Danny Gene Hall was born on April 8, 1951 in Harlan, Iowa to Shade "Ace" and Dorothy "Dottie" Hall. He was baptized and confirmed at the Tennant Methodist Church. Danny helped his dad tend to the land and animals on the family farm. He attended Tennant grade school and later graduated from Shelby Tennant High School in 1969. After graduation, Danny started farming and worked at the Skelly Gas Station. Mr. Hall later owned and operated an auto body shop while continuing to farm and raise various livestock.
On March 25, 1972, Danny was united in marriage to Joan Dittmer at the Shelby United Methodist Church in Shelby, Iowa. To their union three children were born: Nathan, Tiffany, Benjamin. A few years later, Danny’s fourth child, Danielle was born. On February 16, 1989 Danny was united in marriage to Linda (Boeck) Dills and thus gained two step-children, Chad and Lacy. He was very proud of all his children and loved spending time with his grandchildren.
In his younger years Danny’s hobbies included drag racing and snowmobiling. He loved MOPAR cars, sports, and big band music.
