Danny was born March 19, 1953 to Jeff and Inez Givens. Anyone who met Danny will be quick to tell you about his quick wit and ever-present sense of humor. He was a Godly man who loved the Lord, his wife, his kids, and all of his many grandkids.

Survivors include his wife, Anita; his children, Kasey Wood (James "JP", Emily and Allison), Chasity Sanders (Cierra, RJ), Jeff Givens (Crimson), Chris and Stephanie Thomas (Christopher, Ashley, Nathan, Madison), Nick Thomas (Anthony and Amya), and his 3 great grandkids. Survivors also include his sister, Jeanie and brother-in-law Nikki Crockett; his sister-in-law, Becky Givens, along with many beloved extended family members and friends.
