Danny spent a wonderful childhood and young adulthood on a family farm, where many Wingo pets lived a happy life. He attended John Tyler Community College before joining the Coast Guard. He returned home to start his career at DuPont as a pipe insulator, retiring after 43 years.
Danny and Patrice traveled the world together and enjoyed many family travels with their children Cole and Michelle all over the USA. Danny enjoyed horse racing and traveling to various tracks and races, and motorcycle riding in his younger days. He enjoyed other hobbies such as coaching baseball and basketball, participating in Brunswick Stew fundraisers, and solving the occasional Sudoku puzzle.

Sending love and strength to our Virginia family from Florida. Danny was a loving, colorful character who always brought life and humor into any situation. Fond memories of visits by him, my sister Patrice, Cole and Michelle to our various homes around the country during Air Force years. Rest in Peace, my friend!
