Daniel S. "Danny" Kandle

Daniel S. Kandle, 66, of Massillon, passed away unexpectedly at his home on March 30, 2024. He was born in Massillon on March 5, 1958, to the late Donald H. Kandle and Jacqueline A. Elavsky.

Danny was a 1978 graduate of Washington High School. He worked for Standard Testing Laboratories as a mechanic. His skills as a mechanic took him too many countries during his employment with STL.

He spent much of his time at Leesville Lake where he enjoyed fishing, hunting, and camping. He also enjoyed his garden and canning vegetables that he grew.

Danny was a past member of the Massillon Shriners, Massillon Masonic Lodge, Westside Athletic Club and Massillon AMVETS.

He is survived by his siblings, Gail Vogt of Massillon, Nancy Lewis of Pinellas Park, FL., and his brother David (Sandi) Kandle of Navarre; nephews, Lee, Donnie and Elliot Kandle; niece, Tiffany Lewis; and his best friend, Ken Kelly.

In addition to his parents, Danny was preceded in death by both paternal and maternal grandparents, as well as, his uncles, Bob, Larry, and Dale Kandle; aunts Joann and Martha; his uncle Bill Beiter; and brother-in-law, William Lewis.

In keeping with his wishes, cremation will take place and no services will be held. Please take the time to share memories of Dan’s life adventures and messages of sympathy on the website.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Stark County Humane Society or the Shriner Hospital.
