Danny is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Cathy Parks; children: Jennifer Culver and Christopher Parks; grandchildren: Matthew, Heather and Conner Culver; his adoring dog, Chloe; and many more loving family and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Jimmy.
