Daniel Collins

Mr. Daniel Collins, affectionately known as “Stinky” to all of his family and friends was born in Varnville, South Carolina on September 8, 1957 to the late Richard and Anna Collins.
He was educated in the public schools of Hampton County. At an early age, Daniel joined Samaritan Missionary Baptist Church in Varnville, South Carolina. He was employed by the Town of Varnville for many years and later with the water company until his illness.
Daniel was definitely a people person. Everyone who knew him loved him; that laugh, smile and that voice. He could make you laugh even if you were having a bad day, with those jokes. He loved to party and could dance all night. His famous line was, “I’ll be right back!” Stinky will always be in our hearts forever.
He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Byron Booker; stepson, Terrance Fields; sisters, Betty Davis and Marlene Collins; brothers, Charlie Cohen, Charles Cohen, and Charles Collins.
Our Heavenly Father called Daniel to rest from this life, on Friday, September 1, 2023 at Roper Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina.
