He was always so quick to bring you to see us every time we were down there. He was so generous with his time with you even though we knew he probably didn’t want to. But he was kind like that. I love you sweetie ♥️ Love,

Posted at 16:33h, 12 AugustDanny was one of the kindest guys I’ve ever had the opportunity to know. He would have gave you the shirt off his back if you needed it and then helped you put it on. He will truly be missed by a lot of people. I’m glad I was blessed with the opportunity to call him my brother-in-law.
