As a young man Danny was known as an athletic warrior, playing 4 sports at Drewry Mason High School but later in life he was widely known for his prayer warrior spirit for all people, especially for friends and family.
Danny's deep love for Jesus produced an all-encompassing love for people. From working as a CAN to working in landscaping, his goal was to serve and help people smile. He never met a stranger and he cherished the opportunity to share Jesus with them Danny was truly an example of putting other before himself. Though Danny suffered much in his body, he never stopped praising God. He is now in the arms of Jesus, never to suffer again. He will be sadly missed.
