I first got to know Monroe when we both worked at Lincoln High School/Humanities and Communication Magnet. He was an interesting and fun friend. If you wanted to know anything about Chicago, he was the person to ask. When I got married, I asked him to stand with me. He didn't hesitate. He will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to my Sister-Friend Nadine, and the Family. Monroe was a delightfully caring man--always in a hurry to help, whether it was requested, or not. May he Rest in Eternal Peace.
Chaplain’s Note – In Memory of Monroe MacDaniel
This is not only a time to mourn his passing but also to celebrate the many ways his life touched others. Monroe was more than just a name among us. Steady, kind, and quietly impactful, Monroe lived a life that reflected strength of character, humility, and deep compassion for others.
In moments like this, we often find ourselves reflecting on the deeper meanings of life, legacy, and love. Monroe’s legacy lives on in the countless lives he influenced—through his words, his work, and his unwavering support for those around him. Whether it was through his acts of service, his words of encouragement, or his quiet strength, Monroe reminded us what it means to live with purpose.
As a chaplain, I have seen how grief and gratitude walk hand in hand. While we grieve Monroe’s passing, we are also grateful for the time we were given to walk alongside him in this life. His memory will not fade; it will continue to inspire us—to live well, to love deeply, and to lead lives that make a difference.
May we find peace in the memories we hold, comfort in our shared stories, and hope in the faith that Monroe’s spirit continues in a place of eternal peace. May God grant comfort to Mrs. Nadine McDaniel, his dear wife, with whom I had the privilege of providing care and prayer, and all who mourn and bless the memory of Monroe McDaniel.
With prayers and compassion,
Asish Mathew
