The following was lovingly written by
Danny's family...


Danny Ralph Lunsford 
was born December 14, 1954
 in Hatch, New Mexico
 to Clifford and Thelma Lunsford. 
He passed peacefully in his sleep 
on December 1, 2025
 in his home in Sand Springs, Oklahoma
 surrounded by his family at the age of 70. 
Danny lived his childhood days in Hatch. 
Danny's father passed away 
when he was 12 years old.  
He spent time helping his mom 
with paper routes, 
working at filling stations to 
help his mom anyway he could.  
He graduated from Hatch High School
 in 1973. 
Danny moved to Oklahoma in 1989; 
He and his wife, 
Belinda were married February 26, 1994
 in Harrison, Arkansas.  
He worked on fabricating containers 
and building, repairing oil field equipment.  
Danny could build anything.  
He loved the challenge of 
building a fitting and retro fitting anything. 
Old cars oil rigs to household improvements. 
  He worked long, hard hours to make sure
 his family had everything they needed. 
 Danny was a supervisor at Taylor Industries 
when he retired on December 14, 2017. 
He had a passion for bass fishing, 
guns and shooting sports.  
Even though he worked long hours,
 he found the time to teach 
his children the good stuff, 
how to shoot rifles, how to fish, how to camp, 
and all the little life lessons in between.  
He did it all with a sense of humor that
 made even the tough moments easier.   
He believed in leaving the woods and lakes 
a better place than he found them, 
and we should all do our part to preserve
 the outdoors for future generations to enjoy.  
His favorite holiday was July 4,
 he enjoyed being with family,
 friends and playing horseshoes, 
and smoking meat.  
Throughout the years, 
he enjoyed watching 
his children playing sports
or fishing with his children or 
doing a bass tournament with his wife. 
One of his qualities was if he messed up, 
he wasn't afraid to admit it, 
He'd apologize with so much thought and
 sincerity that alone taught his children 
more than even realized.  
Danny had a big heart.  
He was always helping his coworkers, 
our friends, anyone who needed something.  
For his kids, even as adults.
  If they had a project or a problem,
 he made it a priority to help them figure it out. 
What made Danny the happiest was
 just being with his people, 
his wife, kids, grand kids and his friends.  
Even if it was just sitting on the
 back porch together, 
he was content.  
The simple things in life. 
Danny truly loved his family
 and took pride in his 
career, family, his work and his hobbies.  
He took the time for his family and
 showed all of us what love truly means.  
Danny is survived by his wife, Belinda, 
Son, Cody Lunsford and 
wife, Tammy of
 Fort Scott, Kansas, 
Daughter, Rebecca Rakes and 
husband, Nathan of 
Tulsa, Oklahoma, 
Son, Walt Burlison and wife Becky of 
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, 
Daughter, Laci Dickson and 
husband, Aaron of 
Sand Springs, Oklahoma. 
 He leaves a sister, Janice Torres of
 Hatch, New Mexico.  
Many nieces and nephews. 
He was preceded in death by his parents,
 Clifford and Thelma Lunsford 
and a brother, Gene Lunsford. 
Danny's legacy is one of love,
 kindness and generosity.
  His grandkids were the light of his life; 
his eyes lit up every time he saw them.  
He was truly proud of his
 children as the adults that they have become;
 he was so proud of them. 
 He was loved deeply and
 will be missed dearly.
