Daniel Austin Aldridge

Daniel Aldridge, age 77, passed away on October 20, 2024. Dan was born on March 5, 1947 in Columbus, Ohio to the late Robert and Emma (Harris) Aldridge. After High School, Daniel enlisted in the Marines, and served honorably, and he was a member of the Marine Corps League. After his military service, he worked for a short time at Jefferey Mining and Manufacturing. Daniel then decided to make his living as a car salesman, ending his career at Lindsay Acura.
Daniel was known for his love of fast cars, and motorcycles. He also loved inland boating, enjoying the waters of Lake Cumberland and Alum Creek. He was a truly unique individual. He loved telling jokes, even if he were the only one laughing. His loving, caring, and unique personality will surely be missed.
Daniel was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Emma May Aldridge; and three sisters. He is survived by his wife, Debora (Steen)) Aldridge; his sons, Troy Aldridge (Sonja), Robert Aldridge, Jeffery Aldridge, and Charles Hodson; his special friends, Steve Burch, Steve Cantrill, Jeff Wright and Mike Faiella and a host of other friends.
