Daniel John Beveridge, 35, of Visalia, California, passed away on December 8, 2025, in Visalia, surrounded by loved ones. Daniel was born on February 7, 1990, in San Diego, California, to Peer and Paula.
Daniel grew up in North Carolina and graduated from Smithfield Selma High School in Smithfield, NC. His childhood was filled with days spent fishing, riding horses, and embracing every adventure that came his way. He excelled at everything including causing trouble, and doing exactly what he was told not to. He ran cross country well, and pole vault not so well and also had stints with rowing, and baseball.
He later attended the United States Naval Academy, where he earned a degree in aerospace engineering. His years at the Academy were marked by lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, late-night unapproved swims, and spirited wrestling matches.
Daniel served as a Naval Aviator in the United States Navy for 13 years, flying the F-18 before transitioning to the F-35 earning the rank of Lieutenant Commander. During his distinguished career, he completed three deployments, numerous detachments, and traveled to many countries in service to his nation. He loved the community, the brotherhood, and the travels especially the food. His commitment to excellence, humility and unwavering dedication earned him the respect of all who served alongside him.
On May 2, 2020, Daniel married the love of his life, Michelle, in Tulare, California. Together they built a beautiful life and became the proud parents of two children, Kasen and Emery, who were the light of Daniel's world.
Outside of his service, Daniel found joy in golfing, cooking, and fishing. His passion was flying. Above all, he cherished every moment spent with his children, whose laughter and presence brought him endless pride and fulfillment.
Daniel is survived by his wife, Michelle Beveridge, and their children, Kasen and Emery; his father, Peer Beveridge, and his wife, Amanda; his mother, Paula Beveridge; his sister, Heather; his extended family and siblings, his in laws and his nieces and nephews.
Daniel's dedication to his country, his family, and his friends will never be forgotten. His legacy of strength, love, and loyalty lives on in all who knew him. He will be deeply and truly missed.
