Danny was a 2009 graduate of Fife High School and attended WSU for two years before joining the US Army, serving at Ft. Sill, OK and Ft. Bliss, TX.

Danny loved snow skiing, golf and both loved and hated his 1974 VW bug. He was a skilled piano player and drummer and wasn’t half bad at playing a guitar upside down, due to his being left-handed. Danny became a father on July 21, 2014 to a beautiful baby boy, Matthew Neil. Danny is survived by his wife Kristin Barker and son Matthew, parents Brett and Julie Hatfield, his sister Angie Hatfield, two grandmothers (Grandma Dixie and Grandma Delores) and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins. He will forever be loved, missed, and remembered for his kind heart, gentle nature and a smile that welcomed everyone.
