Danny met Linda in the fall of 1967, and took only two weeks to decide he wanted to marry her. Danny helped Linda raise their sons working for almost 3 decades as a machinist. When he wasn’t at his job he worked for his boys or his friends and family. He built tools and toys, repaired cars - and even built one from scratch! His generosity was boundless. He served his community through years of work for the Elks Lodge and supporting Zane and Dan’s school interests. Even after his stroke in 2000 he continued to serve his family and friends, helping with building projects, engine repairs, and countless other ways to help the ones he loved - never with a complaint and always with a smile.
Danny was preceded in death by his parents, Daniel and Mary-Lois Rhoades and a brother, Sam Rhoades.
Danny is survived by his loving wife, Linda Rhoades; two sons, Zane Rhoades (Robert Raiford) and Daniel T. Rhoades; one brother, Paul Rhoades; one sister, Pat Pate; two grandchildren, Emily King (Alex King) and Preston Rhoades; and many friends.
