Daniel Lloyd Putman

Daniel Lloyd Putman, born on February 8, 1974, in Columbia, South Carolina, passed away on May 29, 2025, in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Daniel graduated from high school in Moore, Oklahoma, and pursued further education at OKC Platt College, focusing on criminal justice training for security work. Yet, it was in woodworking that he found his true passion. With a heart as big as his talents, Daniel was a devoted carpenter whose hands transformed houses into cherished homes.

Daniel was a man of strong convictions, known for his blunt honesty and headstrong nature. Many remember him as someone always ready to lend a hand, whether it was helping friends move or tackling a home improvement project. Nothing was more important to Daniel than his children. His love for them was strong and unwavering.

Beyond his dedication to family and work, Daniel found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved golf, woodworking, and spending time outdoors—camping, fishing, and working on his yard were among his favorite pastimes.

A good son, brother, father, and friend, Daniel's memory will be cherished by those who had the privilege of encountering his spirited personality and warm heart. He took great pride in the renovations he completed on his parents' house, a stunning 117-year-old Victorian home. Each fireplace he installed, every panel he painted, and the lovingly crafted kitchen and bathrooms are now a part of his enduring legacy.

Preceding Daniel in death are his grandparents, Elsie Putman, Nancy Hoover, and Orb Putman.

Those left to cherish his memory are his children, Dylan Norris, Ethan Norris, Alexis Putman, and Jaxson Putman, father, Billy L. Putman, mother, Suzon A. Putman, brother, Patrick W. Putman, and paternal uncles, Raymond Putman and Jerry Putman.

A memorial ceremony for Daniel will be held on Friday, June 13, 2025 at 2:00 pm at the Walker Funeral Chapel.
