Danny Cornell Obituary

On December 25, 2023, Danny Cornell bid farewell to the world, leaving behind a legacy marked with valor, adventure, and boundless love. Born on July 17, 1944, Danny's journey through life was as vibrant as it was impactful.
Danny's odyssey began with his service in the U.S. Navy, where he displayed courage and dedication. Later, he embraced the open roads as a devoted truck driver for Farmer Brothers, traversing the country with steadfast determination.
His zest for life knew no bounds, reflected in his diverse interests and pursuits. Danny found camaraderie and purpose in organizations like the Elks Lodge, Shriners, and the American Legion, where he served with distinction, leaving an enduring impression on all he encountered.
Lake Havasu held a special place in Danny's heart, where he found solace and joy amidst the tranquil waters, indulging his passion for boating and the beauty of nature.
An avid pilot and musician, Danny soared through the skies and enchanted audiences with his musical talents, leading his own band and embracing karaoke nights with infectious enthusiasm.
His adventurous spirit extended to the open road, where he embarked on thrilling bike runs with his motorcycle club, camping under the stars and RVing through picturesque landscapes, finding serenity in the great outdoors.
For 37 years, Havasu, Arizona, was Danny's cherished home, where he cultivated lasting friendships and made countless memories. His presence enriched the community, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.
Danny is preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Helen Cornell, and his late wife, Linda Cornell.
He is survived by his daughters Holly Bombard, LeAnna Mueller, April Nava, stepson Ronny Conway, stepdaughters Debbie Ashton, Sharon Fitzgerald, sister Linda Trumble, sister Beth Cornell, brother Darryl Cornell, and a host of grandchildren: Racine, Blake, Nicholas, Sydney, Hailey, Johnny, Reese, Athena, Tori, Evan, Caleb, Daniel, Jordan, and Gabriel.
Though he may have taken his final flight, his spirit will continue to soar in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
