Obituary for Daniel Sr. Brodie
Lovingly Remembered
Daniel Brodie, affectionately known as Poo, was born on June 24, 1965 in Philadelphia, PA to Joan Brodie. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in in infinite wisdom gently closed the eyes of our beloved husband, son, father, brother, nephew, uncle and friend as he entered into eternal life at Kennedy Hospital in Strafford, NJ on December 10. 2011.
Poo received his early education at St. Gregory Catholic School where he was a top student in his class. He later graduated from Overbrook High School, where during his senior year he participated in a co-op program for Mellon Bank, which led to his 16 year career in the banking industry. Poo worked hard and diligently climbed the ladder of success. After leaving Mellon Bank, he worked for several different companies. His last place of employment was at UPS in Logan Township, New Jersey where he was the manager or as Poo would say, "Running that".
Poo gave his life to the Lord Jesus Christ and joined West Park Church of Deliverance where he served on the usher board. He later joined New Heritage Church of Deliverance under the leadership of Pastor Michael Boyd.
In 1987, he met Marcy Starks whom he pursued aggressively, winning her heart with kind acts. He was a true Don Juan. They married in 1990, sharing 3 children.
Poo may have been small in size but had a personality as big as the world. You could count on him entering the room to the cheers of "Big Poppa in the house"!! He loved spending time with his family and friends during holidays, special occasions or for just no reason at all. He was the life of the party, always good for a laugh, and as we all know Poo "raised everybody".
His memory will be kept alive by his loving wife, Marcy; 3 children, Daniel Jr., Roy and Ayana; mother, Joan; sister, Donna (Eric); 3 brothers, Nolan, Michael and Bruce; sister-in-law, Vanessa (William); 8 brothers-in-law, Calvin (Joyce), Clarence, Jr., Melvin, Gregory, Thomas, Kenneth, Anthony and David (Elizabeth); 2 aunts, Joyce (Donald) and Lisa and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends. Â
Poo may be gone, but never forgotten.........
There will be a viewing on Friday, December 16, 2011 9:00 AM at Vine Memorial Baptist Church located at 5600 West Girard Avenue in Philadelphia, PA. The funeral service will start at 11:00 AM. Final resting place to conclude at Mt. Lawn Cemetery in Sharon Hill, PA.
