Danny was preceded in death by his daughter, Alicia Gray; stepdaughter, Charisse Azevedo; father, Robert Gray; brother, Tony Gray; grandparents, and many "brothers" and friends. Danny is survived by his daughter, Cheyenne; stepsons, Joseph, and Michael Azevedo; stepdaughter, Ashley; mother, Sharon Gray; brother, Kevin Gray; sister, Vicky Rhea; grandchildren, Nolan Kirsch, Alisse Fichter, Kinley Azevedo, and a large extended family and friends.
