Browning Elementary is rallying to honor the late Londell “Mac” McDaniel—beloved custodian, mentor, and friend—by installing a memorial bench on campus in tribute to his extraordinary legacy. Missy Timmons, who started this GoFundMe, said Mac was a source of joy, comfort, and music whose kindness touched generations of students and staff. The school community seeks to raise $1,300 to create a lasting space where all can reflect on the life of a man who gave so much of himself with a smile and open heart.

Honor the Life and Legacy of Londell “Mac” McDaniel with a Memorial Bench at Browning Elementary.

In a letter found on the school’s GoFundMe page:

Oh, the stories we could tell about Mac!

Londell “Mac” McDaniel was more than just the custodian at Browning Elementary—he was the heart and soul of our school. Known for his unwavering kindness, generosity, and joyful spirit, Mac touched the lives of everyone he met. Whether stepping in to watch a class, selling concessions, or handing out snacks to students who had forgotten theirs, Mac was always there with a smile and a helping hand.

Affectionately known as “The Candy Man,” Mac was a beloved figure to students and staff alike. His impact reached far beyond his job title. He offered comfort to those who needed it, lifted spirits with his laughter, and brought joy through music as “The Jazz Man,” leading unforgettable Mardi Gras parades down the school halls.

We are raising funds to place a memorial bench in his honor at Browning Elementary—a place where students, staff, and community members can sit, reflect, and remember the incredible man who gave so much of himself to others.

Our goal is to raise $1,300 to cover the cost of the bench.

We love you, Mac. Your light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew you.

Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser.

With love and gratitude,

The Browning Bunch
