It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Daniel M. Waterman, 22, of Liverpool, NY, who left this world on October 8th, far too soon following a tragic act of violence. Daniel passed away after courageously fighting for eight months from injuries sustained in a crash.
Daniel was an excited, soon-to-be father of a baby girl. He wanted nothing more than to come home to her and to the family who loved him so dearly.
A natural athlete, Daniel especially loved basketball and could often be found on the court, where his passion and determination shone through. His strength, determination, and infectious energy left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
Daniel’s family includes his loving mother, Heather Waterman, and father, Michael Ryan; his grandparents, Mimi Eichler Ryan, Jim Ryan, Michael Gilman and Crystal Waterman; great-grandmother Gretchen Stappenbeck; great-uncles Jay Stappenbeck, Edward Stappenbeck, Thomas Ryan; his aunts, Tiffany Waterman, Stacey Waterman, Michelle Jeski; cousins Alicia, Jessica, and Sarah Stappenbeck, Jett and Stevie Vinch; four half-siblings; and countless more family, friends and loved ones.
He was loved deeply by his family and countless friends, all of whom will forever remember his kind heart and bright spirit. Daniel’s life was taken from us far too soon due to a horrific attack, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Though I didn't have the privilege of knowing Daniel personally, I knew of him through the eyes of someone who loved him deeply - his grandmother, Mimi Eichler Ryan. The way she spoke of Daniel told me everything I needed to know about the light he brought into this world and the profound impact he had on those who knew him. A grandmother's love is a special thing, and the bond they shared was clearly one of immense joy and pride. My heart breaks for Mimi and all of Daniel's family and loved ones during this unimaginable loss. Though Daniel's time on Earth was far too brief, it's clear he was surrounded by love - in life and in his final moments. That love will continue to carry his memory forward. To Daniel's family: please know that even those of us who knew him only through the stories and love of others are holding you close in our thoughts and prayers. May Daniel's memory be a blessing and a comfort in the difficult days ahead. Rest in peace, Daniel. You were deeply loved
