He was born in Manchester on September 19, 1988, the son of Mary-Jane (Aberle) Williams and Norman Williams of Ellington, and he has been a lifelong resident of Ellington. Dan was a graduate of Ellington High School, Class of 2007, and Suffolk University, Class of 2011 where he received his bachelor’s degree in marketing and communications.

Danny was the most compassionate and self-less person on this earth. If you had the honor of knowing Danny, you would have shared in his fun-loving nature, crazy laughter, and passion for family and friends. Dan loved hanging out with his family dog Quinn, laughing and spending time with his friends and family, camping, swimming, listening to music and painting. He was such an easy-going person and would do anything for anyone at any given time.

Through his young life, Danny supported and volunteered his time for many fundraising events. He was very passionate about helping others. Danny enjoyed working as a marketing and communication specialist at previous positions with UTC Power/ClearEdge Power and Health New England. The earth will be a lesser place because of his departure, but heaven has gained a wonderful presence. “D Willy” will be truly missed.

Dan also leaves his biological father Timothy Cunningham of Vernon; his step brother Jeremy Williams and his wife Erinn of Novato CA; his step sister Lisa Williams and her husband Daniel Addabbo of Manchester; his paternal grandparents Jim and Anita Cunningham of Manchester, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.
