Visit the Halo Cremations website to view the full obituary.

Danny McCracken, a shining star, passed away at the age of 77, leaving behind a legacy of courage and dedication. He was a proud member of the Class of 1966 at Pleasure Ridge Park High School. He bravely served four years in the U.S. Air Force before joining the Navy, where he selflessly fueled jets on the aircraft carriers Saratoga and Enterprise. His remarkable journey eventually led to a well-deserved retirement from the Navy.

He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara; his children, Dana, Beth, and Jesse; his grandchildren, Ryan, Dustin, Miranda, and Josh; and his great-grandchildren, Evie, Noah, and Lincoln, who will forever cherish his memory.
