Danny James Woodworth, 65 of Elmira, died peacefully surrounded by his loved 
ones on Wednesday May 3, 2017. He was born on October 9th, 1951 in Durand 
Michigan, the son of James and Irene Woodworth. He grew up in the New Lothrop 
and Byron, Michigan. He graduated from Byron High School and attended college 
at North Central Michigan College. To follow in his grandfather and father's 
footsteps he worked for General Motors, Buick Division for a short time. He 
joined the US Navy in 1970 to work his way up in ranks to Deep Sea Chief Navy 
Diver and retired in 1989. Danny was a man of many talents and interests. After 
retiring from the Navy he started a computer repair business, was a volunteer 
fire fighter, and then went on to work and retire from the State of Michigan as 
a Computer Technician. He met the love of his life, Linda in 1975 and married 
in 1976. His family was the most important thing to him. Left to celebrate his 
life and cherish his memories are his loving soul mate and best friend, Linda Deann
Deann (Richards) Woodworth, his son David Woodworth and Mellissa (Russell) Wo
Woodworth and their two children Anna and Sarah, his daughter Amanda (W
(Woodworth) Burl and Jason Burl and their two children Deanne and Griffin, and hi
his loving sister Nancy (Woodworth) Bauer. Preceding in his death, his father Ja
James Woodworth and mother Irene Ritter. 

Danny (aka Woody, Chief, Diver Dan, Dadio, Crazy Man, Unk, Brother, and SuperMan
SuperMan) was the type of man that would always give a helping hand; who loved hi
his family, country, Harley Davidsons, guns of any type, and our Lord Savior Je
Jesus Christ. He enjoyed playing pranks on people, hunting of any kind, riding hi
his Low Rider, watching the Detroit Tigers, Red Wings, Lions and many game sh
shows. He was also known to always have an encouraging word for others and he
helped those fighting cancer along with him. When asked if there was anything he
he wished he would've done or seen his answer was NO. What an amazing life to le
lead to be able to have done everything you ever dreamed of doing. One of Da
Danny's requests was that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Ca
Cancer Society or the American Legion.
