So sorry to hear of Danny’s passing. The last time I visited with Danny was at my brother Danny’s funeral, it had been a long time but that visit brought back fond memories of time spent with Uncle Rex and Aunt Mary and the boys. God’s blessings to his entire family. May Danny rest in peace.
Danny was more of a brother than he was a cousin. Patty, Donna and myself grew up with Aunt Mary and Uncle Rex and the boys. They never had girls and we didn’t have boys so we shared families with each other. We all have so many wonderful memories of the Ryans and the Dadys going to the zoo, picnicking, Uncle Rex plugging watermelons, them coming to California and going to the beach, the weenie roasts (a gillion at least), Danny letting us put curlers in his hair, painting his fingernails, putting makeup on him. All the while never complaining. In the past few years I have been lucky enough to see Danny every year that I brought mom back to visit. Danny will be missed by all of us and to his immediate family we send our love. I know that mom (Aunt Dot) was so happy that she got to talk to him last week. She had him in her prayers every day.
Danny .. Gonna miss you buddy … One of my 5 brothers God chose to bless me and my sisters with .. LOL .. Danny was always the one that let me sleep with him when we were kids .. Even though there was a 99% chance I was gonna pee to bed .. He didn’t care! That’s the way he was, always there when you needed him! Never ever judgmental .. None of the Dady’s have ever! Don’t get to see everyone as much as we’d like, grow up and move away, but talk every day or once a year, no difference! Boys, ladies, kids I’m so so sorry, there will never be another! That laugh! I’m gonna miss your face! Your bear hugs! You’re how you doing and really wait to listen! Love you always and forever! We’ll see each other again, no doubt about that! Donna

Danny will be missed by all who knew him.
His kind spirit…always had time to listen to anyone who needed someone to talk to… He did what he said and said what he did… I just wonder how many birthday cakes and cards he sent in his life?…one of the great ones has passed… we are all richer to have known him…
I didn’t know Danny that well since our age differences meant we didn’t grow up together. However I got to talking to Danny at family functions more the last 10 years, Jack & Betty’s 50th anniversaries & the annual Easter egg hunt. Something Danny told me a couple of years ago really stuck with me. He was having some health problems but he was in great spirits & said, “Well we knew some of the things we did as teenagers & young adults weren’t the most healthy of choices but I don’t have any regrets doing them.” He lived life the way he wanted to. I think that helps this be more of a celebration of a life well lived and not just a mourning of a death. Mourning is part of the process but remember all the good times & celebrate the life.
Danny was an awesome friend. He loved Ford Mustangs. Driving the Mustang just won’t be the same without him around. Danny faced his health problems head on. He told the doctors to get after it when they told him he needed treatment.
We used to visit with each other for hours.
I remember working on a truck for him late one night so he could roll out the next day. My wife came home and saw me under the truck and said, what is the matter wasn’t the bed comfortable enough for you? I can still hear Danny laughing in my head. We had some really great times together.
I miss you Danny and i will never forget you.
