Daniel James Hughes, age 27, of Missouri Valley, Iowa, passed away on November 6, 2024. He was born on September 8, 1997, in Missouri Valley, Iowa to Bill and Rachel Hughes.
Daniel fought an 11-year battle with severe epilepsy. We rejoice that he is seizure-free in the arms of Jesus. Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.”
Daniel had a deep love for dogs, capturing memories through photography, and for spending countless hours working on various videography projects, including filming and uploading services for Landmark Baptist Church where he attended locally. He was particularly fond of the Kendrick Brothers films, and he had a lifelong devotion to his beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Daniel graduated from Missouri Valley High School in 2016; he then attended Iowa Western Community College where he entered the Graphic Communications program.
He will be greatly missed by family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Daniel is preceded in death by his friend and mentor, Uncle Larry (Carol) Foss.
He is survived by his parents, Bill and Rachel Hughes; his siblings Gary (Kindren) Hughes of Camby IN, Mary (Dave) Perry of Cedar Rapids, IA, Paul (Becky) Hughes of Greenville, SC, Tim Hughes of San Diego, CA, Ruth (Daniel) McNeill of Kernersville, NC, Rebekah (Zach) Jordan of Omaha, NE, Esther (Bradley) Nelson of Council Bluffs, IA; nieces Cecily, Arden, Amelya, Genevieve, Joanna, and Vera, and a host of extended family and friends who will cherish his memory.

I am so sorry to hear about Daniel. I always enjoyed the time he spent in the library and visiting with him. I watched him grow into a very pleasant young man. May God hold you in his loving arms during your time of grief.
