Danny was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend who enjoyed spending time with family, especially the grandchildren.  A long-time carpenter, he had worked for Cleveland Construction, Judy Construction, and Little’s Building and Remodeling.  Known as a hard worker, he was also a self-employed carpenter.  He enjoyed the outdoors, yard sales, fishing, and going to church.  He was a member and deacon at Rock Fork Christian Church. His greatest desire was to encourage everyone he met to accept the Lord into  their lives. Danny will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.
