Danny loved spending time with his daughter, Julia, grandchildren Joshua and Christian and his wife, Marissa. He enjoyed playing video games with them, watching movies, and making home movies. He loved spending Christmas with them and dressing up as Santa when they were little. He was so proud of all of their accomplishments.

Danny also enjoyed spending time with his friends and his CUI Family. He enjoyed attending the Blues Festival every year with his friend John Galloway and always spoke of the jokes they would send back and forth to each other. Danny loved his entire CUI family. He spoke fondly of his co-workers and enjoyed watching their children and grandchildren grow up. He and Mary enjoyed attending all of their holiday parties and volunteering together.
