Danny Leake Obituary
Danny was born on August 30, 1953 in Dallas, TX to Margie and Wilbur Leake. After high school, he proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Later he worked at apartments doing maintenance work. He will be remembered as a man of few words, laid back and always willing to help anybody in whatever way possible. He was loved by many family and friends. He was most proud of being a grandpa to seven grandchildren who he loved dearly.
Danny is survived by his son, Danny Leake Jr. of Greenville, TX; daughter, Heather Pratt of Emory, TX and his seven grandchildren.
