Linda and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband, Danny.
He was a remarkable man. I have so many fond memories of him growing up one street over from me in Kirkwood and attending Murphy. May God fill you and your family with His Grace.

So sorry I missed the service, I didn’t even know he passed until today. I worked on Danny’s homes since Wade Johnson and profile homes. I’ve known Danny over 30 years and never had a harsh word for him or from him and that’s an accomplishment in the home building business. I will miss him, even though we’ve been out of touch the past several years, he fought hard, but thankfully the Lord took him home to glory and he’s no longer in pain. A truly good man and it was a pleasure working for him for so many years. Praying for peace over the family.
