Danny Herndon

Nathan Daniel Herndon, known by everyone as “Danny”, age 49, of Walterboro, entered into rest Monday, May 3, 2021.

Danny was born August 22, 1971, in Walterboro.  He had attended the Speech and Hearing Clinic in Charleston as well as Barry Elementary School in North Charleston.   He graduated from the School for the Deaf and Blind in Clinton, South Carolina.  Danny was larger than life.  He would light up any room that he entered and always brought a smile to those around him.  He was a longtime employee of Pee Dee’s Tires and when Danny worked, he put everything he had into his job even though he couldn’t hear a tire leak.  He loved fishing, hunting, watching car races, and football.  Most of all, Danny loved teaching people sign language. He had no problem using up all the napkins around so he made so many wonderful friends. 

Surviving are: his parents, Judy and Frank Carter Walterboro; a sister, Tani Steedley and her husband David of Walterboro; two great aunts, Annette McBrayer and Jo Lastinger, two aunts, Kyla McCommons and Mary H. Stanfield; three great uncles, Bud Floyd (Jackie), J.B. Floyd, and Kenneth McBrayer (Anette), two uncles Mitchell McCommons and Kenneth McCommons; nephews, Daymeon Schieder, Vance Buttleman, Reese Steedley, Daniel Steedley, and Dawson Steedley; and a niece, Brooke Buttleman as well as host of extended and very loved family. 

The family is especially grateful for the love and kindness shown to them and Danny, the staff of Amedisys Hospice, Donna, Paula, LaBeth, Heather, Taylor, Domeeka, Leslie, and Chaplin Roy; as well as the beloved Chamblee Staff,.
