Daniel Duane Scoles, born November 27, 1943, to Charles W and Nellie Faye (Croy) Scoles in Peoria, Illinois passed away at St Dominic Hospital in Jackson MS on May 26, 2026 and has gone to be with our Lord. 

Dan attended Limestone High School in Bartonville, Illinois. A few years later on Dec 11, 1965, Dan married Jeanne Ann Lockwood, his beloved wife of nearly 58 years. Dan’s early career in the textile industry resulted in he and Jeanne moving their family to Mississippi in 1980 where they lived the rest of their lives. Dan was a devoted husband and father. Aside from doing all he could to take care of his family, Dan’s passion was cooking and he never shied away from new and challenging recipes. 

Dan was preceded in death by both parents, wife, Jeanne (Nov 16, 2023) and by siblings, Eleanor L (Mattes), Lois (Stockwell), Doris Dean (Rambo), Phyllis (Kaufman), Charles Croy, Donald Ernst, Gwendolyn Faye (Covington), Sharon Croy (Thompson), and Marlene Kay (Swearingian). 

Dan is survived by one brother, Paul Kent (Cindy), two sons, Scott (Tamie) and Todd (Nanci), grandchildren, Christopher (Victoria), Riley, Samantha and Jessica, three great grandchildren, Amelia, Raeleigh and Fynli and by his much-loved dog, Keegan. 

Services are scheduled at Wright & Ferguson Funeral Home, Flowood on Tuesday, June 2 2026. Visitation is from 1 PM to 3 PM with a chapel service to follow.
