On August 17, 1968, Danny married the love of his life, Jaquita Faye Carmichael, with whom he built a life centered on love, faith, and family. Their union was a testament to enduring love and commitment, a partnership that brought joy, strength, and a beautiful family.

As "Dad" and "Papa," Danny was his family’s biggest fan. If there was a game or match, he was there cheering, supporting, and even giving the umpire a few lessons on the difference between a ball and a strike. His pancakes were legendary, and his kitchen was always a place of warmth, laughter, and good food, where no one ever left hungry.
