Daniel Nelson Gibbons III, 68, of Columbia, passed away on Saturday, December 10, 2022. Born in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 8, 1954, he was a son of the late Ira Judson Gibbons and Joe Ann Crews.

Daniel graduated with class of 72 at Spring Valley High School. He was a proud veteran of the United States Air National Guard and selflessly served a total of 6 years.
