Obituary of Danny Harp

Daniel "Danny" Glen Harp, 63, of Advance, MO, took his first steps on the streets of gold on Thursday, December 26, 2024, surrounded by loved ones.

Danny was born September 13, 1961, in Dexter, MO, to the late Hobert and Willa Dean (Fulford) Harp.

Danny enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren and playing bass at his church, Greenbriar House of Worship. Danny had a keen eye and a special talent when it came to dirt construction which led him to do custom dozer work for many years in the Southeast Missouri area, as well as commercial site work all over the Midwest. As much as Danny enjoyed doing custom work, it made it even more special for him to be able to do that with his sons. He took great pride in teaching his boys the trade.

Danny is survived by his wife, Doris (West) Harp, whom he married on April 8, 1986. Also surviving are his sons, James (Casey) West of Gatewood, Andrew (Niki) Harp, Adam Harp, and Heath (Ashley) Harp, all of Doniphan; daughters, Shelley (Ross) Stout of Doniphan, and Shannon (Brian) Holt of Advance; along with 24 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. Danny also leaves behind two sisters. Athena (Art) Moore and Suzanne Schultz, both of Paducah, KY; two brothers, Carl (Kathy) Harp of Doniphan and Charles (Mary) Harp of Hickory, KY; and a brother-in-law, Rick Allen of Doniphan.

Danny was proceeded in death by his parents, Hobert and Willa Dean Harp; one son, Jeffrey Harp; one brother, Tony Harp; one sister, Pam (Harp) Allen, and one granddaughter, Liberty Jo Stout; as well as a brother-in-law, Harold Schultz.
