Daniel Wayne Garvin, 51, of Murfreesboro, TN unexpectedly passed away on Tuesday, May 19, 2026.

A quiet, laid-back, and gentle old soul, Daniel spent his life finding true peace in the simple things.

He is survived by his loving son, Christopher Garvin; his father, John Ronnie Garvin; his sister, Carol Garvin Tomlinson; and his brothers, John (Pam) Garvin, Jacob Garvin, and Billy Garvin.
