Danny Lee Smith, 72, of Morgantown, passed away July 9, 2023, surrounded by his family. For the past 9 years Danny had been living in Sullivan, Ohio, with his wife and family.
Danny was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved to laugh and make others laugh, being outside, hunting, fishing, and being with his family and friends. He worked as a coal miner for 32 years but was forced to give up the career he loved due to his health conditions.

Danny was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend to everyone he has come in touch with.
Danny was preceded in death by his mother, Betty (nee Dewitt) Smith, Father, James Smith; sister, Sharon (nee Smith) Tennant; brother, Edward Smith; mother-in-law, Rosella (nee Livingood) Stevens; father-in-law, Robert Stevens; and son-in-law, Robert “Robbie” Layman.
A special thank you to the people at SouthernCare for their loving care and support during his final days. The family would also like to extend their sincerest gratitude towards the staff at Continuing Healthcare of Milan for being so accommodating and understanding during this difficult time.
