Danny was a dedicated employee at Corning in Harrodsburg from which he retired in the fall of 2025 after 25 years of service. Danny had a servant’s heart and often provided food & clothing for those in need. Not only did Danny willing give his money and abilities to help others,but he also gave his time so those around him knew how much he cared. Danny enjoyed martial arts, fishing, Keno, shopping at Crazy John’s Discount Store, cooking, spending time driving the backroads in the Mitia, almost all sports and watching TV, especially UK basketball.In his younger years, Danny was an accomplished athlete in basketball andbaseball and later traveled the country with the Travel League Softball Circuit.

Danny beamed with pride over Jude who made him “Granddan” and was thankful for every birthday he spent with him. Danny enjoyed Tuesdays with Brenson and Finn getting frozen yogurt or watching a movie, field trips with Elara and looked forward to the best hugs from Junebug. He is proud of all his grandchildren and knows they will grow up to be productive and unique adults, and his legacy will continue through all of them. His latest granddaughter, Mira will never remember him,but family will share memories with her so that it seems she’s always known herGranddan. Family became more important to him over the years and looked forward to holidays, birthdays, or just any reason to spend time with those he loved.Danny will be missed by many, including his pets at home: his 3 dogs Sadie Mae, Winston, and Nutmeg and his cat, Buddy named after his grandfather. He would always say, “Everyone needs a “Buddy” in their life”.

Danny had rededicated his life to the Lord in 2025 and was a faithful member of Lancaster First Assembly, where he enjoyed cooking for Celebrate Recovery and various other church activities. He loved going to church and learned so much about the Lord from Pastor Wendell Johnson. He would share the link so others could watch the live services from LFA with his friends.He loved Jesus and wanted to make Jesus happy! His favorite hymn was Amazing Grace.
