So sorry for your loss. I often attended the 5 P.M. Mass and would see you and the two girls there. Thoughts and prayers for all of your family. I know Danny was quite involved with the activities of our parish.
Danny was more than a friend, he was my brother. We have endured so much over the years. Was never more than just a phone call away. I don’t know how I’m going to go on w/o my “brother from another mother” . Rest in Peace Brother – till we meet again!

Danny and I were friends for over 40 years. We went to school together, played football together, worked together and partied together. We didn’t always agree but I love him like a brother. I will miss him.
My sincere condolences to Danny’s family. I knew him since middle school, saw him at several Class of ‘85 reunions over the past 35 years, and in recent times had exchanged political jokes and information with him via Facebook messenger. Very shocking news.
I had the pleasure of working with him at midland. He was a good man/friend and i think all of his coworkers would recall when he sees any of us he would say whats going on sunshine. He was always in a good mood. Glad to have known you for the last 5 years. Rest in peace brother
We have been friends for 35 yrs. From basic training and alaska. Been friends through good times and bad. I was so happy for you when you achieved things in life you strived for. Your degrees, your career, and Bonita. She was the love of your life. You have been a wonderful friend and I will miss you so much. I already do. We helped each other through so many things. It will be hard not to share with you the good things in life. Rest in peace my friend. Its creates a hole in my heart that you are with God now.
Such a sad day, I worked with him. We would crack jokes and have a good time at the pipelines. He would always say, “ what’s up sunshine”. I will miss him.
I worked with Danny in Fulton on pd..we were on the SWAT TEAM together..been in lots of action together..a fellow soldier…you weren’t only my coworker you were my good friend out of the bullet proof vest.. I’ll miss you my buddy always smiling when he say ” Hey brotha””.. You’re free now!!!.. Stan
Condolences to the family of kuya Danny From Pamplona Family Here in Olongapo City.
Danny stepped in to Bonita’s life and not only loved my friend but loved her girls as well. Thank you Danny, for loving her and for always welcoming us into your home when we came to Jeff City and needed a place to crash. I was always impressed with your work ethic, your desire to love God and study His word, and how hard you worked for your family. You will be missed.
Condolences to the family from mine. Danny was a great man. Proudly strong in his faith and his witness about it. An exemplary father and family man. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him. Clinton Flowers
We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
My condolences to Amber and Tyer Vaught and the entire Vaught family on your loss. You are in my prayers for God to give you comfort and peace at this difficult time in your lives. The word of God says in 2 Corinthians 5:1 “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
To the entire Vaught family: Please accept our deepest heartfelt sympathy for Danny’s passing. America thanks him for his brave service in the U.S. Army. May he rest in God loving arms forever. Semper Fidelis.
We will so miss Danny, our neighbor and friend. It is so hard to believe that he is not here with us. Less than a month ago he was out working on his house (playing his radio a bit loud) calling out to neighbors who passed by. Danny was amazing, always optimistic about the future, continually having an improvement in mind. He was dedicated not only to his family but also to making his neighborhood a friendlier and safer place. Danny was an inspiration as a lifelong learner. With all the home and community projects he was involved in, he somehow found time to continue taking classes. We and the Hickory St. Neighborhood have suffered a great loss.

Lost a good man and fellow veteran. Coach Larry Branson
Bonita and family, please accept our condolences (Charlotte and I) and from the brothers of the Missouri Knights on Bikes. Danny helped in many ways, with the Knights on Bikes. I enjoyed talking to him, on the phone, when he had ideas to make our group better. May the Lord bless you and your family during your time of loss. Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and perpetual light shine upon him. Grant forgiveness to our brother and grant him a peaceful resting place. May he rest in peace. Bob & Charlotte Hall and Missouri Knights on Bikes
My love, my life. You have left us here without you. What will we do? You were a personification of St. Joseph—a worker, provider, surrogate father and beloved husband. Also, like St. Michael the Archangel, a protector and defender. Thank you for returning me to the one true Catholic faith, for lighting a fire in me and others to learn the Catholic catechism’s teachings, for being an example of a righteous and obedient servant to God and your fellow man. Thank you for loving me. It was my pleasure to love you here on this earth. The earth keeps moving, time marches on, but how, without you? 143
Bonita, I’m sorry to hear of Danny’s passing. We always enjoyed seeing your family on our walks in the neighborhood and appreciated how much you both cared about keeping it nice and safe place to live and for kids to play in the park. Your family is in our prayers. With Sympathy, Katie and Jake Owens former neighbors on Adams St.
