Danny would always take the opportunity to share his life experiences as a guide to those around him with a path to improve their challenges. He was a dad, coach, and counselor to so many more than his children. Danny always had compassion for those less fortunate and took every opportunity to remind us to be thankful for what we have. He was a hard worker both as a revered HVAC technician and farmer. Danny was known for his world-famous tomatoes, hot peppers, and spaghetti sauce.

Danny will be missed by many and has left a void in our lives, but we know he is dancing with the rest of the family as they all look down on us as heaven gains another Angel.

Calling hours will be at Newcomer Funeral Home, Akron, Ohio on 17 April from 12:00 to 1:00pm. Funeral (Graveside) will immediately follow in precession to Green Lawn Memorial Cemetery, Akron, Ohio.
