Danny was a University of Texas Alumni and a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity where he made many close relationships. After college he returned to Abilene, Texas and opened Abilene Business Equipment where he served as President from 1954-2013 when he retired. Danny married wife Judy on March 4, 1969. While serving as President Danny received many distinguished awards for his achievements in sales and service in his industry. He was also a long standing member of the men’s club Interact where he enjoyed connecting with other Abilene business professionals. Danny was always a passionate businessman but his greatest passion was for his family and friends.

Danny enjoyed hunting, traveling, and watching children and grandchildren play sports. He loved life and shared life with those dearest to him. Those closest would describe him as being patient, caring, sweet, and honest. Danny will be greatly missed, and he will never be forgotten.

He was preceded in death by his parents Margaret and H.G. Daniels Sr. Danny is survived by his wife Judy and their three children, Kim Carleton and husband Phil of Midland and their children McKenzie, Madison and Sam. Son Brad Daniels and his wife Tara of Aledo and their children Will, Brooks, and Hunt, and Hunter Daniels and wife Betsy of Corpus Christi and their children Margaret and Archer. Many positive attributes have been passed on to his children and grandchildren. They will continue to celebrate and carry on his quiet simplistic way enjoying life to the fullest.

Our family would like to give special thanks to the nurses Glenna Glover, Leslie Boggess, Donna Masters, and Theresa Sides of Kinder Hearts Hospice Care. Their comfort and compassion over the last year was above and beyond reproach.

In lieu of flowers the family would like to request donations be made to the Gerhart Hall, Church of the Heavenly Rest. Condolences may be offered to the family online at www.pbfuneraldirectors.com.
