Roy William Danker entered his time on earth on August 21, 1947, and danced through

the gates of heaven to meet his savior face-to-face on October 24, 2026.

Whether it was playing cornhole, roofing, construction or woodworking, Roy’s artistic

talent, creativity and perfectionism was evident in everything his hands touched. Be it

discipline with firm words or tight hugs with soothing assurances, Roy’s wisdom and

compassion as a father was apparent in the way he raised his children. The peaceful

patience he was known for will carry on in the memories of everyone who knew him,

and the ornery glint in his eye that accompanied his playful grin will especially stand out

when those who loved Roy and knew him well remember their best times spent with

him. The benefactors of Roy’s generous affection will always treasure the welcoming

spirit he extended them and forever hold the warmth of how he made each one feel so

uniquely special.

The streets of gold shine brighter now that Roy’s light joins those who have gone before

him: father, Fred Danker; mother, Sylvia (Holmes) Danker; brothers, Dale Danker,

Homer Danker, Randall Danker and Tim Danker; sister, Jolynn (Danker) Shepherd; and

mother of Tiffany, Linda (Tacker) Danker.

The following souls wait for the day they are called home to be reunited with Roy and

other loved ones who have gone on to help Jesus prepare their places: son, Mark

(Susan) Danker; daughters, Pamela (Donald) McFarland, Tiffany (Eric) Fowble;

brothers, Edward (Ranae) Danker, Eldon (Susan) Danker, Freddie Danker, Doug

(Barbara) Danker; sisters, MaeZella (Danker) Bailey, Gladys (Charles) Sullivan, Clara

(Roy) Hayes, Leisa Danker, Freddie Ann (Danker) Fetty, and Tammy (Danker) Irons;

eight grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, many nephews, nieces and cousins; and

mother of Mark and Pamela, Jeanette (Young) Johnson.
