MCGAUGHEY, Daniel John

Arizona Silver Belt, Globe, AZ Wednesday, Aug 18th, 2010 Daniel John McGaughey was born on Oct. 7, 1992 to Deanna and John McGaughey. From the moment he came into this world, to his passing, Daniel would face many challenges. These challenges he would face head on showing no fear, for many times he had no choice. His strength of character was one to admire. While one could say he struggled with Autism, if you knew Daniel, then you knew that Autism struggled with Daniel. From his many, “I make you happy” to his “get out” Daniel never failed to make you laugh or smile. He had an infectious laugh that would light up a room. If you met him once, you wouldn’t forget. Daniel wanted to be a pirate or a police officer when he grew up and have his whole family live with him. He was a junior at Globe High School.
