FISHERS, IN - Rev. Paul K. Daniel, 85, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at Community North Heart Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. Paul was born on March 29, 1940, in Pathfork, Kentucky, to the late John Henry and Marie Bradford Daniel. He graduated from Bell County High School, where he played on the basketball team. After graduation, he pursued a career as a barber for nearly 50 years. He was the proud owner of Paul’s Barbershop in Richmond, Kentucky, for more than 20 years, faithfully serving multiple generations of families throughout the community and surrounding areas. After relocating to Middlesboro, Kentucky, he continued his work at the Village Barber Shop for several years.

In the early 1970s, Paul answered a calling to ministry and dedicated his life to serving Jesus Christ. He pastored several churches and assisted many pastors with church plants throughout the United States and in Nicaragua. As his ministry grew, Paul earned a Master of Divinity from Lee University. He spent the remainder of his life preaching revivals and serving as a guest minister for numerous congregations.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Anna Miracle; brother, Matthew Daniel; daughters, Robin Blain and Louise Ball, and son, Billy Daniel.

Paul is survived by his beloved wife and best friend of 27 years, Donna Mason Daniel of Fishers, Indiana; daughters, Regena Daniel of Richmond, Kentucky and Paula Smith (Paul) of Plainfield, Indiana; 10 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; brothers, James Daniel (Wilma) of Marion, Indiana, Jack Daniel (Sharon) of Indianapolis, Indiana, Donnie Daniel of Fort Myers Beach, Florida, and David Daniel (Mary Helen) of Gatlinburg, Tennessee; sisters, Junia Anderson and Ina Mills of Palm Harbor, Florida, and numerous nieces and nephews who dearly loved him.

The funeral service will be held on Friday, March 20, 2026, at Life Church Fishers, 9820 E. 141st Street, Fishers, Indiana 46038.
