Kenneth Walter Danner was a loving husband to Pamela Danner for 61 years.
Kenneth was born in Detroit in 1946 and graduated from Redford High School in 1964. He worked at Detroit Diesel Corp. for 5 years before leaving to become a Detroit Police Officer. Kenneth served the citizens of Detroit for 35 years until he retired in 2004. Throughout his lengthy career as a Detroit Police Officer he was a member of the Detroit Police Marching Band, playing the Trombone and Baritone.
Kenneth was loved by everyone around him. He returned this love in full. He took care of his family, friends, the family pets, and all of God's Creatures. He was always smiling, listening to music, and offering up words of wisdom.
He is preceded in death by his Mother and Father (Dorothy and Hubert Danner) and his sister (Elaine Michaud). He is survived by his wife Pamela Danner, brother Edward Danner (Jan), three children Cristy Vargas, Kenneth Danner Jr., and Kevin Danner, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
