I was saddened to hear of his passing. I’ll always remember the riding, racing, & mud bogs we went to together.
He always had that big smile & a ready laugh when you saw him.
Look to God in this time of sorrow, he will bring you comfort.

I am very sorry to hear of Danny’s passing , Dan always wore a big smile when crossing paths with everyone he knew . Imbedded deep in my memory are many weekends and late nights having fun with a large group of inner circle friends , four wheeling , dirt bikes , jet skiing , mud bogs , Dans party’s at his house , ( & our Daytona trip 1990 ), you name it, a lot of us shared many a laughs , it seemed like we all would never get old or grow up back then , and yet here we are in 2026 …..
Thanks for sharing so many fun times and making the highschool and after years so memorable . I definetly will miss crossing paths , even if its been years at a time , the conversation and interaction was always as if we had just hung out last weekend.
to the Whiteman Family Gina & Jaden , Mike & Emily so very sorry for your loss .

I’m very sorry for your loss. Mr. Dan taught me a lot about blacktop, but he taught me much more than just that. He was always willing to help, teach, and share what he knew. He was a good man who never failed to put a smile on my face, and I’ll always appreciate the time I got to spend with him. The lessons and memories he gave me are things I’ll carry with me for a long time. He will truly be missed, and I’m glad I got the chance to know him. My thoughts and prayers to the Whiteman family.
