Danny was a graduate of Fort Osage High School where he was a star baseball player. He enlisted in the National Guard and graduated from boot camp in September 1977. He worked at Allis Chalmers in Independence, MO.
In 1979, on New Year’s Eve, Danny’s life was forever changed after a devastating car accident left him with a traumatic brain injury; through this Danny had an unwavering strength and fighting spirit to keep living and stay alive.
Danny loved watching the Royals play baseball, listening to music, playing pool, crossword puzzles, chocolate shakes, and celebrating the 4th of July with his family. He had a warm smile and a great laugh.
The last four years Danny lived with his brother Vic and his family. Vic wanted Danny to have fun and enjoy life before he passed. We love you Danny, you will be missed.
