Danny had a zest for life that was evident in his favorite pastimes. He enjoyed spending time with his family & friends. Sharing laughs over a few cold ones and gathering around a good campfire. He was an avid sports enthusiast. In his younger life he was a talented athlete. He loved baseball, hockey and was often found cheering for his favorite teams.

He often lived by the motto: “for the love of sports” and regularly expressed his appreciation for life with the words “God bless you”.

Danny’s true legacy lies in the impact he had on those around him. With his kind heart, goofy sense of humor and unwavering respect for others, he touched more lives than he likely realized. His ability to offer good advice and share a laugh made him one of a kind. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
