Daniel, 43, was killed<\/a> as he worked underneath a vehicle in his shop on Eden Road in Kennedale, Kennedale Police said.<\/p>\nThe jack supporting the vehicle Lord was underneath failed, and the vehicle crushed him, Michelle said.<\/p>\n
Lord was a \u201chandful\u201d growing up, and dropped out of high school to teach himself to weld, his mother said. He had a \u201cmathematical mind\u201d and could figure out how to make things just by picturing how he wanted them to look.<\/p>\n
The color of Lord\u2019s truck, a deep red-black, came out of an experiment with his painter. The men painted the truck thinking that the finished job would come out a solid color, but the vehicle ended up being \u201cghost colors,\u201d Michelle said. That painter was the one who found Lord under the vehicle jack.<\/p>\n
Lord entered the truck in competitions in Louisiana and Texas and loved to park it in front of the Henderson building to take pictures of it, Michelle said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know how legal it is,\u201d she said, \u201cbut he wants us to have his friend drive that truck down the highway and spread his ashes.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to his fabrication work, Daniel Lord was the father of two children, a 10-year-old son and a 17-year-old daughter, for whom he \u201cmade sure everything was taken care of that needed to be,\u201d Michelle said.<\/p>\n
Among her favorite memories of her son, Michelle Lord said, was a time when he tried to climb on top of a bull sculpture near Fort Worth\u2019s Bluebonnet Circle. He fell off of the sculpture and had to walk around for days with a \u201cbusted-up face.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was always the life of the party,\u201d Michelle Lord said. \u201cHe\u2019s the one who would just come up with the craziest things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Lord had a truck that was his \u201cbaby.\u201d The truck came to him just as a body,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":228156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,123194,7371,92041,7372,57469,123195,12045,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-228155","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-daniel-lord","10":"tag-fort-worth","11":"tag-fort-worth-public-market","12":"tag-fortworth","13":"tag-michelle","14":"tag-michelle-lord","15":"tag-taylor-sheridan","16":"tag-texas","17":"tag-tx","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-united-states-of-america","20":"tag-unitedstates","21":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","22":"tag-us","23":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115207109568108396","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
