Danny Wittie

Roy Dan (Danny) Wittie, age 66, of Gatesville, passed away April 15, 2020, at his residence surrounded by his family. Private family graveside services will be held at Restland Cemetery. Danny was born December 17, 1953 in Gatesville, Texas to the late Roy Floyd Wittie and Dorothy Faye Rose Wittie. He attended school in Gatesville. He married Carolyn Lanell Timmons on September 12, 1975 in Gatesville. He was a veteran serving 30 years in the Texas Army National Guard. Danny was a tank Mechanic at M.A.T.E.S. for 27 years. After retirement he spent the next 11 years, until diagnosis of Glio Blastoma, with Honeywell International and Kellogg Brown and Root, traveling our Country and Germany to all army bases performing special installations training and inspections of army vehicles before issuance to the military. Danny’s hobbies were his family and home. He loved grooming the yard, tending the garden and outdoor grilling. He spent most of his time outside. Danny could do almost anything with his own two hands. Never had to call for repairs, he did it himself. He was so talented. Danny built the 1300 sq. foot addition onto our house by himself with the help of our friend Ray Ashby. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law, Jackie Jones. Danny is survived by his wife of 44 years, Carolyn Wittie; son, Ray Don Wittie, daughter, Dana Lanell Wittie; sisters, Rita Wood and husband, Jimmy, Tana Jones, Pamela Shoemaker and husband, Billy Gayle; and five grandchildren, Kirsten Wittie, Ryan Wittie, Ryder Wittie, Nathan Kizer and Noah Kizer.
