Danny Hawkins
August 18, 1934 — October 11, 2020
Daniel Virgil Hawkins, age 86 of Huber Heights, Ohio, passed away Sunday, October 11, 2020 at Bethany Village. He was born August 18, 1934 in Persia, Tennessee to the late Grant and Leona Hawkins.
Danny was a loving father to his daughters. He was a generous, kind man who would give the shirt off his back. He loved to joke and tease and always had a big smile on his face. He was a very hard worker and always provided for his family.
Danny drove for ABF for 30 years and pulled the first set of doubles through Dayton. He could always be seen wearing his ABF satin jacket. He proudly served in the U.S. Army. He received an Honorable Discharge and earned the Expert in Rifle and the Good Conduct Medal.
Danny never met a stranger. He loved to dance and sing karaoke at the VFW. He was a really good mechanic, loved to rebuild cars, and was always entertained by his dogs.
In addition to his parents, Danny was preceded in death by his brothers, James Hawkins, Larry Hawkins and Gene Hawkins; sisters, Lilly Hawkins-White, Ruby Hawkins and Frances Hawkins-Smith.
Danny will be missed by his loving daughters, Cindy (Dale) Fent and Lisa (Chris) Circle and their mother Barbara Woodrum; and grandchildren Taylor Massie, Cody Circle, Zachary (Abbie) Massie and Cassie Circle.
Family will receive friends Sunday, October 25, 2020 from 5-7 p.m. at Newcomer North Chapel, 4104 Needmore Rd. where the funeral service will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Monday. Private burial with full military honors will be held at the Dayton National Cemetery.
Danny's family would like to thank the caregivers at Bethany Village and the staff at Crossroads Hospice. In lieu of flowers, please perform a random act of kindness in memory of Danny.

God saw you getting weary.
He did what He thought best;
He put His arms around you
And said Come and rest.
He opened up His golden gates
On that heartbreaking day,
And with His arms around you,
Your youth gently slipped away.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
A part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
