He set an example by showing his love and giving his time to friends and loved ones. Through all of his life’s challenges, he was optimistic and full of hope.

A person’s belief in people is not one’s salvation, but love for and belief in your Savior is;   Danny believed that.  He believed your good deeds will not save you, but your belief on the Lord Jesus Christ will.  He may not have shown it, but he believed it. He was a loving man who shared his love with all mankind. He was a blessed person, and through his love, he blessed many others. 

His memory will be carried forever in the hearts of his family and friends.
