He later joined a multi-specialty group being formed in Dixon, IL. While in Dixon, he was instrumental in setting up their ICU unit.

After a very hard winter when the sun did not shine for 30 days, the family relocated to the Southwest. First 16 years in El Paso, TX and then 22 years of practice in Big Spring, TX. He served on at least 7 hospital staffs over the years in various appointments and was a Chief of Staff at least once at all. During his 52 years of practice, he was a dedicated patient advocate at all times. He tried to never leave a patient without getting a smile or laugh from them.

Doc also had a passion for the equine business which began with his daughter’s first horse. He was, in fact, fundamentally a cowboy at heart and would preferred to have passed with his boots on!

Dr. McDaniel is survived by his wife Linda; daughter Dawn (Pat) Foster of Sterling City, TX; son Chad (Angie) McDaniel of Round Rock, TX; son Michael of Big Spring, TX, and son Cory of Sterling City, TX. Grandchildren Quinton (Michelle) Foster, Zachary (Shandee) Foster of Sterling City, TX, and Clark McDaniel of Round Rock, TX. One great grandchild, Ryder Foster, but there are two more on the way!

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Robert McDaniel, PhD, and Robert’s son Derek.

Cremation rites will be conducted by Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory. Per Doc’s Request, no services will be performed.

So, whenever you dig into that bite of chocolate, give a remembrance to Dr. Clark McDaniel.
