Danny was born in Athens, AL on February 14, 1954. He graduated from Clements High School. He played football, ran track and loved horses.
He later joined the United States Army Reserves. He was a industrial welder by trade.
Danny died in a tragic accident, but he was doing what he loved most, helping others and working hard. His greatest passion was making sure everyone was taken care of. He would give you the shirt off his back and the last penny he had. He taught us that true love was giving it all at any cost; unselfishly.
He never met a stranger. Fishing with his wife and grandkids, hunting and making anything out of anything were his favorite pastimes. Anyone that new Danny knew he was a believer and wanted everyone else to be.
The days will be much different without Danny’s daily calls and voicemails.
