Danny Hopper Jr., 57, of Memphis, Tennessee, passed away on April 9, 2025. He left behind a loving wife of 32 years, Nadine Hopper; son Danny Ray Hopper III (Megan); son Tyler Ray Hopper; daughter Jennifer Rae Thornton (Samual); son Cole Ray Hopper; and daughter Stephanie Rae Hopper. He also leaves his two wonderful granddaughters, Annalee Grace Hopper and Kayce Ray Hopper, his dog Biscuit, sister Kimberly Kobeck, and his mother, Gladys (Jean) Hopper. He was preceded in death by his father, Danny Hopper Sr..
Although we loved him dearly, we couldn't make him stay. Danny will be missed beyond words by family and friends near and far. Danny lived life to the fullest. To know Danny was to love him, and the world will never be the same without his independent spirit. He was known for his love of fishing, hunting, 4-wheeler riding, and Harley-riding with his sons and friends. He fiercely loved his family and would do anything for them. He will be greatly missed by his friends and family and will live on in the hearts of everyone that knew him. "It is not the length of life, but the depth of life" - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
