Danny Ford

Danny was born August 7, 1963 to Burl Leon Ford, Sr. and Susie Bagley Ford in Jacksonville, Florida. He was his mother's "Little Pepper Pot." He had a mean temper but he loved his mom dearly. Danny was very spiritual in his own way. He was not the attend church every week type, but he was the read the Bible every day, twice a day type.

Danny worked in construction as a builder for many years. He loved to tell a good story. He would grin from ear to ear. He'd say, "I'm telling you man." When Danny called you, 9 times out of 10, his first words to you would be, "Let me ask you a question..." He had dealt with great loss, but it never left him bitter. If he ever loved you, he'd always loved you. It didn't matter what happened, what was said. If you had a place in his heart, you stayed in his heart. Danny valued important things. No matter what, he always made sure his family had food on the table and a roof over their heads. He loved all of his kids, grandkids, nieces, & nephews. No matter how grown up any of them are, they were still youngins to him. He will be missed by many.

"You're Not Truly Gone, Pawpaw"

Pawpaw slipped away, quietly one day. He simply went to sleep, no more to wake or weep. Now we gather here, and quietly shed a tear, as we lay him in the ground, no solace to be found. But Pawpaw's not truly gone, because his memory lives on, in all of us who loved him, never to be forgotten.

Dad...

Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure.
