I am deeply saddened to know that Danny Wayne has passed. Danny was such a kind, sweet, caring, and loving person. His artwork was so touching. He was a genuine person with a sweet smile. One of God's angels.

What Can I say? Danny was the person that I most looked to growing up in Odessa. He was the teacher who I learned many of my talents from. He was responsible for the career that I now have, because he got me my job in the printing industry and taught me more than I could ever repay him. Danny was also one of the best friends that anyone could ever have. He was always a giving person to anyone that would need it. He was my brother in all senses of the word. He helped me learn how to do things the right way, this goes for everything from how to mix the right paint to get that just right color, to how to get through all the toubles a teenager had to face in life. I will miss Danny more than I can put into words. I can say for sure that he will never be forgotten his spirit and soul will be with us forever. We all Love you Danny Wellington Speegle!!!

Danny was my dearest friend. He was like as big brother to me. My days as a youth were enriched by his friendship. He helped me develop and grow in so many ways. I owe him my deepest gratitude for being kind and generous to me when I had so little to offer him in return. I have spent time on the phone with other friends of ours the last two days talking to them about Danny. Everybody I spoke to had the same thing to say, that Danny had an everlasting effect on there lives. No one will ever take his place, he was an original, a one of a kind person that has and will always remain in my heart and mind. God blessed him with talents like no other and we were blessed to have had him be a part of our lives. Heaven will now be enriched by your presence. Bless you my friend. Love Doug
