Officer Down Memorial Page

Danny turned 31 on June 5, 1974, we celebrated 9 years together on June 8th, and his life was given in service on June 28th of that same year. Danny had such wonderful plans for our lives. He loved being a police officer. He worked his way from a patrol officer with such commitment and dedication to be a captain ofter only 10 years on the force.

I am proud that I was Danny's wife, he was such an honorable man. He was honest, hard working, kind and gentle and had the most wonderful sense of humor. It was hard to be mad at him. He made everyone laugh and feel comfortable to be around him.

I miss Danny. We had two beautiful children together that made life complete. Our daughter Stephanie lives in Florida and has five wonderful boys. She and her husband, John, live very busy lives.

Steve and Norma live in San Antonio. Steve is a federal officer and has three great children, two daughters and a son. I married Randy Powell in Richardson, TX. Randy has been a wonderful step dad to our children. They have much love and respect for him. He always allowed them to talk about their dad and how they felt. Randy and I have a daughter, Jennifer, who lives in Dallas with her husband Jeremy and their two precious daughters.

Danny left a great legacy for his children by leading the life he did. Thank you all for the kind words about Danny and for sharing with his family.
