After being taken away from her, Daniel’s Grandmother, Nancy Shimer, moved to Denver from California to care for Daniel. This is when he started going to The Tennyson Center at age 14.

Daniel Larson’s father is James Larson. While many people like to say that it’s alleged, the fact that he looks eerily similar to Daniel and shares the same last name makes it not only possible but extremely likely that he is Daniel’s father. Not much is known about him, however it’s likely he wasn’t the greatest father to Daniel along with his wife. He is aware of Daniel Larson’s internet presence. This includes, his TikTok popularity, accusations of pedophilia, and his homelessness. He is said to have his own family now.
