Danny Ray Lindley, age 66, a resident of Fountain, Colorado, passed away on August 11, 2014 at his home. He was a Mechanical Designer for numerous aerospace companies. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend to many.

Danny was born on November 29, 1947 in Pascagoula, Mississippi. He attended schools in California and was a 1965 graduate of Torrance High School. He was a very pleasant and good man who was a United States Army Soldier and Vietnam Veteran. He later married and raised a family.

He was a member and past president of the Izaak Walton League of America and was an avid trap shooter. He was also a member of the Pikes Peak Gun Club. He was employed for many years with Lockheed Martin and was instrumental in the design of the seats of the Space Shuttle with AMI Industries. Danny was very proud of his restoration of his 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air.

He married Carla Roth on September 17, 1983 in Colorado Springs. Carla survives and lives in Fountain.

He is also survived by his three daughters, Patrice Lindley, Paulette Buckhanan and Pamela Langford. He has seven wonderful grandchildren, Elijah Turner, Brett Lindley, Seanya Lindley, DeVon Langford, Rauk Langford, Ajani Buckhanan and Aizon Buckhanan; and one great-grandchild, Carter Walker.

Memorial Services will be held at the Southern Colorado Veterans Cemetery at a future date.

Carla,
I'm so sorry about Danny. I remember when Bill and I drilled post holes on your then "new" property. What a fun day that was. All four of us "finally" living in our country homes. He will be sadly missed. I thank him for his service to our country! God's speed Danny.
God Bless you,
Nancy Pike

Dear Lindley Family:
Sorry to hear of your lost. If I remember right, I think Dan worked for the CS Utilities for a few years as a draftmen and I was his supervisor. He was good employee and hard worker.
Sincerely,
Russell Callahan
