Daniel Joe Lusby Sr. was born on January 15, 1945 in Knoxville, Tennessee to Dewitt and Helen (Rhea) Lusby. Daniel accepted Christ as his savior at a tent revival as a young boy.

He attended North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton, ND and graduated in 1974 with an automotive diploma and a certificate in SSA. Daniel worked for Steiger Tractor, Burlington Northern Railroad as a laborer, and then was a laborer for Labors Local 580. He enjoyed fishing, crafts and woodworking, singing and playing guitar, gardening, playing card, board games and was gifted at beadwork. He loved spending time with his family, visiting shut-ins, and sharing his knowledge and love for the Lord with all he came into contact with.
