Danny always had time to help other people and never expected anything in return. Nothing stayed broken for long if he had any say in the matter. They say the happiest time of owning a boat is when you buy it and when you sell it...not true. Thanks to Danny owning a boat has been nothing but good times for me, including the too many times to count when he would show me up on the wakeboard. Danny had so many diverse and artistic talents but he leaves me with a clear understanding of solid work ethic and giving more than you receive. My prayers go out to all of Danny’s family and friends.

Danny was a great person and one of the hardest working people that I knew. He loved Austin and was a great father. He was always the first to say "I 'll do that, no problem" or "how can I help". We lost a special person and he will be missed,
