Richard Allen Daniels

Richard Allen Daniels, 74 of Mabscott entered the arms of Jesus on November 9, 2020 after a short illness. He was a member of Maynor Freewill Baptist Church where he served as a deacon for many years. Richard’s voice was a gift from God which he used to bless many over the years. He travelled all over southern WV and other states blessing many with his voice as he sang of his Savior. Richard was a coal miner by trade and worked at Itmann Mining as well as Beckley Coal. He also worked for Graham Ranch and UPS and owned his own cleaning business.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Bonnie Troupe, brother, Jimmy Troupe, mother-in-law, Louise Ward and father-in-law, Paul Ward.

Richard’s family was the light of his light. He told them every chance he got that family is the most important thing in life. He loved working outdoors and took pride in his flowers and the pond he built by hand.
