DANIEL BOONE
Daniel Boone “Dan’l,” 83year-old traveler of Caballo
Lake, N.M., passed away
in Truth or Consequences,
N.M., on Oct. 1, 2014.
Daniel was born in Tacoma,
Wash., on July 17, 1931, to
Marvin and Irma (Comer)
Boone. Mr. Boone was
educated in the Life of “Hard
Knocks” and graduated with
honors. His other education
was the University of
Oklahoma in the 1950s;
served in the United
States Air Force; worked
at NASA, Schlumberger,
Rice University and many
endeavors
of
bicycle
shops. A man of nature and
science, he enjoyed the
Rocky Mountains until his
death; was a friend to many
and stranger to none. He
gave his time and love to
all who would accept him.
He would say, “Fall down
seven times, get up eight.”
Daniel’s brother, Sam said
he “Never met anyone
who said ‘I don’t like that
guy.’” He always treated
everyone equal. If God had
any bicycles to fix, they’d
be fixed by now.
He leaves behind many
loved ones, siblings, Sam,
David and wife, Linda, and
Joy Boone; children, Dawn,
Forrest, Clifford, Laura,
Jeffery, Alan and Gordon;
seven grandchildren; and
one great-grandchild along
with friends in many towns
in New Mexico, Texas and
Washington.
He was preceded in death
by his mother and father,
Erma and Marvin; sister,
Pat; and brother, Jerry.
We (the family, nature,
science and friends) would
like to thank everyone for
their support and help in
this time of grief. Please
no donations or gifts: Dan’l
would rather you give them
to others in need.
Cremation will take place
and no service held.

survived the Japanese attack
on Clark Field Dec. 8, 1941.
Lucky enough to still have
an airplane and crew to fly,
he avoided the fate of many
friends in his squadron who
ended up on the Bataan
Death March. After fighting
in the Pacific Theater
for more than a year, he
returned stateside in 1943
to marry his sweetheart
and train new gunners. He
also became involved in
developing equipment for
loading and carrying the new
atomic bombs. He served in
Korea for two years and
then made the Air Force a
career. After the military,
he was his own business
operator and worked for
several companies, retiring
several times. The original
renaissance handyman, he
was self reliant in all of his
endeavors.
He is survived by two
sons, John W. Cooksey
and wife, Mary of Valley
Center, Calif., Bruce A.
Cooksey and wife, Pamela,
of Palm Desert, Calif.;
two grandchildren, Matya
Strickland and husband,
Mike of Pacific Beach,
Calif.,
Noah
Cooksey
and wife, Kristen of Big
Bear, Calif.; two greatgrandchildren, Asher and
Owen with another on the
way in January; and sisterin-law, Jean Thompson of
Tucson.
Jack and Dolly will be laid
to rest at Miramar National
Cemetery. Please make
donations to the Veterans
or Stroke Associations. He
was a good guy and will be
sorely missed.
