If you had the pleasure of knowing Danny you were blessed. He was a funny, kind and just all around down to Earth awesome guy. Everyone who met him immediately liked and respected him. His humor was the very best part of Danny. If you were his friend, you were his friend for life.

Danny loved his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with all of his heart. His grandkids were the light of his life. They loved their Pawpaw so very much, but he loved them even more!

Music was another love of Danny's. He played drums when he was younger and his Amazon play list has 190 songs on it. Danny was in the tire business most of his life He was the owner/operator of Carmerica at one time. Danny knew and respected most all the tire folks in the area.

Danny and his wife had just recently retired and hoped to spend their golden years traveling and enjoying watching their grandkids grow up. Sadly, God had other plans. He will be missed so much more than words can express. His family will miss his smile, kindness and caring, but most of all, his humor.
