Daniel Selman

Daniel "Danny" Craig Selman, age 58, of Oak Park, passed away on September 5, 2024. Daniel was born in Detroit on July 7, 1966, and grew up in Troy, where he attended Troy High School. He later pursued his passion for art at Oakland Community College, excelling in his courses. At sixteen, Daniel began working at his father's business, Selman Architectural Products, where he served as the project manager in the window and aluminum division until about 2004. During this time working in his father’s business, Danny’s entrepreneurial spirit flourished. He owned and operated Time Warp Vintage, a store that specialized in buying and selling mid-century modern furniture, art, glass, and pottery. His expertise in this niche, combined with his near-encyclopedic knowledge of the field, made him a sought-after appraiser and authority. He had an amazing eye for value, and this skill extended to his estate sale business, Time Capsule Vintage, which he ran up until his passing. He also worked at Vogue Vintage in Ferndale, where he still maintains a booth. Outside of his professional endeavors, Dan had a passion for vintage Japanese motorcycles and was a devoted music lover, particularly of rock and roll and The Rolling Stones. He found peace and joy in wandering the grounds of Cranbrook and exploring the Detroit Institute of Arts. Daniel also had a flair for cooking, always crafting his own unique and delicious recipes. A lover of the arts in all forms, he loved movies, attending art shows and estate sales. Daniel was deeply loved by his family and friends, and his loss will be felt profoundly by all who knew him. Danny was the loving son of Linda Selman Darling and the late Martin Selman. Stepson of Thomas Darling. Beloved boyfriend of Lisa Wood. Dear brother of Arthur Selman and stepbrother of Terry Darling. Also survived by his nieces and nephews: Jeremy, Leah, and Brendan, and many cousins. Visitation will be held on Sunday, September 8, from 3:00 p.m. until time of service, 4:00 p.m, at Wm. Sullivan & Son Funeral Home, 705 W. Eleven Mile Rd. (four blocks east of Woodward), Royal Oak. Following the funeral service, a celebration of Daniel’s life will continue at Vogue Vintage in Ferndale. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in honor of Daniel can be directed to the American Heart Association.
