Danny was born October 30, 1946 in Carlinville,
Illinois. From a small town, Dan met the love of
his life, Lynda McKinney Reznicek, at age ten.
They were married at age 20 and he went on to
graduate from the University of Illinois. With
courage and dedication, he volunteered to serve
his country in Vietnam as a Marine Corp Aviator.
He served his country honorably flying helicopter
missions in Vietnam. Upon completing his service,
Dan once again showed courage and wisdom
moving his family to Nashville, TN in 1974. Over
the next 41 years, Dan and Lynda built and lived a
full and vibrant life while guiding their children
through Holy Rosary, Father Ryan, UT Knoxville
and the University of Illinois. During this
journey, Dan built a successful business and
touched people's lives building friendships
wherever he went.
"Hunter Dan" had a deep relationship with nature.
He was an avid outdoorsman with a passion for
hunting, fishing and camping. He made it his
mission in life to inspire that same love of
nature. His greatest joy was sharing this part of
his spirituality with his family and friends.
Dan was a loving and attentive husband, a strong
and nurturing father, a dedicated son and
son-in-law, a devoted brother and brother-in-law,
a supportive and involved uncle, a proud and
doting grandfather, and a fierce friend.
Danny was the best of life. No words do justice to
his memory. While there is a void in this world
caused by his passing, his presence lives on
forever within his family and friends.
To all friends and family, please join us in
celebrating Danny's life and legacy on Saturday,
September 26 at the Donelson KC Club located at
2300 Knights of Columbus Blvd. A memorial service
will begin at 11:30 with a celebration of life
immediately following.
Donations in his memory can be made to either the
Tommy Bateman Memorial Scholarship fund or to
Operation Stand Down Tennessee.
