Daniel "Danny" Lee Cloninger, age 51, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday ~ November 14, 2019 at his residence in Dallas, North Carolina. Danny was the most honest person you'd ever meet. He'd give you the shirt off his back, helping others when he knew they needed it. His humor and joking was another great quality about him. Danny loved driving his tractor trailer especially hauling oversized loads. And he knew all the great places to eat where he had traveled. He loved his family greatly and most importantly, his wife Laura who he would do anything for. They were a perfect match together.
Those left behind to carry on Danny's legacy and memories are his wife Laura Cloninger of the home; one daughter and son in law: Christi and Jim Jones of Wilson, North Carolina; one son and daughter in law: Eric and Jennifer Arms of Dallas, North Carolina; two sisters and brothers in law: Kay and Richard Ferguson of Dallas, Emily and Charles Ware of Bessemer City; three brothers and sisters in law: Clifford and Robin Cloninger of Dallas, Chuck and Jewel of Florida, Aron and Susan Cloninger of New York; five grandchildren: Sydney Cox, Jackson Smith, Payton Arms, Gracynn Arms and Dylan Arms; numerous nieces and nephews also survive.
Danny was the son of the late Floyd Yates and Trula Bowers Yates. He was also preceded in death by one sister: Vickey Stamey; three brothers: David Cloninger, Roger Cloninger and Yates Cloninger; one sister in law: Barbara Cloninger.
