We fondly remember Danny at church and seeing that awesome smile on his face! He always had a kind word for everyone. Although our paths haven’t crossed in quite some time, his laughter and smile and the work he did in our parish as a Knight will never be forgotten. God bless you Danny and your whole family!

Danny and I met at Paris High School many years ago. He was a good, loyal friend. Although life took us on different journeys to where we didn't see each other, I had recently found he was still around and had sent him a friend request on FB. He didn't respond. I'll see him again in the next life. My condolences to his family and friends.

Danny was my friend from the time we met in grade school at First Ward through Paris High and then a lot of years working together at B&W. We even did our drivers ed driving together with Coach Johnny Crawford. I will miss his great sense of humor he always had when we got to visit.
