of Benton, AR
May 14, 1928 - December 14, 2024
Reverend Daniel Clarence Nalley left this world for his heavenly home on December 14, 2024 in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was born on May 14, 1928 in Benton, Arkansas to his late parents, Samuel David Nalley and Pearl Clara (Ritz) Nalley. He is preceded in death by his wife, Bobbie Jean Nalley; one sister, Mary Bledsoe and one brother, James Nalley.
Daniel enlisted in the Marines for the duration of World War II and served in China prior to being honorably discharged. After serving his country, he married the love of his life, Bobbie Jean (Ledbetter) Nalley. They were blissfully married for 69 ½ years.
He is survived by his four loving daughters, Danita Hyrkas (Gerald) of Alexander, Arkansas, Victoria Garner (Wayne) of Little Rock, Arkansas, Karen Barrett (David) of Granbury, Texas and Lori Permenter (David) of Mansfield, Texas; seven grandchildren, Dana, Gerilyn, Katrina, Kristin, Travis, Timothy and Nate; thirty-one great-grandchildren; one sister, Esther Bishop of Kaufman, Texas and one brother, Samuel Nalley of Chattanooga, Tennessee
Daniel began his ministry as a youth leader at the United Pentecostal Church in Long Beach, California. In 1959, he felt the Lord calling him to open a new church in a storefront building in Southgate, California. That church flourished under his leadership and it then moved to Bell Gardens, California in 1973. His loving, compassionate spirit has inspired, encouraged and nurtured the lives of many over the years. He has been the rock to lean on with a constant, never wavering source of wisdom, strength and stability.

I was saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. Please know all of you girls and your families are in my prayers. He was such a good, kind man and I enjoyed getting to know him and you all at Mt. Carmel. He was always so proud of his beautiful daughters and his whole family.

Farewell Uncle Dan until we meet again. I have more memories than I have space to write them all down, stories from my Mom, Dad, Aunt Bobbie and the many times we were together playing ping pong in our garage, riding dirt bikes at Fraizer Park to setting on the swing in my back yard laughing and telling stories. You will always be remember and loved by everyone who knew you.

Uncle Dan was my Awesome Pastor during first 20 years of my life. He instilled in me the GOD given formula of Salvation found in Acts 2:38. A message I now Preach and live and obey. I have never forgotten his most valuable teachings cause this doctrine will get me to Heaven where I will see JESUS, Uncle Dan, my dad, and many more loved ones woh gone on to be with JESUS. Many Prayers for my cousins Danita, Vicki, Karen, and Lori during this time of their loss. Our loss is Heavens gain. AMEN!!
