Bro. Dan was born May 21, 1953 in Washington County, FL to the late Charles Burton and Deravene Conaway Raley. Bro. Dan possessed a humble and compassionate spirit and epitomized Christ as he walked with him daily. He was active in gospel ministry for over 45 years. He was not only the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Slocomb for over 28 years; he was, in fact, the pastor of the entire Slocomb Community. When not engaged in ministry, Bro. Dan enjoyed spending time relaxing at his lake house, fishing with his grandchildren and spending time with family and friends. His message was Christ, his hope was heaven; he fought a good fight, finished his course, kept the faith and has now received from his Lord a crown of righteousness. 

Survivors include his wife of 40 years, Cecilia Godwin Raley, Slocomb; one daughter, Brittany Berry (Mark), Slocomb; two sons: Braxton Raley (Alexis), LaGrange, GA and Brantley Raley (Je Hui), Ramstein AFB, Germany; seven grandchildren: Trenton, Tanner, Logan, Asher, Madden, Savannah and Salinger; one sister, Cheryl Andrews (Bill), Dothan; nieces, nephews, extended family and his brothers and sisters in Christ.
