He was born on October 19, 1955, in Marshall, Texas to Billy G. Brown and Barbara Campbell Brown and succumbed to liver disease on December 28, 2021, in Dallas, Texas.

Danny graduated from Marshall High School in 1974. He then followed his late father's footsteps of becoming a millwright and working in construction. He married Martha Lee Smith on December 17, 1992, in Marshall, Texas. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and coin collector. His love for the outdoors was like no other. In so much to having his wardrobe consisting of camo and even more camo. He always wanted to be on the water where he spent a lot of his time duck hunting and fishing. He didn't stop there, as he would go frog gigging or gliding the waters with family and teaching the kids to ski was some of his favorite family times together. Deer hunting also being a must, it didn't fall short behind duck hunting. He couldn't go too far from the house over the years without his close furry companions Magnum, Sabrina and Little Man. He was a hard worker and tough at times but never turned down a person in need. He opened his home to many people needing a helping hand and a place to stay. Danny and Martha made Uncertain, Tx their home where he was able to enjoy the waters and nature of Caddo Lake.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Billy and Barbara Brown; several aunts, uncles, cousins and a brother-in-law.

He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Martha L. Brown; stepmom, Carol Brown; in-laws, Zion and Karen Smith; children, Jeremy, Crystal Coleman and spouse, Charles and Karie Youngblood and spouse, Michael; brothers, David Brown and spouse, Joyce and Darrell Brown; step-brothers, Bryan and Damon Willie; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jerry Ray Smith and wife, Kathy; grandchildren, Kaylee B. Coleman, Bryce W. Coleman, Kyndal Youngblood and Taylor Youngblood along with numerous nieces, nephews and other family and friends.

The family would like to thank everyone for all their support, love and prayers to Danny and Martha throughout his fight of liver disease.
