Rev. Dan Raley

As the pastor of our family for nearly 30 years, through family things to Lakresha and I's wedding and the birth of Addison, Bro. Dan as always been there to offer words of encouragement and most of all the word God through prayer and the Bible. We mourne his departure from this life because he will be deeply missed but celebrate his home going to be with our Lord and Savoir. It was a blessing knowing that our God could say job well done my good and faithful servant. Too Bro. Dan's family our hearts pour out, if there is anything you need we're here.

It is hard to express in words what an impact Bro. Dan and the family had on this young married couple with a new baby when we moved there. We learned so much about ministry through his example of love and compassion. He will be greatly missed here but what a celebration and reunion it will be one day with him and all the others he has touched. We are praying for you Cecilia, Braxton, Brantley and Brittany. We wish we were there to love on each of you in person. Lots of love and prayers.

I went to Jr. High School in Bratt with Danny. So sorry for your loss. I am so glad I found him on facebook and was able to see a little into the man of God he had become. Thank God we know where he is now. I will be keeping all of you in my prayers and remembering this fun-filled boy I knew. He was the boy you could never forget. Karen Sue Coleman Leonardi

One of the finest representatives of Slocomb and His extended Church Family, "A true Man of God", You will be dearly missed "Brother Dan".

Our prayers are with the family of Bro. Dan. He meant so much to our family and to the parents of June Hundley Calloway. My husband and I appreciate the time he spent with our family during the entire time he was at Slocomb Baptist Church.

Mrs. Raley, and Brittany. Baby I want to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you for the loss of my brother In Christ & your wonderful husband & Brittany's wonderful dad. I talked to brother Raley about three months ago & he booked me for a concert May 4, for the Sunday morning. It's going to be so different ministering at the church and him not being there. But I know he Will be there in spirit & we will dedicate the whole concert/service to him. As hard as it will be, I'm looking forward to seeing you again. You are such a wonderful woman of God. And I'm honored to call you my family. We are definitely praying for you sweetheart. I love you so much with all my heart & please give Britney a kiss from me.

I love you so much Mrs. Raley & Britney. God bless you both baby. He was a wonderful man of God & still is.

Cecelia, my heart & prayers go out to you, your children & grandchildren! It's been forever since you & Dan were at Goodhope, but I have so many great memories from then. We were all so young & Dan was like another teenager, when he came to lead us! You both were such a blessing to me, Doyle, our church & community. Love to you all, Cheryl & Doyle Barrow

Cecilia & family, Our prayers go up for you all during this difficult time. Dan was so instrumental in encouraging Todd as he began his vocational ministry! We are sorry for your loss and the loss of such a great Kingdom servant on this earth. May you be comforted by your memories of his godliness and God's love. After FL Baptist, Todd went on to serve as youth minister at churches in Jensen Beach, FL and Ocala, FL, as asst. pastor of a country venue church in Ocala, and then on to form a non-profit ministry that served the racing community as a track chaplain. I have served as youth teacher, nursery director, ladies' Bible study leader, women's ministry coordinator, and have been involved with prison ministry for 14 years, along with homeschooling our two children. Our family has been greatly impacted by the many lessons learned along the way, including our time in Malvern & Dothan. Our son, an Eagle Scout, graduates from high school this year and will be studying Police Science to become a public servant. Our daughter will begin high school in the fall and they both serve in the youth praise band. We appreciate the contributions to our spiritual growth while we were there under Dan's leadership and we are confident that the many lives he has touched along the way have been similarly impacted. We're sure you'll hear many stories of how he's helped many others. Earth will be the lesser and Heaven greater for his absence & presence, respectively. We hope you and your family feel the prayers being sent for you. Deepest condolences.

Cheryl- I always thought you were so pretty,you & dan got along so good for bro & sis.hey that brother is up there waiting for you ,too. my pastor tommy white mentioned dan's passing in his sermon this morning and my jaw dropped-I did not know. I will always regret not getting back in touch with dan. he was one fine Christian man.

My love and prayers are with y'all !! Dearing the time of your lose !! Bro Dan Was a good Christin man and we know We're he is today with our Jesus and we Will see him again one day !! Love y'all

Cecilia I am sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. My prayers are with you and your family. I remembered you at New Brockton High School.

Sad news that hit home for me all the way from Japan. If I wasn't here for training I'd be there with everybody showing my love of Bro. Dan and everything he represented. Our community lost a good one, but now we have another angel to watch over us in heaven.

So sorry to hear about y'all lose!!! But happy for Bro Dan, he often times said if you heard he'd died don't believe it, because he just started living!!! You'll greatly be missed! So thankful for all the messages The Lord put on you heart!!! Myself, jesse & Seth all came to know The Lord because of you!!! Thank you! Family in my thoughts and prayers!

