DANNY BURL SMITH
Finger, TN: Danny Burl Smith, age 80 passed away February 12, 2024, at Jackson Madison County General Hospital.
He was born September 8, 1943, in McNairy County, the Good Hope Community and grew up in Chester County, the son of the late Richard David and Annie Rickman Smith. He graduated from Chester County High School in 1961.

Danny was an avid New York Mets fan, listening to all their games, and his favorite colors were Mets orange and blue. He was looking forward to the Mets spring training. He enjoyed putting puzzles together, but his greatest joy was bragging on his kids and grandkids.
