Daniel Benjamin

Daniel Benjamin Ice, 62, beloved husband of Margaret Ann Ice, went to be with the Lord June 18, 2012 after a long illness. Daniel was the loving and faithful father of two devoted children, Benjamin Scott Ice and M. Elizabeth Ice Dzula, both of King and Queen County, and their spouses, whom he also loved and cherished: Angela Ice and L.Donald Dzula, Jr. and by three granddaughters: Leia L. Ice, Madelyn E. Dzula, and Ava Danielle Ice. Daniel attended college at Virginia Commonwealth University, the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, and the National Labor College in Washington, DC. Early in his life he worked with the Navigators campus ministry and later served as a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church, USA, and as the Clerk of Session in the Presbyterian Church in America. Believing in the tenet of Scripture, “Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might,” Daniel devoted over 37 years of committed and faithful service to Kraft/Nabisco, taking retirement in October 2011. Daniel was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Lee Ice and Betty Pope Chandler Ice, his brother David Lee Ice, and by a number of grandparents and great-grandparents of whom he was rightfully proud, whose stories are told in the annals of West Virginia history. In addition to his wife, children, and grandchildren, Daniel is survived by a host of sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, and loving friends. A memorial service will be held Friday, June 22, 4 pm at Vincent Funeral Home in Providence Forge, VA, with Rev. Cliff Winters officiating.
