Danny lived his life to the fullest and loved everyone who knew him unconditionally. He always left you with a smile on your face and you always hated to see him leave. He lived every day as if it was his last and had no regrets. I can only hope to someday live my life the way he did, living every day to the fullest!

To the family,
I am so sorry I couldn't be there to pay my respects to one of the best men who ever walked this Earth. Uncle Danny will always hold a special spot in my heart. I can remember staying the night and the house and him making us pancakes in the morning. He was the only one who could get the edges crispy! I have so many fond memories of him and will never forget his loving nature! He was so funny and always knew how to make someone feel better no matter what the situation. I know he is in a better place with momo and pawpaw and little Mattix looking down on us smiling. My heart is hurting right now for the lose but it is also rejoicing knowing he is no longer suffering and living his eternal life in Heaven! I love you Uncle D and will see you in Heaven. I send my love to Louisiana and please know I'm there in your hearts. God bless you all family and I love you.
