Daniel Bolinger

Daniel Bolinger, born April 24, 1989, in Marion, Ohio, passed away on June 19, 2026, in Crestview Hills, Kentucky. Throughout his 37 years, Daniel touched the lives of many with his unwavering kindness and quiet strength.

Daniel is survived by his devoted father, Brian Lee Bolinger; his beloved daughters, Jasmine J. Bolinger and Esther L. Bolinger; his cherished siblings, Benjamin Bolinger, Rachel Bolinger, and Peter Bolinger; and his grandmother, Rose Bolinger. He is also remembered fondly by a close circle of extended family and friends, including his girlfriend, Covasia Martin, uncles, Jon Bolinger, Steven Baldridge, and Jeffrey Baldridge, and aunts, Susan Dilyard, Lisa Taylor, Brenda Bolinger, and Edna Baldridge.

Daniel’s journey was shaped by the influence and love of family members who preceded him in death: his mother, Lori Ann Bolinger (nee Baldridge), his grandfathers, Homer Baldridge and Larry Bolinger, his grandmother, Nancy Baldridge, his brother, Jonathan Bolinger, and uncles, David Bolinger and Thomas Armstrong, as well as his cousin, Nathan Dilyard.

Daniel’s roots in Marion, Ohio, and later life in Kentucky, were deeply important to him. His devotion to his two daughters was at the heart of everything he did. He was a Navy veteran who served actively for two years and was in the reserves for four year following that. The bonds he nurtured with siblings and friends were characterized by loyalty, support, and—above all—a deep sense of care for others. Daniel was an animal enthusiast at an early age and by 12, he had read almost every book about animals at the Mansfield Library. He enjoyed bee keeping and maintaining his wild flowers, but most of all he loved caring for his daughters. At the time of his passing he was in the process of building a playhouse for them.

His memory will be honored at a memorial service on July 18, 2026, beginning at 12:00 p.m., at Newcomer Funeral Home, Northern Kentucky, located at 4350 Dixie Hwy, Erlanger, KY 41018. Family, friends, and all who knew Daniel are invited to gather in remembrance and celebration of his life.

Daniel Bolinger leaves behind a legacy of compassion, strength, and dedication to his loved ones. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered.
