An Oroville boy through and through, Danny knew the value of family and hard work from a young age. He began working in his father’s orchard before moving on to work with his mother at the warehouse. When his brother Jack began managing an orchard, Danny went to work with him driving tractor and keeping the machinery running. Broadening his experience, Danny went to work for the Young Adult Conservation Corps program with the Forest Service where he met his wife Georgia. After their marriage, he began driving truck for Chamberlin Distributing and Wilbur Ellis Co. for 20 years and served his community as a volunteer firefighter.

Danny enjoyed spending time with family, especially on the 4th of July and Christmas. His proudest accomplishment was fathering his children: Tommy, Tim, Terry, and Tamara, and cherished spending time with them and his grandchildren: Cian, Arya, Summer, and Malachi as often as possible. Nothing made Danny happier than to sit around the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, and shoot the breeze. Danny could always make you laugh and some of his favorite hobbies were fly fishing with all generations of the family, tying flies and bow hunting.

He will be missed by many.

A celebration of life was held at Deep Bay park on his birthday, July 9, 2022, from 12-2. It will be potluck so bring a favorite dish and stories of Danny.
