Daniel Epps Obituary
Danny Epps, 56, was the loving husband of Tina Epps. They were married for 28 years. Danny was the father of Jason (Kayla), Tyler (Dana), and Tessa (Ben). He was the proud grandfather of Caroline. He is survived by his parents, Earl & Margaret Epps, a brother Barry (Jodi), two nephews, many loving cousins, and his beloved dog Little Bit. Danny worked for Furman Golf Course for 8 years. He loved singing; he was a part of the group Ole #4 and the praise band at Porters Chapel United Methodist Church, where he was a member for 25 years. Danny always had a big smile on his face and was always playing pranks. He raised his children in a Christian environment and his love for Jesus was obvious to everyone around him. He was a big Clemson Tiger fan. All who knew him will miss Danny’s infectious laugh and smile. We know he is now rejoicing in Heaven and wouldn’t come back even if he could. He was predeceased in death by his grandparents Earl & Willie Epps. The Family will receive friends Thursday February 04, 2016 from 1:00 – 2:45pm at Dillard Funeral Home with Funeral Services to follow in the Chapel at 3:00pm. Burial will follow at Porter’s Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery.
Contributions may be made to the family, for a Grave Marker to celebrate Danny’s life.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Danny's passing. He was in my chorus at Travelers Rest High School and a pure delight. He had this glorious smile that would make everyone around him smile. We were out of town last week and did not know about the accident until Sunday morning. . Danny was one of those special students to me, with his beautiful voice, winning personality and his love for family, friends and his Lord and Savior. I loved hearing him sing with Barry and his cousins.
Malcolm and I send our deepest sympathy to the entire family. We love you and we are praying for you.

I've sat here and pondered what to say, and how to collect my thoughts long enough to say how i'm feeling, but no words do it justice. Coach Danny was one of the greatest men I've ever met. His laughter and smile could make the worst situations better and the darkest days brighter. I will forever be grateful for his love and kindness and the lessons he taught me on and off the field. I'd do anything to have him back for one more day. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Love you all.
