Danny was an Entrepreneur and later in life he became the owner of Danny’s Tire Service in Amory. He enjoyed working side by side with his brothers at his business.

A true family man, he loved his wife and treasured the simple fellowship of his family and friends. Danny’s granddaughter, Destiny, held a special place in his heart. He loved to fish, hunt, and camp in the woods. Sammy Mitchell was one of Danny’s closest friends, and they solved most of the world’s problems while drinking coffee together.
