Daniel George White was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, friend and teammate. Danny was born August 7th, 1963 in Birch Hills Hospital and raised on the family farm east of Prince Albert in the Steep Creek area. Danny was a man of many talents who loved his family and took immense pride in his work. He loved entertaining and many have enjoyed his cooking and bar-b-queuing. Leanne and Danny’s backyard sanctuary is a place of manicured beauty and hosted countless days and evenings of fun with friends and family. An athlete and a sport fan, Danny loved hockey, playing ball and golfing. Managing and playing for the Blues hockey team was a great pleasure for Danny. The effort and care he put into the Blues made being part of that team a great honour. Hockey at the Jemini was a social event for all the Blues and Danny brought everyone together. Danny put his unique touch on everything he did. He was a true kid at heart. Known for his quick wit and ready smile, he thrived on teasing his family and friends, who all secretly enjoyed being the subject of his attention. A loyal and dedicated employee, Danny thrived in his career with Federated Co-op and truly enjoyed his work. Prior to that, he spent many great years with J.M. Schneider Inc. Danny faced any problems head on with a positive attitude and unmatched motivation. Socially, Danny could walk into a room full of strangers and leave with a room full of friends. People just surrounded themselves around him. He was truly a unique and amazing man.
