  • About Danny

    Danny was born and raised in Dekalb County, TN. However, he has been residing in Warren County for the last 50 years. Danny worked in the insurance business for 30 years before joining us at Gardens of Memory. He and his wife have two children together and one grandchild. Danny is a proud deacon at his church. He enjoys volunteering with projects and Meals on Wheels and public speaking. Danny says, “I take pride in everything I do, and I like things to be done well, on time, and in order, and I strive to do it the best I can. My lord is first, my family is second, people are third, and I am last. I really love helping people. I wish everything could be as easy for our families as it can be, given the circumstance they are in in with the death of someone they love. I don’t only want to be their funeral director, but also a friend.”
