Danny’s greatest joy was attending and supporting his kids and grandkids sporting and school events. Danny was an avid Iowa Hawkeyes and Chicago Cubs Fan. He played baseball for The University of Iowa, that led him to many years of coaching Little League and Pony League Baseball. He also spent years Umpiring Girls High School Softball. Aside from the sporting events side of him, he was a Spokesperson for United Way, President of Bettendorf Booster Club, President of Lions Club, and President of Plus 60 Club. Danny was a lifelong member of St. Johns United Methodist Church and throughout his life he was very active, including holding several leadership roles. Those who knew Danny well, could find him out on any golf course enjoying a round of golf.

Danny was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Leta, In-Laws, Wilber and Pauline Canaday, and a granddaughter, Nikki Ann White.
