Danny was a long time Burnet County resident. He was employed by Lone Star Aggregates shortly after moving to Burnet in the 1960s. He followed his love for law enforcement and became a part time deputy with Burnet County Sheriff’s office. He then ran for and was elected Burnet County Constable Precinct 1, a position he held for many years before opening Danny Reid and Associates, a private investigation and security service in 2000. He was also affiliated with First State Bank of Burnet during the 1980s.
Through law enforcement he became involved in the Hill Country 100 Club. He worked tirelessly for the group’s goal of supporting law enforcement personnel in times of need and was recently named honorary lifetime director.
Danny became a Master Mason at Valley Lodge 175 in Burnet August 26, 1969, 52 years ago. He served as Junior Deacon, Senior Deacon, Junior Warden, Senior Warden and was a 32nd degree Mason. He was also a member of the Burnet Eastern Star Chapter and Worthy Patron in 1994.
Danny was an avid hunter and managed deer leases in Burnet County and West Texas for many years. Another passion of his was Quarter horses, producing award winning show, performance, and racehorses. His prized possession was his stallion, Big Bay Gil, an accomplished race horse that sired many of his herd.
