Danny R. Bussey

Danny R. Bussey, the son of James Bussey and the late Bertha B. Bussey was born January 12, 1956 in Indianapolis, IN. Danny accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized and received the Holy Spirit. He attended Hillside Christian Church and later moved to Victory Temple. He attended several churches throughout his life, most recently attending Lawrence Church of God. As an ordained minister, he led Bible studies, delivered food to the sick and needy, and faithfully attended church. Danny received his elementary education in the Indianapolis Public School system and graduated from Arsenal Technical High School and later attended Ivy Tech College studying mechanics.

He was employed by the State Federal Surplus for 38 years and worked at Meijers for 15 years. As a man of great character who taught the Word of God daily and led people to Christ, he lived his life to the upmost and was an excellent husband. He greatly loved his brothers and sisters. He was a drummer for his church and taught others how to play as well. You could always see a smile on his face, and he was a high spirited person who always shook your hand. He believed if you were going to talk about it, then be about it. His favorite Bible verse is "trust in the Lord with all your heart". He will be remembered for his true love of people and unconditional giving. He received a Sagamore Award from the Governor.
