Jason Elbert Daniels was called home to the creator. Jason was born Oct. 23, 1973, to Joe "Hardy" Daniels III and Linda "Sticks" Watters.
Jason attended school at Lapwai Elementary and Lapwai Junior and Senior High School. He later obtained his GED diploma.
Jason loved to hunt and fish and exercised his treaty rights every opportunity he had. He was a member of the Alpowa Band and Wallowa Band, and that made him a strong believer in his culture.
Jason was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Gordon and Dora Watters; his paternal grandparents, Joseph W. Daniels Jr. and Josephine Paul Ramsey; and his father, Joe "Hardy" Daniels III. Jason's survivors include his mother, Linda "Sticks" Watters of Lapwai; a sister, Mary Ellenwood of Lapwai; a brother, Samuel Ellenwood Sr. of Lapwai; a sister, Mazie Jo Daniels of Lapwai; a son, Curry Pinkham of Nespelem, Wash.; and a daughter, Emily Delaney-Daniels of Oregon; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Seven Drum services will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Pi Nee Waus Community Center, and a burial service will be held Thursday morning in Spalding. Dinner will follow after the burial service.
