On Sunday, March 21, 2021, Peter Daniel Needham left this earth to be with his Heavenly Father. He was born in Dallas on August 21 1953, The son of John Newton Needham Jr and Ida Margaret (Powers) Needham. He was preceded in death by both parents and two brothers, David Newton Needham and Timothy John Needham Sr.
He is survived by one brother Micheal Joseph Needham and many nieces, nephews, great co-workers and friends.
Dan loved to fish, play dominoes and baked cookies to share. He loved animals of all kinds, even took in a stray dog that was wounded and nursing him back to health. That dog is still in the family and he would ask about him often. Dan had many animals in his life growing up as a kid and just loved nature. Even in his later years he found value in things that we take for granted everyday. He would stop and look at the clouds and if he saw something in those cloud he would take pictures with his old flip phone. He collected things that brought him joy like rocks and tons of pecans. If you got a bag of peeled pecans from Dan/Pete that was his way of showing his love and found such joy in giving. He never met a stranger and was always willing to help anyone along his path in life. His kind spirit, will be left in our hearts to carry with us. So, as you go along your path in life, Remember Dan/Pete and don’t forget to stop and enjoy the little things and find joy in it.
