He was proceeded in death by his grandparents, Eddie and Mary Grooms, who played a major role in his upbringing; mother Margaret Lute; brother Tommy Lute; and stepson Jonathan Petrie. He is survived by his sisters, Debbie Lute and Donna Glenn; nieces Jessica Helton, Heather Lute, Alisha Glenn, Summer and Shawn Anon and Aidan; stepdaughters Daleana and Kamiakin Richards; their daughters, Kara and Noah O’Rourke and Hannah and Cole Phillips: great grandchildren Micah and Laikyn; stepson Jason Petrie and his children, Braeden, Jaelynn, Jase, Joey and Jaedyn.
Danny was a good and patient man who had a big heart. He was always willing to help a person as best he could. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends who know he is at peace now
