I never had the pleasure of meeting Danny; but, working with his son-in-law Chris Williams and his grandson Josh Williams I saw a strong Christian family who live each day doing the work that God has intended them to do; and, I know Danny Danny is smiling down on his entire family for continuing the legacy of peace and kindness to all that he built for them to carry on. Welcome Home Danny! We will be with you soon! May God Bless!

As a member of this community who grew up with Danny and his family, I am saddened to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful person. I know you are all heartbroken with the loss of your loved one, but always remember that he is waiting for you in place where you will never have to say goodbye again. God bless each of you as you grieve and heal from your loss.

My heart is at a loss to hear of Dannys passing. I am out of town and so sorry I cant be there to express my sympathies in person to the family. Danny was always such a joy when I did get to see him over the years, he will be truly missed and my prayers are with you & the family in comfort and in the celebration of knowing that God has gained another wonderful angel! Hope he and Daddy wont get into "much" angel mischief together! Please know you're in our thoughts!

Danny's love for everyone was a wonderful example of what God's love is all about. We will never forget the love and support he has shown to all of us. We appreciate him coming to see Aaron baptized and for coming to see Mom in the nursing home. Mom has always loved Danny and has always said he was her favorite nephew. His legacy lives on through his family; he loved every one of you. We will be praying for your peace and comfort in the days ahead. We love each and every one of you,
