Daniel went on to attend the University of Texas at Austin where he majored in Chemistry and Physics. He had a long and successful career as a Visual Display Engineer, becoming an expert in Liquid Crystal Display, attaining 31 patents, and winning numerous awards and accolades.

Daniel changed how we view information today by being the co-inventor of the first laptop and inventing wide aspect ratio. He was beloved by colleagues around the globe collaborating, designing, and inventing were his passions.

His biggest passion, however, was his family. Daniel is preceded in death by his parents Elo and Josephine Evanicky and daughter Tammy Evanicky-Pestinger. He is survived by his daughters Carol Evanicky and Cipriana Evanicky, 5 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren and numerous cousins.
