Daniel “Danny” Ray Kinkaid passed into his Savior’s loving arms on February 24, 2016.
Danny was born in San Francisco, California on September 5, 1952. He moved from San Francisco to Washington State while still very young. In 1963, his family moved back to the San Francisco Bay Area. He graduated in 1971 from Aragon High School in San Mateo. In 1979, he married the love of his life and together they have two beautiful daughters.
He was a natural born “MacGyver” much to his parents’ pride and occasional dismay. He loved tinkering with “stuff” and could make or fix just about anything you asked of him. Those talents lead his to Edward Enterprises where he learned all aspects of the machining trade. He became a Journeyman Machinist while at Edwards. In 1981, Danny moved his family to Boise, Idaho. Micron Technology hired him in 1987 where he worked for the last 29 years advancing from Journeyman Machinist to Project Coordinator Estimator.
He came to know his Lord and Savior on September 14, 1997. His life verse is Romans 1:16. Danny always had a servant’s heart, but children and youth tugged on his heartstrings for many years. He served in children’s Sunday School, AWANA and Vacation Bible School and eventually became a Youth Leader with the high school students. As with many aspects of his life, Danny was a trailblazer. That unique gift helped lead teens on a trail to discovering God’s love for them. His passion was to aide teen boys into becoming godly young men.
Danny is survived by his wife, Marie; daughter, Danielle and her husband, Nelson Norton; daughter, Shawna and her husband, Jason Williams with granddaughters, Kylie and Trinity; his parents, Herb and Maxine Kinkaid; and siblings: Steve, Debbie and Brian along with their families.
