Daniel Lee "Danny" Griffith of Crestwood, Ky. passed away Dec. 14, 2021.
He was born Aug. 15, 1982 in Louisville, Ky. Danny was a member of the class of 2000 at Oldham County High School.

Danny was my brother, not biologically but by heart and years of friendship. His passing came so sudden and affected so many that it has left a permanent hole in many of us.
He always had the best bear hugs, he would just engulf you with his massive arm span and was the most giving and loving soul.
Please pray for his family and the many of those suffering his lost.
An extremely bright light has gone out in the world but I find hope in knowing that when I pass I'm sure he will be the first one there standing next to Jesus with his amazing grin and crooked smile.
I love you brother. Until I see you again.
