Joseph LYON Obituary

LYON, Joseph Daniel "Danny" 76, of Parrish, Florida began a new journey on May 19, 2024. He is now riding his bike in the heavens, no longer restricted to the confines of Earth. He was surely greeted by God and by his family and friends who had gone before him. There will be a lot of story-telling and laughter. Danny felt that the most important thing that he had done in his life was being a Marine and serving our country in Vietnam. After all of the pain and suffering, Danny was still a Loyal Marine through and through. He immensely enjoyed the many road trips with his wife, Anna Ruth exploring our beautiful country. But his true passion was their home and land on the Manatee River. He enjoyed and respected the wildlife that would often visit. He was a hard worker who was happiest working outside, especially if it involved using his John Deere tractor. Danny was kind, generous, intelligent, witty, funny, respectful, a good friend, and a joy to be around. He will sorely be missed. Danny was born September 9, 1947 in Owensboro, Kentucky to John Peterson Lyon and Ruth Helen Newton Lyon. He graduated form Owensboro Catholic High and attended Brescia University. He is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Anna Ruth McNulty Lyon; his brother, Larry Lyon (Gene); his sister, Mary Ruth Shepler, all of Owensboro; his many in-laws who he loved as his brothers and sisters; and his many nieces and nephews. If you loved Danny and our country that he ultimately died for, he asked that you do whatever you have to do to protect our democracy. He did. Celebration of Life services will be held Saturday, June 8, 2024, 10 am in the chapel at Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle, 5815 5th. Avenue N., St. Petersburg, FL 33710, followed by a Reception at The St. Petersburg Lions Club Beach House, 9300 W. Gulf Blvd., Treasure Island, FL 33706.
