Danny A. Mock, born March 15, 1947, the youngest of six children born to Sim Parrish and Rosa Lee (Walker) Mock. He graduated from Kathleen High School, Class of 1965.

Danny served in the US Navy during the Vietnam War. He served aboard the submarines USS Pargo and USS Batfish as a Fire Controlman. After his time in the Navy, he began a career working for Lanier Worldwide and retired from there.
He enjoyed retirement life, traveling 44 out of 50 states with his wife, making wood creations, telling sea stories, perfecting his Signature Bloody Mary, spending time with his cat Buddy and visiting with family and friends. Danny found humor in just about everything and he didn't tend to take life too seriously. We loved him and we'll miss him.
