A memorial service will be held 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at Sylvan Abbey Funeral Home on Sunset Point Rd.

He was preceded in death by his beloved dog, Lily.

Daniel is described by his family as a loving and concerned son; a generous, fun and protective older brother; a devoted and paternal-like uncle; and a nice, fun, sweet and awesome great-uncle. All of our lives were brightened by his unconventional and dry sense of humor.

He was born April 18, 1956 to Daniel and Anna Hyden. He enjoyed his work at Indy Pro Audio providing sound set-up for concerts across the nation. His talents were also shared at ADEPT Corporation where he worked as a computer systems analyst.

Danny was an avid lover of nature and enjoyed camping, hunting, sailing and fishing. His love of nature and skill as a photographer are memorialized in the works of art he left behind. We are thankful for the photographs that remain with us as testament to the beauty of the world and Danny’s appreciation for life, his talent, incredible work ethic and creativity.

His ability to study and master many different skills was a blessing to those in his life. He was a fantastic cook, mechanic and electronics expert. He shared his skills and love with so many and will be greatly missed.
