Danny “Hobo Dog” Ray Heldstab left this world behind on February 13, 2022 to begin his last journey to his heavenly home. Danny was born August 23, 1949 in Jackson County, Missouri, to William F. Heldstab, Sr. and Marjorie L. Arney-Heldstab.
Danny was a man on the move and a wanderer at heart. Rarely staying in one place for long he spent the majority of his life traveling the country and experiencing life on his own terms. It was only during the last ten years that he would settle down in Oklahoma City to spend time enjoying his family. While he may not have always been around, his love could always be felt.
A man generous with his time, Danny was a proud bell ringer for the Salvation Army for 30 years. He also believed strongly in the mission of St. Jude, being a lifetime member of the charity. But his greatest joy was being able to watch his grandchildren grow up and become successful.
Danny is survived by his children Gary Lee and Missy Kay Heldstab. His brothers Thomas Heldstab and John Heldstab; as well as fifteen grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.
