Daniel Nolan Fortenberry 1974 - 2026 Daniel Nolan Fortenberry, 51, of Osyka, passed away on June 13, 2026, at SWRMC in McComb. Born on August 27, 1974, in McComb, Daniel spent his life sur- rounded by the commu- nity and family he cher- ished deeply. Daniel was a devoted husband to Kendra Fortenberry, with whom he shared 24 years of marriage.

He often said that Kendra was the one who saved him, and their bond was a testament to enduring love and partnership. Together, they built a life filled with love and joy, raising their 2 sons, Joseph and Brady Fortenberry. Daniel's boys were his pride and joy; he was a loving and kind father who found immense happiness in watching them grow.

He loved his dogs, especially his 2 girls. He was a wonderful and loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend whom will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Daniel was pre- ceded in death by his parents JF and Charlotte Fortenberry; and 1 sister Lori Fortenberry.

Family was at the heart of Daniel's life. He is survived by his wife Kendra Fortenberry; 2 sons Joseph and Brady Fortenberry; mother Beverly Lohr (Chuck); brothers Tim Fortenberry (Erma), Derek Lohr, and Jeffery Fortenberry (Jane); sis- ters Charlotte and Amy Lohr; brother-in-law Josh Poole (Kelsey); mother-in-law Becky Poole; father-in-law Buddy Poole (Cindy). He also leaves behind many nieces; Ava, Josee, Mena, Bella, Kiley, Kinsey, and Avani; nephews Jase, Aiden, Jay, Clay, Mason, PJ, and Riley.

Daniel was blessed with friends who were more like brothers to him Wade Davis (Tasha) and Shannon Mulligan (Vicky); and a host of more relatives and friends. Daniel's warmth and kindness left an unforgettable mark on all who knew him. His loveable nature made him a cherished pres- ence in the lives of fami- ly and friends alike.

His legacy of love will live on through those who had the privilege of knowing him. May Daniel's mem- ory bring comfort to all who mourn his passing. A Memorial Service was held on June 17, from 10AM to 11AM at Progress Baptist Church.
