He attended Halfway Tree Primary School. Danny was a humble, hardworking, very punctual person... Danny loved music especially old-time reggae. His music system was life to him. He loved his 80's and 90's shows like Wrestling, Three's Company and many more. He loved to cook. His favorite dish was oxtail, and he loved soup. Brown was his favorite color, and his laughter would light up a room.
“Love at first sight" Danny and Linnette who he calls Linn, met at Nellie's shop, a friend of Linnette. When Danny and Linn met they became inseparable ever since. Danny and Linnette were married for 39 years and had 3 children, a set of twins: Shelena and Shaun. who were born in Jamaica, West Indies, and Simone who was born in the U.S.

For many years now Danny had several health issues, but he did not give up, he had a very persevering spirit during the time of his illness, Linn was the perfect wife that God knew Danny would need during his time on Earth. She dedicated her time, patience, and love to him. He also was supported by his children and grandchildren.
