Wesley Newton Daniel

SPEARMAN — Wesley Newton Daniel died on June 22, 2012 in Spearman, Texas. He was 86 years old.

Wesley was born on Valentine’s Day, 1926 in Plainview, Texas to Rev. Newton S. Daniel and Thelma Linkenhoger Daniel. He had three younger brothers—Hugh B. (retired Methodist minister, now residing in Bushland, Texas), Sam (of Seward, Alaska) and Philip (of Friday Harbor, Washington).

Wesley graduated from Lefors, Texas High School in May, 1944. Two days later, he shipped out to boot camp. During World War II, he served his country in the Seabees, the construction battalion force of the U.S. Navy, in Guam and with the occupation forces in Japan. It was during this time that he made the decision to enter the ministry. In San Diego before he received his orders, he ran into a friend. Wesley remembered, “The moment I saw him in the chow line, the Lord told me to talk to him about Christ.” However, circumstances didn’t permit a private moment even though they spent the evening together and then his friend shipped out before they got together again. Some time later, Wesley received the news that this friend had been killed in a kamikaze attack—“That afternoon I laid on my bunk, so sorry I hadn’t followed God’s nudging. And this is when I made a deal with God—‘Lord, get me out of this mess and I’ll be that preacher you want me to be.’ I didn’t tell anyone of my decision until I made it home and could tell the folks. Since then, I tried to fulfill my part of the bargain I made with God.”

Upon returning to the States, Wesley entered McMurry University in Abilene. From there, he attended and graduated from Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. It was at McMurry that he met the love of his life, Mary Beth McCollough. They were married in Panhandle, Texas on December 23, 1949. Together they gave a lifetime of ministry to the United Methodist Church in the Northwest Texas Conference, serving in Becton-Lakeview, Union Bower, Quitaque, Lefors, Seagraves, Spearman, Littlefield and Plainview.

Wesley is predeceased by his parents and an infant son Jay Newton who died on December 15, 1952. In addition to his wife Beth and three brothers, Wesley is survived by his six daughters: Thel (and James Lemons of Freeburg, Illinois), Debi (and Craig Bryant of Houston, Texas), Lyn (and Joey Woolley of Spearman), Beckee Baker (of Spearman), Kim (and Haldon Messamore of Sudan, Texas) and Buzz (and Donnie Williamson of Lubbock, Texas). Survivors also include 11 grandchildren, their spouses, and 14 great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at First United Methodist Church, Spearman, Texas on Monday, June 25 at 2:00 p.m. Pastor Toni Bailey officiating.

Please send memorials to the Faith Promise Fund of First United Methodist Church, 407 S. Haney, Spearman, TX 79081.

The family would like to thank the community of Spearman and, in particular the members of Spearman’s Methodist Church.
