It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jonathan Daniel
Royal, 50 who passed away on January 28, 2025. Daniel lived in
Richmond Hill with his son Aaron.
He was a gentle soul, a good man and a true southern gentleman. He was
a longtime member of Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church
and dedicated choir member. Daniel attended college at Armstrong in
Savannah, where he discovered his talent for performing arts. He later
attended Westminster Choir College and Culinary School. He spent his
days problem solving as the owner of Royal Alarms. Daniel loved
spending time with his son Aaron more than anything in the world. They
never argued or got mad at each other, every second that they spent
together they were both happy.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Helen McCutchen; his maternal
grandparents, Christine and Jack McLaughlin; and paternal
grandparents, James and Rachel Royal.
He is survived by his son, Aaron Royal; father, James W. Royal, Sr.;
stepfather, Roger McCutchen; ex-wife, Candice Royal; sister, Lori Gibbs
(Tommy); brothers, Coby Royal, Jamie Royal (Darla), and Matthew
Hanna (Brandalyn); nieces and nephews, Halle Hanna, Josie Royal and
Trey Gibbs; and the love of his life Susan Benton.
