Mike Rucker officiating.  Interment will follow at Crestview Memorial Park.

Danny was born on June 21, 1960 in Wichita Falls to the late Danny Jo and Patsy June (Fowler) Henson.  He was the middle child of two sisters, Peggy only 11 months older than him, ad Becky coming 10 years after.  He was the perfect fit.  His daddy called him George, but his sister gave him a nickname that stuck forever, “Bubba”.  Danny’s smile could light up a dark room and his free spirit could embrace you like a warm hug.  He played varsity football at High School where he was known for his long red hair.  

Danny began working for his father at Henson Auto Salvage 50 years ago, when he was only 15, and he never missed a day of work.  He greatly enjoyed gathering with family and friends, stock car racing, and shooting pool.  Danny was only married once for 17 years to Rachel, where he became an amazing father to his two kids, Daniel & Dalaney, but it is without a doubt his nieces and nephews loved their uncle Bubba.  Danny has been a hard-working, wheeling and dealing man his whole life.  Danny was a simple man, but there was nothing simple about his unconditional love.  He was an amazing father, son, brother, uncle, and papa.  He will be missed by many, and always loved by many more.

He was preceded in death by his father; and grandparents Sterlin and Alma Henson, and Charles and Mildred Fowler.

Danny is survived by mother Patsy June Henson; children Daniel Henson and Dalaney Henson; grandchildren Koby Holmes, Nyla Holmes, and Dani Jo Henson; sisters Peggy Long, and Becky Henson-Bolf; nieces and nephews Lacy Owen, Benny Long Jr., Clayton Bolf, Cody Bolf, Kelsey Long, Leighton Owen, and Harper Bolf; along with many life-long friends.
