Lowell - Dannel John Gannon, 46, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at Lowell General Hospital. He was the longtime companion of Kelly Miskimins, with whom he had been together since 1997.
Born on February 26, 1978, he was the son of Daniel and Celeste (Caruso) Gannon of Erving. A lifelong Pawtucketville resident. He was educated in Lowell, graduated from Lowell Catholic High School. He was a standout athlete, and was the captain of their first football team. Dannel was an NRA Instructor and a passionate Gun Rights and Second Amendment Advocate. He had a deep love for sports, gambling, and poker, and was an avid concertgoer. Last summer, he embarked on what he called the "Summer of Dan," attending numerous concerts across the country, indulging in his love for music. Known for his mischievous sense of humor, he was also a practical joker, which led to his reputation as quite the zip-tie enthusiast.
