- Pastor Mark McDaniel lost his wife and daughter in a car crash in Howard County, Texas. He opened up with WFAA on Jan. 5, 2024, to talk about how he hopes people will remember them. This is his full interview.
For years at New Hope Community Church in Venus, McDaniel helped his congregants cope with pain and loss.
"People would come to me with grief and heartache," he told WFAA.
Now, he’s the one coming to grips with sudden death.
"You know I’m still in shock of it all," he said.
On Saturday, McDaniel was headed home from a basketball tournament in West Texas with his 17-year-old daughter, Hannah, and wife of 25 years, Brandi.
"I was driving...and I was overcoming by coughing, and I blacked out," Pastor Mark explained. "We hit the guardrail."
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the accident happened at 2:30 p.m. on I-20 East in Howard County.
The guardrail went through their car.
"I was asking [Hannah] to wake up…and…and when she didn’t, obviously I knew and that’s when my heart died, you know."
Hannah died on impact. She loved Taylor Swift, volleyball and Texas A&M, where she’d just applied.
Brandi died in the ambulance.
"She was the center of my universe," McDaniel told WFAA.

Thank you sir for speaking the truth. The pain of losing a loved one is hard but two is devastating. God be with you thank you Jesus for HOPE!
I'm sorry for your loss. It was 9 years ago this month I lost my husband suddenly. God has walked the road with me every step, and he will help you through the grief one step at a time
What a wonderfully kind and warm-hearted man. It rips my heart out that he had his family one day and is alone the next. 💔
Sorry for your loss Pastor...May the Lord be with You Sir
Praying for this pastor. Life is short and I’m so sorry for your tragic loss. You are definitely still in shock. God will hold you in the hard alone weeks to come❤
Thank you, the shock lasted for around a month and half, then the depression and withdrawal ratcheted up. I am doing much better now. Thank you for your thoughts.
Thank you for sharing your life journey and deep grief with us. I was in a car crash at 12 years old & both of my Grandparents died. My Dad & I lived. Survival guilt is so hard. I had wanted to sit on her side of the car that day. But she said no. I am now a widow & I understand how you feel. We all know the Lord so we will meet our loved ones again & Ill meet you in Heaven one day. May the Holy Spirt give you sweet comfort. He can, he will & will continue to comfort you. Jesus will give you strength both now and in the many days ahead! ❤️🙏🏻🤗❤️🤗
Dr. McD is an amazing teacher. Really hate to hear this happened.
Pastor … your loss is unimaginable. As I listened to you sharing your painful story I could hear your pain but also hear God’s grace. I pray that you and your daughter will continue to find comfort and hope in God. Thank you so much for sharing.
I am so sorry Pastor for your loss of your loved ones. May the LORD send you Angels for comfort and peace. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m so sorry. I’m praying for you, Grace and Brandi’s mom.
I lost my husband 4 months ago and thank you for sharing. Sometimes you think you are alone
So sorry for your loss🙏
Yes it feels so lonely and heartbreaking, i just weep but thats ok its grief, thank goodness God never stops holding us ❤❤❤
My deepest sympathy for you, sir.❤
This is hard! Talking even though in pain awesome. May you be comforted.
My condolences.
Sending you my deepest condolences 💐
So sorry for your loss, may God give you comfort ❤
So Sorry For Your Loss Pastor, Sending My Deepest Condolences And Prayers 🙏🙏
Thank You so very much for sharing your story with us! I am so very sorry for your loss! I do not even have the words to say how very sorry I am! You are an amazing Paster & I have no doubt that your wife and daughters had told you the same. I watched this interview & with all of your pain & you still are telling us & still passing on the word of our Heavenly Father above! I don't know what else to say, but I am truly, truly sorry for you & your daughters loss. You & your daughter hold on to each other & keep that AMAZING faith you have & like you said you will see them again one day! I am truly sorry for your loss & thank you again for sharing your story!
Your strength and understanding amazes and inspires me!!
My heart goes out to you, sir. I'm so sorry for this and I'm praying for your healing. The damage that guardrails are causing is a subject that some are speaking out about. There's got to be a safer way to protect us than these type of guardrails.
Sorry for your loss I feel your pain pastor may the Lord strengthen you in this time of your grief
What an incredibly moving interview.😢You sense Jesus all over Him, holding him up/through it.🕊
I cannot even begin to imagine....
To the interviewer: I haven’t seen such heartfelt compassion shown to anyone on air, in years! You never interrupted him once. You let him finish his full thoughts. You let him speak fully. And your own voice was soft & tender toward him. _Outstanding job!_ You didn’t even have the camera on you! What an example you are to all your colleagues who have no clue how to conduct themselves on air.
To Pastor McDaniel...We know there simply are _no words._ No one can begin to relate, who hasn’t been in your shoes.💔I’m just so _deeply_ sorry.😔
You are mesmerizing here. Jesus was penetrating the screen! He was all over you there. Holding you tenderly in His loving arms. Giving you His strength.🕊
Your poignant words & voice, pierced my heart. And has affected me deeply. I’m going to pass this on to a friend who lost her husband on vacation on St Maarten a year ago. She’s _clinging_ to the Lord. I know this will help her. I will send it to 2 others too.
Know God is using it for good, already.
I will keep you & Grace close in heart & prayer.🙏It’s all anyone can do, from afar, who is so touched by your tragedy. :\
May our Loving Father & Savior Jesus bring you His Great Comfort & Peace that surpasses all our understanding, to both you, & precious Grace. And may He carry you through this, on your journey, for as long as you both need. Until you are all reunited again, forevermore. ♥
beautifully said
Praying for you Pastor
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll pray for you and your family. 💔🙏☝️

My heart feels your loss. The pain you are feeling must be beyond anyone can possibly comprehend. Your journey ahead is going to be a challenge beyond any you have ever known. If nothing else you can take away from this tragic situation, is that your wife & daughter were together to help each other, in their crossing. I wish you many beautiful memories, to go with you, until one day you will be united , once again before our Lord 😢❤️

May GOD continue to comfort you in your time of loneliness, in JESUS'S name.
Moreso sad to know he was the driver. So painful, must be hard on him. I know at some point he's gonna blame himself.
Sir, just go through you moments of grief, God will give you the strength.
Initially I condemned myself constantly until an EMT who treated my daughter helped me understand the entire situation better. I appreciate your thoughts.
God bless him
