Daniel Richard Boone, 70, of Averys Creek, passed away Thursday February 13th, surrounded by his family. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, he will always be remembered for his steadfast willingness to help others.

Danny was the son of William Paul Boone, Sr. He was born on April 8, 1954 in Asheville, NC.

In July 1973 he married Danna, his devoted wife for 51 years. In 1982, Danny opened Boone’s Corner in Averys Creek. Through hard work and dedication, his business would later be coined “the hub of Avery’s Creek”. Danny retired 40 years later, but continued to enjoy spending time at the store with his friends and community.

Danny was passionate about his hot rods and deer hunting. He liked attending car shows and squealing tires. His ultimate joy was spent traveling to deer hunt with his cherished friends.

Danny is survived by his loving wife, Danna Boone; son Adam Boone (Brook); daughter Marcy Daves (Jason) and seven grandchildren, Allie Daves, Darrah Daves, Haleigh Daves, Hannah Daves, Emily Crocker and Aydin Boone. Also surviving are two sisters, Patsy Boone and Angela Jacoby as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Danny was preceded in death by his father, William Paul Boone Sr; brothers, William Paul Boone Jr and Benny Boone and sisters, Shirley Boone, Sharon Boone, and Diane Boone.

Services will be held at Words of Life Tabernacle, 815 Glenn Bridge Rd. in Arden on Monday February 17. Receiving of friends and family will begin at 1:00 PM and service will follow at 2:00 PM. Officiating is Danny‘s best friend, Pastor Carl Bishop.
