Danny Joe was a very Christian man who would go out of his way to help anyone with a problem. He always reached for his Bible for guidance and answers. He enjoyed being outdoors whether he was hunting, fishing, spending time with his family or working. His favorite hobby was working on old trucks. No matter what he had planned, he would stop what he was doing if Aaron, his brother, Ray, Chandler, or Payton needed him. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle with his wife, Mary. He loved to cook or try any type of recipe. He always had a grill ready to fire up, whether at work or at home.

Danny Joe's true passion was spending time with his wife, Mary, and his dog, Zena. They went fishing, hunting, or riding their bikes. While fishing, he would always try out new lures or jigs he had either bought or made. Danny Joe was always on the hunt for that trophy bass. He enjoyed life to the fullest.
