Danny was born in Etowah County and lived most of his life in Hokes Bluff. He graduated from Hokes Bluff High School in 1959, where he met and married the love of his life, Peggy Sims, in 1960. They lived in Hokes Bluff until 1962. They then moved to Mableton, Ga., where they made many new friends and remained friends with people who had moved there from Hokes Bluff. Danny worked for Southeastern Drywall as foreman for many years. He was a member of Gordon Road Baptist Church and of Austell Masonic Latham Lodge No. 12 F&A.M. While living there in 1977, they decided to move back to their roots in Hokes Bluff, the old Hamilton home place. He was employed with Boatner Construction until his retirement in 2003.
Danny was a member of Midway Baptist Church, where he served as deacon and Sunday school teacher of teens and adults. Studying the Bible and teaching was his passion. He liked to garden and share what God blessed him with. He also liked to fish with his friends and cheer the Bama football team to a win with his family.
Danny was preceded in death by his beloved granddaddy, Alon Gunter; loving parents, Hobart and Cordeal Hamilton; mother-in-law and father-in-law, B.H. and Gertrude Sims; sister-in-law, Henri Hill Hamilton; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
