymore”
To know him, was to love him. His humor was like no one else’s I’ve ever known. He had a heart as big as the sky, & he loved with every beat of it. Daniel was always trying to make people laugh, everywhere he went! He was the guy you’d find playing in the toy section at walmart, or dancing to the music in the grocery store. His children and I were the luckiest people in this world, to have him to love, and to love us back.
It’s hard to adequately describe this man in 3,000 words or less, it’s impossible really. The words don’t exist . He lives on in his children, his wife, & his friends….and now he lives on in his organ recipients.
We suffer daily, struggle trying to find answers for why this had to happen, & how we will ever survive the loss of our hero and provider, our protector, our friend…we will find comfort in our memories one day, and we will celebrate his selfless last gift of life to others. That was his wish, and none of us who knew him are surprised he’d do that. THAT is who Daniel was .We are forever proud of him. We love you Bo
