Daniel Wilson

Strickland

Daniel “Danny” Strickland, age 59, passed away on September 27, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and the love of family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Danny had a deep love for landscaping and took great pride in working with large heavy equipment. He was happiest behind the controls of a backhoe, bulldozer, excavator, or trencher, and one of his memorable accomplishments was earning his CDL license. He loved being outdoors, fishing, and spending time with family and friends on the water. These simple pleasures brought Danny great happiness and gave him countless memories that will be treasured by those who shared them with him.

Danny also had an enormous love for animals, especially dogs. Beneath his hardworking and rugged exterior was a heart that was incredibly tender when it came to animals in need. Over the years, each loss brought him deep sadness because, to Danny, his animals were family.

He leaves behind three very special dogs, D-O-G, Whitey, and Brownie, all of whom were rescues.

Danny gave them something they desperately needed: a safe home, unconditional love, and the chance to know what it meant to be cared for.

Danny was preceded in death by his parents, Jim and Barbara Strickland; his sister, Amanda Watson Broom; and his nephew, Ray Watson.

He leaves behind his wife, Teresa Strickland; his former wife, Lisa Strickland Hathcock; his sons, Dan “DJ” Strickland, Jr. and Dylan Strickland; his sisters, Sondra “Sis” Martin and Penny Strickland; several grandchildren as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Danny will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him. He leaves behind the memory of a man who loved his family and friends, cared deeply for animals, and found joy in the simple moments of life.

A graveside service will be held at Greenwich Cemetery on October 6 at 12:00 p.m.

Following the service, family and friends are invited to gather and share memories at 107 West 50th Street, Savannah, GA 31405.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever remembere
