Born May 21, 1950 in Dumas, AR Died December 2, 2017 on Toledo Bend Lake, Sabine Co., Texas Wife: Della Reynolds Woods of Sabine Co., Texas Parents: Wilma A. Blocker (1924-2012) Willie E. Woods (1917-1986) Children: Daughter, and Light of his Heart, Crystal Danee Woods-Dulin and husband John Dulin of Marble Falls, TX. John well filled the role of son. Step-daughter, Tori McRae Bumstead, husband Naval Petty Officer 3rd Class Luke Bumstead of Virginia Beach, VA. Step-grandchildren: Sunny Wilkinson of Colmesneil, Aubrie McRae Bumstead and Tyler Bumstead of Virginia Beach.. Siblings: Linda Lee Bolding Calloway (Andy) of Royal, AR Ricky E. Woods of LaGrange, TX Robert H. Woods (Gail) of Prince George, VA Duane Dennis (1951-1962) Nephews: Rob Calloway, Jon and Jason Woods, Stacy Allison, Regina Turman, Melissa McNeil; Brother-in-Law Delbert Reynolds of Lufkin, Sister-in-Law Ann Kelly of Conroe; along with many great-nieces and nephews; along with great great nieces and nephews. His best friend in life, Kevin Landers. Preceding him in death besides his parents and younger brother are his sister-in-law, Dorothy Woods, nephew David Calloway, Maternal Grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Blocker of Gould, AR; Paternal Grandparent, Harvey Woods of Michigan and Mrs. Luvenia Wilkins Woods Duncan of California, Mother-in-Law Billie Jean McClendon Reynolds of Lufkin, Sister-in-Law Virginia Reynolds Goodwin of Lufkin;and his best friend Dennis McCune of Orange, TX.
Danny Woods born to live outdoors, whether on the water or in the woods. His Pa Blocker taught him to shoot a BB gun when he was 3. Moving from Arkansas to Orange at 6; he rebelled because “they have Indians in Texas”. Growing up on Cow Bayou, his outdoor life was perfect. When he told a story of skipping school to hunt or fish, cooking his bird or fish in the woods as his Pa Blocker had taught him, one would think of this little boy was going miles; but his world; from Cove Baptist, Cove Elementary and Texas Ave. home, was only 3 blocks.
He graduated from Bridge City High School in 1970, where he played football and baseball. Starting at 10, he always had a job. Working was as much in his blood as the outdoors. A Little Leaguer or Boy Scout, which his parents supported and coached, he loved Southeast Texas. Life became more adventurous when he met Dennis McCune. The young men would swim across the Sabine River to Louisiana with fishing and camping gear on their backs. The next day, they swam back with their catch tied to their feet with no thought of the danger.
Dangerous adventure followed him to Colorado, where he loved to climb and hunt. Once, a blizzard hit during the night. He and his brother had to walk through chest high snow for hours to survive. That day, helicopters rescued hundreds of hunters.
From the time his daughter was born, his heart belonged to her and hers to his. Danny loved Crystal’s husband, John, as they were 2 of a kind.
For almost 20 years, Danny worked for SeTEX Const., doing construction at Lamar University, LIT, BISD, PAISD, Baptist Hospital, High Island, etc. Always taking pride in his work and making friends on the job. On a job in Crockett, TX., he met Della. Somehow, with his calm manner and her temper, they clicked.
Everyone knew his love was living, playing and working on Toledo Bend lake house. Danny met a man who could have been his son in Kevin. Their love of outdoors and workaholic nature matched and they helped each other, talking for hours.
Danny’s sense of humor and his way of telling stories is what we will miss most. Also we’ll miss, his “too much food; not enough people” fish fries and crawfish boils. His wife’s funniest moment is watching him help his granddaughters catch fish on a Barbie Pole. His daughter’s favorite memory is when she was 10 and he took her floundering. He wouldn’t help her pull in a fish as he had one on line. The look of a flounder scared her and he laughed. However she had last laugh as hers was 21 inches and his only 18 inches.
