Storey
Born on November 12, 1946 in Atlanta, Danny was destined for an extraordinary life. Growing up in Kirkwood and attending Murphy High School, he built life-long friendships. He graduated from Georgia Tech as a Civil Engineer in 1969. While at Tech he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Later that year, he welcomed his son, Kevin, followed by his daughter, Kipley.
After graduation, he began his first career with Chicago Bridge and Iron. This involved multiple moves throughout the U.S. and included five years in Brazil.
During his 17 years with CBI, he made his family his first priority. Upon returning to Georgia in 1987, Danny began his second career, as a luxury custom homebuilder with Profile Homes. In 1998, he and his son, Kevin, formed the family business, Storey Custom Homes. He took pride in working with his family and building award-winning homes.
Danny met his wife, the former Linda Costello of Meadville, Pa. at a dinner party in Atlanta, and found love and happiness. They enjoyed annual family vacations, sporting events, and watching their grandchildren grow up. He and Linda shared many community activities involving Rotary, Gwinnett Chamber, Gwinnett Tech board, Salvation Army and Boy Scouts board. Danny was always willing to help and liked mentoring young people. He was quite a storyteller and loved sharing his life experiences. Above all else, Danny’s family was first and foremost.
Danny is survived by his wife, Linda C. Storey; son and daughter-in-law, Kevin and Jenny Storey; his daughter and son-in-law, Kipley and Charles Morrow; grandchildren: Amber, Zoe, Ansley and Chase; great grandchildren: Declan, Blake, Elijah, and Collins; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be from 1 to 2 p.m., followed by the service at 2 p.m., with a reception to follow. Burial service for family members will be on Monday at West View Cemetery.
