He and his wife, Paula, lost their youngest of three daughters, Danielle, and the baby that she was carrying, Scarlett, to an automobile accident in 1996. Not a day goes by that Daniel and Paula do not feel the pain of their tremendous loss.
In spite of the worst pain a parent could endure, God has blessed Daniel in so many ways. He sees God's hand in his life, everywhere.
How God has touched Daniel since the deaths of his daughter and granddaughter, has redefined him. He became a facilitator to parents who have lost children. It is a group he named "Parents of Hope". God seemed to say to him, "If I know you are in pain. Take that pain and reach out to others who are suffering in the same way. I will show you the way." That ministry led to the position of Patient Advocate, at Detroit Receiving Hospital, in 2009, after a career in finance for over 35 years. God pointed Daniel Heard in a new direction. A direction that only He saw coming.
God's love was so apparent to Daniel, in the Emergency Department of that hospital, that he was driven to write about the many daily stories of love, death and faith, that he witnessed... and, he calls it "Daniel In the Lion's Den".
God has given Daniel Heard a grief ministry that he eagerly embraces. He feels blessed that God has entrusted in him a calling to help others through their toughest walks in life. He tries to bring a smile to their faces, as a comfort from God's love to us all. The smiley face symbolizes the best reflection of who Daniel Heard is, and that God is always there for all of us.
