Daniel McMullan Jr. Obituary

Daniel John McMullan, Jr., age 63, entered into eternal rest on January 14, 2026, at his home, surrounded by the family he so dearly loved.

Born on March 16, 1962, in Hoboken, New Jersey, Daniel was the son of the late Daniel John McMullan, Sr. and Eleanor Ann Mulkeen. A man of profound dedication and discipline, Daniel served his country with distinction for 30 years in the United States Air Force, ultimately achieving the prestigious rank of Chief Master Sergeant. His career was defined by excellence, but his life was defined by the people he served alongside and the family he came home to.

For 43 years, Daniel was the devoted husband of Dianna Fisher McMullan. Together, they built a life full of adventure, travel, and cherished memories. His love for his family was unconditional, seen in every quiet act of care and every word of encouragement. He was a steady presence—a man who showed up for the big milestones and the small moments alike.

His greatest pride and joy were his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his beloved wife, Dianna; his daughter, Kristin Livingston (Robbie) of Panama City, FL; and his sons, Drew McMullan(Alyssa) of Sandy, UT, and Craig McMullan(Destinee) of Navarre, FL. His legacy lives on through his eight grandchildren, Toby, Tanner, Ava, Isla, Olive, Carson, Everett, and Dakota, all of whom he adored. He also leaves behind a large, loving extended family in Lehighton, Pennsylvania, and many dear friends made throughout his military travels.

Daniel will be remembered as a man of integrity, a patriot, and a pillar of strength for his family. He will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A graveside service with full military honors will be rendered at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, January 19, 2026, at Barrancas National Cemetery. Friends and family are invited to gather to celebrate the life of a man who gave so much to so many.
