  1. I think one of the memories of when I was younger was when I got to go to a baseball game that Danny was in and about a third of the game someone hit a pop up straight above Danny’s head and the sun was right in his eyes and the ball came down and got his collar bone.He was taken out of the game and away to the hospital. He was just brused but, That was the first and last baseball game I got to go too.Our Mom enjoyed watching his basketball games.So I would go with her to a few of them. He was a great athlete in many sports. Seem like everyone loved Big D He will be truely missed by all that knew him… I love you Danny even though I didn’t say it near enough. See you again someday.

  29. My heart and prayers go out to the Dunn family. Danny will be truley missed at DFAS’s Finance Center.I have worked with Danny for about 9 years now, and just about every morning as I would walk into work, Danny would be there to greet me with some silly comment like, “It must be nice to be able to come to work whenever you want, or good morning part timer”. He always made me laugh at whatever he would say. I will truley miss Danny and his silly personality.

  31. Danny was loved and appreciated by so many people. He was a Big Brother to so many more of us. As a fellow Veteran he always made me feel as part of his extended family. As he was also a brother of mine, and ours.

  32. Danny was my uncle; one of my favorite memories is when I was in high school and Danny was stationed in Indianapolis at Fort Ben. I was in a vocal competition and he did not have to come but he was there for moral support – I was proud that he showed up to hear me sing but I think it made me more nervous. But I was still happy he came…just to hear his niece sing. Thanks Danny

  34. Danny truly took a chance on life, but maintained values of families and friends. Always willing to help other veterans and members of military organizations. We at Post 495 will truly miss Danny and what he brought to us , each time he was in the post!

  35. My deepest condolences to Danny’s family. I will keep each of you in my thoughts and prayers. I have many fond memories of working with Danny and will miss his smile and cheerful greeting each morning.

  37. The White Chariot

    During your journey on your final flight home.
    White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
    To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
    To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
    He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
    As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.

    Danny accomplished many things and was well respected by his co-workers and peers

  55. Anita and family please accept our deepest condolences. As you know my military relationship and personal relationship with you both was extensive. The Dunn family certaintly can be proud of the outstanding contributions to this community; State and Nation as both a military family and a professional family who continued to support our Nation. I am deeply saddened with Dannys passing. However, as long as I live, I will have many wonderful memories of Danny and the Dunn Family. Take comfort in knowing that Danny is at peace and in the care and comfort of the all loving hands of God.

  56. Dad was always trying to be one of the kids….most of the time mom had three sons, not just me and Robert. Dad and mom both say the boys as their pride and joy….eventhough all the friends saw them as mom and dad….that’s a lot of kids…TRUST ME. Dad taught me how to swing a bat, and how to respect my elders….mom said how to throw a football as well. I would like to send thanks to all that were able to attend the services and to those that have and will keep us in their prayers and thoughts. I can still hear dad yelling at us kids for doing something wrong…eventhough most of the time he started it. “Dad I’ll keep checking the oil in the car. And that left front tire, too.” Hope to see YOU again. By the way I’m the one that still has to look at him in the mirror everyday for the rest of my life……The oldest! That’s the best thing he could have left me.

    All 12 of the dogs will miss you, and don’t forget Smokey Joe From Kokomo!!!!!!!!

  61. Danny Jo you will be missed by all. You have a big heart and would do anything for everyone. You were a fun brother-in-law to be around. The family will cherish alot of memories when they were all in Germany with you, Anita and the boys.
