He was born in Fort Smith on March 27, 1953 to Leonard and Betty Joe McDonald.
Danny joined the Air Force in 1975 and served until 1979. After leaving the Air Force, he worked numerous jobs until retiring several years ago. He was a 1971 graduate of Southside High School. He was a father to three and brother to five, but the role he loved the most was being “Papa Mac” to his five grandkids. He was an avid artist, die-hard Razorback fan, and a NASCAR enthusiast. He was also a handyman and loved taking care of people’s lawns. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to whoever needed it and will be dearly missed by those who loved him.
Danny is survived by his three children: Michael McDonald, Steve McDonald, and Spring Stout; a daughter-in-law: Candice McDonald, and son-in-law: Brian Stout; five grandchildren: Maddux, Glavine, and Avery McDonald, and Sabra and Strat Stout; five siblings: Wayne and spouse, Debbie McDonald, Phillip and spouse, Sherrie McDonald, Mary and spouse, Chris Driggers, Patty Jones, and Becky Tanner; numerous nieces and nephews.
Honorary pallbearers are his grandsons: Glavine McDonald and Strat Stout, his nephews: Tim McDonald, John Driggers, Aaron Jones, Brent Jones, Chris Simants, Mike Simants, and Scott McDonald.
Danny will be laid to rest in a private ceremony at the Fort Smith National Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to Edwards Funeral Home.
