His family moved from Okay, Oklahoma to Porter, Oklahoma when Danny was young. When he graduated from Porter High School in 1980 Danny was recruited by Connors to play baseball, but he decided to attend Northeastern State University where he studied history.

He retired from a twenty plus years career as a banquet and event manager at Western Hills Lodge in Sequoyah State Park.

Danny had fond memories of working with his grandfather, Lowell, to train quarter horses to race. He also raised short hair pointers and enjoyed quail hunting and fishing.

His nieces, Erin and Ali, grew up knowing how much their Uncle Danny loved them and was devoted to making memories they will always cherish.