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dan's passing. I always enjoyed talking to him at the lake house. I wished we had had more time to fellowship. I will miss him very much. Cecilia, Anything Linda and I can do, please don't hesitate to ask. Richard and Linda

Cecilia, I count it among my many blessings to have known and spent time with both Bro. Dan and you on my range. I'm sure you could have found a better 'coach' anywhere, but appreciate the time we had together. Bro. Dan was indeed a 'called' man of God who lived for his Savior daily; who pined for the lost; encouraged the saints; and exalted our Savior. He will be sorely missed here upon this earth, but is far better off praising our Lord in His presence. In this your time of need, may God grant you peace beyond all understanding and may He bless and comfort you and your family each moment of each day.

Cecilia and family. Jerry and I extend our condolences to you and your family. You will be in our prayers.

We wish to extend our most heart-felt sympathy. Brother Dan was one of the most likable, caring people I have had the opportunity to meet. He was what you expected when, you hear the word Christian. We have known Brother Dan, for over thirty years. He was a Blessing to every life he touched. You are in our thoughts and prayers. The Danner, Johna Roberts,& Gabe Adams families

As a young pastor in Slocomb in the 1990's, Bro. Dan was always an encouragement to me. He was not only a great preacher but a good-hearted man who always had a kind word for everyone. We both shared a passion for collecting sports cards and shared together our hobby experiences. I appreciated his "realness". I remember how he supported and cheered on each of his children at the Slocomb High football games. When someone like him goes to be with the Lord, there is a deep sadness in this present realm that the world has lost something good that will only be regained on the other side when all those who know Christ go to be with him. I consider it an honor and a privelege to have had Bro. Dan as a part of my life during that brief time while I was a pastor in Slocomb. May God Bless and Comfort all his family and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear about Dan's passing. His dad was our pastor when we were young teens. His family ministered wonderfully to our community and Dan was a good friend. While I know he's in a better place, my heart breaks for his family. I recently lost my dad and know how difficult it is to lose those we love. Know that I am praying for your family today and in the days ahead. May our Heavenly Father wrap His loving arms around you even now.

What a great man of God You were, Bro . Dan! Thank you for all the sermons you preached and the life you lived. You married us, you baptized our children, you gave us such joy! We love you Cecelia, Braxton, Brittany and Brantely! Praying for all your family! We will see you again Bro .Dan.

We are so sorry to hear about Bro. Dan. He was our pastor and friend at Bagdad for many years and we truly loved him, Cecelia and the family. Together we had many good times and fond memories at Bagdad First Baptist.

This is a face and voice we will miss seeing around slocomb! Loved his love for God Family and Community. What a joyous reunion he is having now. My love and comfort to his family until they see him again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

Buddy and I are so sorry, you and your family are in our prayers.

Brother Dan was a great pastor and friend of our family. He has rejoiced with us and comforted us in times of sorrow. Never meeting a stranger and always having a servants heart.May God comfort you all in this time of his passing and rejoice in knowing we will all see him again one day!

I am so sorry to hear about Dan. I had not seen him since high school in New Brockton, but even then he was a good, kind and gentle spirit. God's speed.

Love and prayers for the family.

Sending love and prayers for the family. The Johnsons. Milton,Fl.

So sorry for your loss. Love and prayers for the family . The Johnsons Milton ,Fl

One of the greatest men of GOD I have ever known. He was more that my pastor he was a friend. He gave so much of his time for his church & his church family. Always there to give a hug or a kind word of encouragement. We lost our grandfather a week ago & Bro. Dan gave me a call to let me know we were in his thoughts. That's the kind of man he was, just a phone call. He was so giving of his time. What a legacy for his family always remember the man he was & thank you to the family for sharing this man with the rest of us in the church & the community. Thank you Bro. Dan for giving to the LORD!!! I know you have a great place in the kingdom of heaven.

We are saddened to hear of Bro Dan's homegoing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time as you adjust without him. We met him many years ago when jis dad and mom were pastoring orange hill baptist church in chipley. They were very good friends with us. I know that he is rejoicing with them now. Charles & Martha Norris

Dear Cecilia and Family; I only learned of Dan's homecoming tonight and needless to say I was completely shocked. You have my deepest sympathy and will be in my prayers. Dan was truly a genuine Christian and a friend to all. He will be greatly missed. If I can ever be of help to any of you please feel free to call on me. Yours in Christ, Trull Hill

Bro. Dan led me to a personal relationship with the Lord many years ago in a revival at Shiloh Baptist in Hartford. Very sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed.
