Daniel Larson has many family members. Few of these relatives are on speaking terms with Daniel, if not already dead, leading generally normal lives without him.

Not much is known, even about his immediate family. The little information Daniel has revealed about his family cannot be taken at face value, however, this article will attempt to identify as many as possible.

Parents

Elisabeth Shimer

Main article: Elisabeth Shimer

Elisabeth and Daniel.

Elisabeth Shimer is the mother of Daniel Larson, as well as Joyetta and Olivia Larson. Growing up, Daniel claimed to have suffered alleged abuse at the hands of his mother, which eventually got him taken away by the state of Colorado. However, it is worth noting that Daniel may have been the perpetrator of the abuse, as he, at one point, was arrested for striking his mother who, after years of fighting lupus, became wheelchair-bound.[1]

His mother's Facebook account is filled with songs and covers, most notably one about Daniel, where Elisabeth is heard a cover of “I Won’t Give Up” By Jason Mraz, featuring her singing over pictures of a young Daniel. Elisabeth was eventually diagnosed with lupus, which ended up putting her in a wheelchair. Due to her disability, and Travis no longer being there to support her, Elisabeth had a harder and harder time taking care of Daniel. This neglect eventually led up to the State of Colorado removing Daniel from Elisabeth's care, putting him in the Tennyson Center.

Despite Daniel's claims of abuse, Elisabeth has come forward about the multiple times Daniel would physically abuse both her and his grandmother. During one of these instances, it resulted in Daniel having to enter police custody following a call to the authorities after an attack on his mother. Just like all of his other relatives, Elisabeth, despite saying that she loved him in a comment on Papa Guts channel, wants no contact with him given his actions.

Lookin' spiffy, Travis!

Travis Larson

Main article: Travis Larson

Travis Larson (Born September 1978) is the father of Daniel Larson and Aurora Larson. Not much is known about him, except for the fact that he wasn't present for a majority of Daniel's life. It’s likely he wasn’t the greatest father to Daniel, as he dubbed him a "lost cause" before eventually splitting with Elisabeth. According to an Interview conducted by LarsonLeak, he is aware of Daniel's TikTok popularity, pedophilia, and his homelessness. Having a new family, Travis desires absolutely no contact with Daniel.

Siblings

Joyetta and Olivia Larson

Joyetta and Olivia Larson (March 27, 2001 – March 27th, 2001) are the two, and only, siblings of Daniel, conceived by both Travis and Elisabeth. They were twin sisters, and would tragically die the following day after their birth due to RH incompatibility. Elisabeth seems to hold more love for them than Daniel, as she made a video singing a cover of the song “Angels” for them”,[2] and given the fact she'd constantly post about them on her Facebook account.[3]

It can be argued that Elisabeth loved them more than Daniel, especially given how awful Daniel was to her over the years. However, this is just speculative and cannot be proven.

Aurora Larson

Aurora Larson is Daniel's paternal half-sister. Little is known about her or her relationship to Daniel, it can be assumed that she too has no contact to Daniel at all, nor if she even knows about him at all. However, the one thing about her that is known is that, as revealed by LarsonLeak, Aurora had been arrested for crimes that are unknown.[4]

Grandparents

Nancy Shimer

Nancy Shimer (April 2, 1947 – July 24, 2019) is the adoptive mother of Elisabeth, making Daniel Larson’s biological grandparents unknown. Even so, Daniel was the happiest living with his grandmother, as she genuinely loved and cared for Daniel, especially given being placed in the Tennyson Center after being neglected by his mother. This was also in part due to Nancy enabling Daniel's negative behaviors. In his childhood, an event occurred where a 4-year-old Daniel painted on Nancy's walls, and instead of facing repercussions, Nancy rewarded him with candy.

However, much like Elisabeth, Daniel was alleged to have hit his grandmother on multiple occasions. Even when Nancy was diagnosed with cancer, Daniel continued to beat her. When she eventually died, Daniel opted to go to the Special Olympics instead of watching her on her deathbed.

Daniel William Shimer

Daniel William Shimer (September 16, 1943 – September 24, 2015)[5] is the ex-husband of Nancy Shimer, grandfather of Daniel, and father of Elisabeth, Sarah, and Rachel Shimer. According to his obituary, he was born in Merced, California, and was raised on a dairy farm near Chowchilla, California. He attended the University of Berkeley and received BSEE and MSEE degrees. He worked for the next 49 years as an electrical engineer.

He and Nancy married on November 28, 1970,[6] although not much is known about their relationship beyond them giving birth to two biological children, Sarah and Rachel Shimer.

It can be assumed that their relationship was less than optimal, as the couple divorced on September 1st, 2005.[7] Daniel died on September 24th, 2015, due to lung cancer. According to his obituary, he smoked heavily for many years, which may have contributed to his eventual death. There was no service for his death per his request, and his body was cremated.

Considering how both Daniel's grandfather and him have the same name, is it likely that Elisabeth made the decision to name her son after him.
