Danny worked at various places in his lifetime. In his early years, he worked at Woodbrothers Grocery. His later jobs included Rainbow City Church of God, then on to Gadsden City High School, where he retired in 2021. During his last five years at Gadsden City High School he also worked for the Gadsden campus of Church of the Highlands. He always loved to tell others about Church of the Highlands and he had a love for southern gospel music.

Danny was a hard worker and made many lifelong friendships with those he worked with. He was funny and enjoyed talking with people. He loved cutting grass on his beloved John Deere and enjoyed helping his family and neighbors when in need. He received many compliments on his yard work over the years. Among many hobbies, Danny enjoyed hunting and fishing and liked to watch Alabama football.
