Danny Ray Shumway, 64, is home with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as of October 1st, 2016.
Danny is a kind and generous man always willing to lend a helping hand where needed. Danny has a great, original sense of humor, and is referred to by his family as their “human google” for his wide knowledge base of anything and everything. He has enjoyed every moment of his life, his time outside, his dog Faith, mowing and working in the yard, and his many times with family and friends, especially his two beautiful granddaughters.
Danny was born to Herman and Marlene Shumway in San Diego, CA, while his family was stationed there for the U.S. Marine Corp. He and his family later moved to Wolf Point, MT where Danny would grow up and meet the love of his life Linda (Sibley) Shumway. They were married in 1980 and had two children, Sanders and Sloane. Danny is a dedicated worker and spent over 3 decades working as a parts man at Fox Ford in Wolf Point with great knowledge and expertise.
Danny is survived by his wife Linda, son Sanders and wife Alicia, and granddaughters Liberty and Melody; daughter Sloane and husband Rod Glasoe, and children Mahaila, Mikel, Dalton, Zoe, and Toby; parents Herman and Marlene, and brothers John (Rhonda), Steve (Tonya), Bill, and sister Sheila (Joe) Woods, and many nieces and nephews.
We, his family, are writing this in present tense as we know Danny is alive, well, and having the time of his life now in his heavenly home. As Danny came to know Jesus he became a very loving, humble, tender, and Godly man that loved the Lord.
He is a great husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. We love you Danny, dad, grandpa Danno and are excited to see you again when we join you in heaven. Until next time…
There will not be a funeral at this time, but instead at a later date, a celebration of Danny’s life on earth, and his moving to heaven. Danny believed in the scripture that states, “Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:8 NLT)
In lieu of flowers memorials can be made to Minot Youth for Christ at 318 5th Avenue NW, Minot, ND 58703.

So sorry to hear about Danny’s passing. He was one of the first people I got to know when Gary and I got married and was such a good friend. I am sure the two of them have found each other in heaven.

Danny will be greatly missed. I spent many morning bantering with him and always having a good laugh when I worked with him at Ford. Paul enjoyed visiting with him for many years also. We pray that you will find comfort in his legacy and memories. Be blessed.

Did not know Danny had passed away as I was at the Ford shop today and asked where he was, he was always nice to visit. My prayers for his family.
