Danny Ray Childress, 75, of Jacksonville, Florida, passed away Saturday, November 5, 2022 peacefully at his home. He was born in Greenfield, Tennessee on May 4, 1947. Sergeant Childress was proud of the 4 years he spent serving his country in the Marine Corps in Vietnam before being honorably discharged.

But especially enjoyed golf! And is expected to be on the golf course even now!
