Daniel Lee Shoe Jr.

Mr. Daniel Lee Shoe, Jr., 74, was born March 21, 1950 in Concord, NC to Daniel Lee Shoe Sr. and Helen Hyman Shoe. Danny was welcomed to Heaven back into their loving arms Friday, January 10, 2025, after a beautiful afternoon with his family in Kannapolis. He enjoyed the morning with his best friend and son Matt speaking on his love of his family. He was nourished and given the Life of Riley with five star service by his daughter Sarah for lunch and was blessed to watch the snow fall and watch his grandchildren run and play in the snow.

Danny lived a life with passion. A passion for nature, animals, music, Atlanta Braves and a complicated yet dedicated love for the Miami Dolphins. Family was at the core of who he was; a dedicated Son, Brother, Father and Pawpaw. His love was unquestionable, unshakeable and perservered through many challenges. He will be remembered and cherished through beautiful fall leaves painting the sky along the mountains he loved so much. His spirit will remain in all of us in our own ways that he passed on. Through how we profoundly care for and love each other, how we root for a team that makes us curse, how we take moments to embrace the beauty in the world around us and allow ourselves to find joy in the simple things. His legacy is truly a life of loving with every breath he took.

Danny’s life and memory will be cherished forever by his beloved family including two daughters, Sarah Arellano (Miguel) and Jessica Newton (Jerad), both of Kannapolis; two sons, Brian Shoe (Heather) of Salisbury and Matthew Shoe of China Grove; sister, Amy Clay (Trent) of Kannapolis; step-son, Chris Henry (Katie) of Bossier City, LA; former wife, Marsha Eisner Shoe of China Grove; two grandchildren, Ethan, Emilia; his two step grandchildren Cody and Elijah; and several family members and dear friends.

A memorial service is scheduled for 3:00 pm Friday, January 17, 2025, at Lady's Funeral Home Chapel in Kannapolis, NC. Rev. Ron Isabell will officiate. The family will receive friends from 2 to 2:45 pm Friday at Lady's Funeral Home.

The service will be streamed live at www.ladysfuneralhome.com/live.
