Danley, Jr., Frank Edward “Eddie”

Eddie was born March 28, 1952, in New Orleans, and passed peacefully, surrounded by family, and has gone to his eternal home with God on November 10, 2025, in Covington, Louisiana. He was a resident of Folsom. Eddie was a member of First Baptist Church, Ponchatoula, where he served on the Board of Deacons and was a dedicated choir member where singing was his ministry, and he used his voice to praise God. He was also a member of Red Stick Sound, a men’s acapella group that met weekly. He was a graduate of Acadia Baptist Academy in Eunice and attended Southeastern Louisiana University. Eddie retired as a supervisor with the Louisiana State Department of Children and Family Services. He recently said that his children were his best friends, but he had a special joy for time spent with his grandchildren. His hobbies included singing, traveling and following any LSU sport (Geaux Tigers!). Eddie had too many friends to count because he’s never met a stranger. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Pam Swede Danley; children, James Adam Danley, Sr. (Carrie), Sarah Frannon Hicks (Scott), Blake Edward Danley, Sr. (Elizabeth), Eric Alexander Danley (Sierra), and Philip Eli Danley (Hannah); grandchildren, James Danley, Jr.(Hailey), Teddy Dupré, Frannon Dupré, Madison Danley(Tori), Blake “Beaux” Danley, Jr., Ethan Danley, Dera-se Hicks, Elvin Hicks, Franklin Hicks, Molly Hicks, Stevie Jolene Danley, Samantha Falgout(Jacob), and Breanna Matherne(Ryder); mother, Elsie McElveen Danley; and sisters, Ruth Stagg (Robert), and Molly Travis (Brian);Brother-in-law, Ron Swede.
