Danny McHatton Obituary

Danny McHatton
August 18, 1946 - June 10, 2025
Our family man left this plain to join his sweetheart in the ever after at the age of 78 on June 10th, 2025, in San Antonio.
Danny McHatton was a devoted husband, proud father of 2, and a rascally middle child of 3.
He came from humble beginnings with a large extended family growing up in small town El Dorado, Kansas. He was a young lifeguard, high school wrestling champ and most honorably, a Major in the Air Force. He touched soil in all 50 states and a handful of countries around the world, retiring and spending his golden years in Texas.
He never ran out of mischief whether creating fun party games, scary haunted houses, or covert rubber band gun operations. He loved being outdoors and was always engineering some project or 20! He was ever the provider for his family and provided many adventures and life stories we will forever share in his memory.
He is survived by his brother, Mike McHatton; son, Robert McHatton; daughter, Chris McHatton; granddaughters, Shyanne & Aralynn; and great grandchildren; Remington & Lyla. Danny is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Alyson McHatton; father, Leo McHatton; sister, Karen Kester; and mother, Nina McHatton.
A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at Porter Loring Mortuary North, 2102 North Loop 1604 East, San Antonio, TX 78232.
Military Honors & Interment will be held on Monday, July 14, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, 1520 Harry Wurzbach Rd, San Antonio, TX 78209.
In honor of all his furry friends over the years, but especially his Rascal , in lieu of flowers please donate to SNIPSA.

Danny and I were neighbors for 20 years. We shared some great talks and great laughs, good times that I will miss dearly. Danny was a good man who believed in the golden rule. Rest in peace my friend.

I always enjoyed metal detecting in Danny and Alyson's yard searching for coins over the years. My condolences to the family.
