William Daniel "Danny" Hutchinson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

William Daniel “Danny” Hutchinson, 78, of Mint Hill, North Carolina, died peacefully on Sunday, December 13, 2020. Through the blessing of hospice, he was able to be at home surrounded by family. Danny was born in Sumter, South Carolina, on April 17, 1942, the only son of William and Minnie Motley Hutchinson. When he was just 3 months old, his family moved to the Clear Creek area of Charlotte and he had been a resident of the Charlotte area ever since. He graduated from East Mecklenburg High School in 1960 and went into the trucking industry. Danny worked as an over the road driver for many years until retiring in 1992 due to injuries sustained in a driving accident. While on a double date, he met a young woman named Jean Hartis. And while they did not go on the double date with each other, they began to date each other after that and in 1963, they were married. In addition to working, Danny enjoyed many other things in life such as car racing, following Tarheel basketball with his daughter, spending time with his dog and going to the lake. Most of all, he loved the time spent with family and friends, especially his grandchildren, and he will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.

Danny is further survived by numerous other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents. No formal services will be held at this time. A memorial service will be held at a later date when COVID restrictions ease.
