Please share a memory of Daniel J. to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Daniel J. Ventura, 30, of South Carver, MA passed away at home on September 10, 2018. He was the loving father of Aidan J.S. Ventura, 9, of Centerville, MA who he loved with all his heart. He was not only his son but his best buddy.  He is survived by his mother, Jacqueline Shaw of Wilmington VT, originally of Carver, MA; and his father Scott A. Ventura of West Barnstable, MA, originally of Middleboro, MA. He also leaves behind D.J. Ventura, his “Mini-mom”, of West Barnstable, MA; his loving sister, Kortni Violette of Stoneham, MA; brother, Dylan Scott, US Navy, of South Yarmouth, MA;  grandmother Constance J. Shaw of Carver; and grandparents, Robert J. and Ann M. Ventura of Middleboro. He was the nephew of Donald S. Shaw of Fall River, originally of Carver; Margot (Ventura) and Thomas Simmons of Middleboro; and a cousin, Ashley Shaw of Dripping Springs, TX. He also leaves behind many, many other adoring cousins who were like brothers and sisters to him. He was predeceased by his grandfather, John A. “Jack” Shaw of Carver. 

Dan worked by trade as an electrician and had also taught electrical code theory. He was a mentor to many in his trade.  He loved boating on Sampson’s Pond where he grew up. He also enjoyed playing pool, horseshoes, snowboarding, and snowmobiling.  Dan could light up a room by just walking into it. He wanted everyone around him to smile and laugh. He was the light in so many people’s lives.  He will forever be remembered for his intense love of family, his witty sense of humor, his beautiful smile, his unmistakable infectious laugh, and his beautiful loving spirit.   

A service celebrating his life will be held on Saturday, September 22nd at 3:00 pm at the Union Church, 29 South Main Street (Route 58), South Carver, MA.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Daniel J. Ventura Memorial Fund (for the benefit of his son Aidan) through any Rockland Trust Company branch office.
