Daniel Fields, 92, passed away Saturday, August 16, 2014.
A service will be held at 3:00pm Tuesday, August 19, 2014 at the Speaks Suburban Chapel, 18020 E. 39th St, Independence, MO 64055.

Burial with military honors will be at Missouri State Veterans Cemetery in Higginsville, MO, on Wednesday, August 20, 2014, at 10:00am.
He was born May 4, 1922 in Roseville, Illinois. Daniel served his country in the Army as a Darby Ranger in WWII. He later transferred to the Air Force serving in the military for 20 years. As a Prisoner of War soldier in the German prison camps, he survived to live a long, strong life.
He married Vera Frisbie on June 10, 1947, while still in the military. Daniel and Vera would travel the United States throughout the 1950s, as they were stationed in many states as well as in France. In 1963, he retired from the Air Force and located to Independence, MO, where he lived the remainder of his life. Daniel and his wife continued to stay connected to other retired Rangers from WWII. Dan spent many years supporting and cheering for the New York Yankees. His love for the mountains, the outdoors, and animals is reminiscent of his years of travel to the mountains in Wyoming, and his great love of fishing.
Dan was preceded in death by his brother, Bernard Fields. He is survived by his wife, Vera; sister, Twila; his children, Janet and Denise, and grandchild, Antonia. The family requests contributions to the Wounded Warrior Project in Daniel’s memory.
