Daniel Patrick Beahan, age 70, of Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on March 26, 2026, surrounded by his loved ones at home.
Daniel was born on November 29, 1955, in Syracuse, New York, to Francis John Beahan and Shirley Nolan. One of eight children, he was raised in Abington, Pennsylvania, where he grew up with a strong sense of family that remained throughout his life. He graduated from Bishop McDevitt High School in 1973, where he was involved in the performing arts, participating in school productions and dedicating himself to the Color Guard Barclay Brigadiers. He later attended Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and pursued a career in environmental sciences, working for many years at Phoenix Environmental Laboratories.
Daniel was a devoted husband and father. He adored his wife, Janice MacCall, and his children, Kourtnay, Darian, and Nicholas. Daniel was a proud autism father, and took great pride in educating others about his son, Nicholas.
Daniel is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years, Janice; his daughters, Kourtnay (Matthew) and Darian (Pierce); his son, Nicholas; his brothers, Dennis, Neil, Michael, and Christopher; his sisters, Eileen and Mary; three grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Francis and Shirley; his younger brother, Brian; and his infant brother, Gerald.

March 29, 2026 at 10:49 pmI was shocked and saddened to hear of Dan’s passing. What a tremendous loss to your family and also to the world…he was definitely one of the good ones. A loving husband and father while also able to connect with his children’s friends in a way that made them feel special. I remember my Ashley joking around with him and having fun (starting in NMS days with Darian) making up accents and being silly. I quickly realized that this guy is a genuinely good guy and these kids, especially mine, truly enjoyed laughing and cutting up with him. Janice, There was no doubt that Dan loved you and he loved each of his children deeply but I would like to thank Dan for loving our children too. Please let me know if there’s anything you need. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

We spent many hours together with Dan & his family, swimming, laughing, playing games, eating, dancing and jumping on the trampoline. We had so much fun, savoring every moment with the kids. Dan loved his wife and adored his kids, we miss you dearly.
