James Danny Stutts was born Nov. 30, 1944, in Mobile, Alabama, to his parents, Jimmy and Elise Stutts. He passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on Nov. 27, 2024. After serving in the United States Navy on the USS Wright, Danny began his career in the Natural Gas Industry.
He started as a Rig Welder, but his hard work and determination led him to start supervising these projects. He also started his own welding supply company for a couple of years, but his passion was being in the field with his crew. Many years as a Superintendent led him to his final occupation as an Inspector. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle and spending time on his boat with his family, cruising the Neches River as well as the Intracoastal Waterway.
Danny was preceded in death by his parents, Jimmy and Elise Stutts and his granddaughter, Hannah Marie Doucet.
