Only the fondest of memories have we of Danny. His qualities are reflected in his loving and precious family. His humor only exceeded by his devotion. We treasure our times together and will always remind Deacon and Emilia what a Good and Grand Bobo from which they hail. Blessed wishes Loretta, Alex and Katie.
Loretta, my condolences to you and all of your family. Continue to share the love and memories that you had for each other and know that he will be waiting when the time comes.
Dearest Loretta, Alex and Katie, I will truly miss Danny’s jovial presence on my visits to Dallas and Kansas City. He and Loretta made a perfect pair. I fondly remember him gently teasing me for my southern accent as I tried to deny it. He will be greatly missed. With love and prayers, Teresa
Danny… What a guy!! We loved him! He will
truly be missed! His humor lives on in all of
us! Our deepest sympathies to you Loretta, Al and family!
Danny was a special person who we had to honor of considering part of the family. He will he missed as a great husband, father, grandfather and a friend to many. Love you guys!
Dear Loretta, Alex and Katie – It’s so hard to express how we are feeling at this time – heavy, heavy hearts is what first comes to mind. And yet as sad as we are, I know what we are feeling pales in comparison to what you have felt the last fourteen months, and especially as you said your final goodbyes. We were absolutely in awe of Danny’s grit and determination as he dealt with this terrible disease. But, that was just Danny’s style, to give it his all. We have so many fond memories; too many to even start mentioning. Danny was taken way too young and our prayers are that you find comfort and peace in memories. There is no doubt Danny is now enjoying his reward in heaven, where we will all someday be reunited. Rest in peace, Danny.
We are so sorry to hear of Danny’s passing. He was such a great dad and very supportive to Jackson during those crazy BB days. Our love and blessings to all of you. Danny will be so missed.
Your family is in our prayers. May the Lord cover you with his love and peace.
Our sincere sympathy, thoughts and prayers. Sandy & Bill

Danny Rose was my brother-in-law and one of my favorite people. His sense of humor was unmatched and he easily lit up the room with his presence. Also so incredibly generous. He was loved by the entire family and will be forever missed.
