It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Daniel Edward Napieralski Sr., who left this world on December 6, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on October 4, 1947, in St. Louis, Michigan, Daniel was a beacon of love and strength to all who knew him.
Daniel was the beloved son of Edwin and Lorena Napieralski.
He is preceded in death by his cherished wife, Kim Myre-Napieralski, whose love and companionship shaped Daniel into the man he became. Their bond was a testament to true love, and even in her absence, her memory remained a guiding light for him.
Daniel is survived by his proud children, Daniel Edward Napieralski Jr., Robert Jay Napieralski, and Teri Leigh Zacarov, each of whom carries forward his legacy of compassion and integrity. He was a loving father whose support and encouragement served as the foundation for their lives. His wisdom and guidance will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever live on in their hearts.
Throughout his life, Daniel was known for his generosity and willingness to help others. In honor of his memory, the family kindly requests that donations be made to St. Jude’s Hospital, an organization that reflects Daniel’s caring nature and commitment to helping those in need.
As we mourn the loss of this remarkable man, we also celebrate the beautiful life he lived. Daniel Edward Napieralski Sr. will be remembered not only for his unwavering love for his family but also for his ability to connect with others, leaving an indelible mark on their lives.
Rest in peace, dear Daniel
