Danny was born on January 24, 1959, in Tift County to Bernice (Luke) White and the late Leon White. He would tell you he was the favorite. He was blessed to have been able to work at Auto Battery with his family for many years, followed by a career with his friend, Jerry Macri. He was a member of Lighthouse Harbor Worship Center.
He lived a thousand years in the 63 calendar years we had him because he attacked life, grabbed it by it’s lapels, kissed it and swung it back on the dance floor.
From his voice mail message, Dan the hunting fishing man, I’m either checking trail cameras down there in the deer woods or bowed up down there on the river on some of those showdog bream.
In addition to his mother, Danny is survived by his wife, Jo Ford; sons, Ryan White (Larisa), Mitchell White (Angela), Zach White (Alicia), Andrew White, Andrew Reddy (CC); brothers, Jerry White (Deneen) and Leslie White; and his grandchildren, Elijah, Savannah, Luke, ZJ, Aiden, Taylor, Jaiden, AJ, Logan, Brittany and Michael Haymes, Chris and Amber; and his great-grandchildren, Liv and Holden.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Lighthouse Harbor Worship Center, 212 Park Avenue North; Hospice of Tift Area, 618 Central Avenue North, Tifton, GA; or Ebenezer Baptist Church, Ebenezer Church Road, Lenox, GA 31637.
Rest In Peace, Danny and Rise in glory.
