Danny’s life is the perfect example of living life to the fullest. He was the definition of pure joy. When Danny wasn’t working, he was an avid golfer, turkey hunter, bass fisher, master griller, and football official for high school, junior college, and college. He had such a servant’s heart, and, on any day, you could catch him mowing the neighbor’s yard, lending a helping hand to those in need, or helping one of his daughters with different tasks. He loved listening to Chris Stapleton, drinking an old fashioned, driving ten miles under the speed limit, and sneaking table food to his beloved, spoiled dogs. Everyone who knows Danny would agree that he was the most selfless person and never put himself first. He was humble, patient, caring, giving, loving, encouraging, and so very kind. He truly was one of a kind. He represented our Lord Jesus Christ in all that he did, and he reminded everyone to seek first the Kingdom and that all else shall be added.
He will be terribly missed, but his legacy on this earth will forever live on in the hearts of all those who knew and loved him.
He is preceded in death by his father Dr. Berry “Buddy” Daniel Lott Sr. He is survived by his wife, Kelly Lott; three daughters, Morgan, Taylor, and Kyleigh; his mother, Rita Lott; his brother, Brian Lott (Ellen); two nephews, Larson and Whitten; the son he never had, Dr. Zack Elkins (Haley and Everly); and his fur babies.
