At the tender age of 24, Danny moved home to take care of his mom and his younger siblings when his dad passed. His love for his mom was incredible, and he enjoyed visiting her every day to make sure she was okay. He met his best friend and the love of his life shortly after and he and Carina built a wonderful life together. Danny's love for his family ran deep. No matter what he was doing, or how busy he was, he always stopped for his family. Over the years, he attended every ball game, every drama play, every activity his children and grandchildren were involved in no matter where they were. Known for his strong faith and generous spirit, Danny was a jack-of-all-trades who would help anybody with anything. He was a fisherman, hunter, woodcutter, carpenter, electrician, mechanic, plumber, or anything else he needed to be to help someone out. He will be immeasurably missed by all who knew him.
