Danny was born May 27, 1987 to Ronald and Marie Dreyer in Denver, CO. He weighed in at 3lbs, 15oz. He was eager to grow up. He doubled his weight at 1 month, tripled it in 2 months and quadrupled it in 3 months. Danny joined his family as the youngest child following siblings, Mike and Sandy. Sandy slept by his bassinette for a very long time in order to keep a close attentive eye on him.
He was baptized into the Christian faith at the family home church, Immanuel Lutheran Church of Rushville, NE.
He grew into boyhood helping on his family farm, helping his father repair farm equipment and doing electrical work, learning much more than he realized he was learning.
At age 9 he experienced the loss of his brother Mike. While trying to make sense of this tragedy he asked the astute question “Dad, what is Mike doing in heaven?”
He was confirmed in the Lutheran faith at Immanuel Lutheran Church.
