So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at John 5:28,29
(28). "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (29) and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment".

I would like to offer my condolences for your loss. I hope you will find comfort in knowing that Jehovah, the God of all comfort, will soon eliminate all grief and provide permanent consolation when “all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Christ’s] voice and come out”! (John 5:28, 29) God promises that “he will do away with death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isa. 25:8) Then, instead of having to “weep with those who weep,” all earth’s inhabitants will “rejoice with those who rejoice.”—Rom. 12:15.

To Chris & family,
So sorry to hear about Danny. Only found out via newspaper. Had no idea he was in that severe condition. I have known him since 1960 in Conway. Always seemed very pleasant person. Would have attended funeral if I had known.
So sorry.

What a wonderful man, who will be truly missed. His kindness and love to Kelsey was a blessing to her life.
I will never forget when my grandfather (CA Maddox) was showing off Kelsey's picture to the salesman at Montgomery Wards (Danny) only to find out he too would be her grandfather. What a great conversation they had sharing stories.
May God bless you and your family. Heaven gained a wonderful angel!

Danny was my first father-in-law and treated me like a son in every way. I loved Danny like a father. He taught me skills that I have used so many times throughout my life. I am heartbroken at this loss, but know he is at peace as he was truly a man of God. I am forever greatful for what Danny Gibbs did for me and will miss him dearly. My heart goes out to all of the family. You are all in my prayers.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
