Danny's Life

Danny met his wife, Joy Anderson, at Arkansas Tech University in the band french horn section in 1986. After dating for 5 years through college they married and built their home in Higginson near his family. They were blessed with two beautiful children, Kathryn & Emily, of whom he was immensely proud. Danny made lifelong friends and strived to have a positive impact in each of the various groups he joined through the years. He loved his family and friends and was extremely loyal and helpful to all.

Danny was passionate about traveling, music, nature and hiking, sailing, camping and vintage camper rallies, vintage cars, his support fellowship, and his college fraternity. We will miss everything about Danny, but most of all his adventurous spirit, silly sense of humor, and dedication to his family.
