Danny never met a stranger and enjoyed talking to everyone that he could.  He was a Razorback fan through good times and bad, and tried to never miss a game.  He had a long and diverse working life that included Simpson Printing, Kenworth of Arkansas, Quality Ford, Fletcher-Tate Ford, and Red River Dodge of Heber Springs where he retired and enjoyed all his co-workers.  Danny fought a hard 15 year battle with heart disease and he was forever grateful for the numerous doctors, nurses and other care-givers.  He was especially thankful to the doctors at CHI St. Vincent Heart Clinic at Kanis in Little Rock and their staff; Dr. Lynn Davis, Dr. Muhammad Waqas, Dr. Thomas Wallace, Debbie Evans, and his longtime primary care physician, Dr. Scott Brown, Gina and Katz.

The family will have a graveside celebration at the Leola Cemetery in Leola, Arkansas on Friday, August 2, 2024 at 11:00 A.M.
