Danny Hanley passed away on June 13, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his cherished family. He was born on November 3, 1946, in Meridian, Mississippi, to John Oscar Hanley and Louise Williams Hanley. Growing up in Gainesville, he spent his entire life in Sumter County. On July 12, 1969, he married the love of his life, Suzanne Moore, and together they embarked on a journey filled with love, hard work, and family. Danny was a dedicated cattleman and farmer, owning and operating his own farms. He was known for his friendly nature and made friends wherever he went. With a wonderful sense of humor, he brought laughter to those around him. A lifelong hunter, he enjoyed pursuing a variety of game, including deer, turkey, hogs, raccoons, and birds. Fishing on the Sucarnoochie River also brought him joy. Above all, his greatest love was for his family, and spending time with them was his favorite pastime. He held many titles: husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, and so much more. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
