Daniel Y. "Danny" West

Daniel West, of Inman, SC, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, loyalty, and love. Daniel was born in Spartanburg to Harold and Delphia West and grew up learning the value of hard work and keeping your word. He spent 42 years working at Milliken, where he made many lifelong friends and earned a reputation as someone you could always count on. He shared his life with his wife and best friend, Debra (Roach) West. Together they built a home full of love and laughter. Danny was a proud dad to Yates West, Jessica (Walter) Pym, and Jeffrey Atkins and a loving Bup Bup to London. He was known as Buster to many of his children’s friends - who didn’t realize that wasn’t actually his name. Family was everything to him, and he loved nothing more than being surrounded by “his people.” At heart, Danny was a simple man who found joy in the little things—grilling out on a summer evening, relaxing with his dogs, and enjoying time with family and friends. He was gentle, kind, and steady, the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome. Danny is reunited in heaven with his parents, Harold and Delphia, and his beloved brother, Wayne. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but the lessons he taught and the love he gave will live on in those who loved him most. A celebration of Daniel’s life will be held on Saturday, October 18th at 10:00 AM at River Bend Sportsman’s Resort. A service will be followed by a brunch in his honor. Please bring your shagging shoes and dress in whatever makes you happy - it’s exactly as he would have wanted it. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you simply come ready to celebrate and remember Danny together.
