Danny loved sketching and drawing, especially cars and trucks, and he loved tinkering with cars and trucks. He worked in various machine shops where he found good use of his talents with his hands. His diabetes limited him but he always battled through. Danny was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he was 8. A testimony he never lost. Danny loved football and was a Texas Longhorns fan and a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. The family often answered the phone only to hear, “How ’bout ’dem Cowboys!” Danny was preceded in death by both of his parents and, all of his grandparents. He often said being born to “older parents” meant not having grandparents, but he made up for it by having extra brothers and sisters. Danny often mentioned how much he missed his Mom and Dad. They were surely there to meet him on that early August Tuesday morning. Danny was very loved and will be very missed. Celebration of life will be held at a later date. Families are Forever
