Danny Lived in East Nashville most of his life on S.14th with his Grandmother, Margret. He attended Stratford High School in the late eighties and then later in life he completed courses to obtain his GED in 2001. He had a higher score than 98% of seniors in Tennessee High schools of the last four years. He was very intelligent and knowledgeable. His main occupation was a Printer and Paper cutter, working mainly at Sanders Manufacturer Company and Allen Printing Company for many years.

A Friendly joker boy and man. He had his special sense of humor and loved to share it with anyone around him. He never met a stranger. A prankster who would go the extra mile to achieve his pranks, some of which went far enough to make it across the news. He was very particular in what he liked and how he liked it. Fast cars were no exception. To him they were like water to a fish, he had to have them and he made sure to fix them up just like he wanted including a nice sound system in most of all of them. 

Sports were something he always found a passion in. From the early days of Baseball to NASCAR, all the ways to the Tennessee Titans, Fantasy Football and most of all UT Football. 

His favorite foods were fried Chicken, BBQ Frosty Mourn wieners, cream potatoes and he drank more milk then a cow could produce. 

Places Danny liked were Shelby park (Even in the bad times), the Ocean, especial with wind chimes hanging on the balcony chiming from the ocean breeze and Gatlinburg when the leaves turned in the fall.

He enjoyed thrill rides, scrolling through funny tiktok videos, watching movies at home on the biggest television screen he could, going to the theaters and sleeping with his fan of 4 years (a box fan, just to be clear). He always wanted to bring someone along to enjoy the things he did so he could see the expressions on their face, feel their adrenaline or talk about how it went with them. It didn’t matter if it was a ride he just got off of or a movie he just went to theaters and saw the night before he wanted to go back with someone else and get that initial thrill feeling vicariously.

Most of all, Danny was American Proud all the way, loved his friends and loved his family more than anything.

He will be greatly missed. Much Love.

(There will be a Celebration of Life for Danny at a later date)
