Danny Leon Haggard
Danny Leon Haggard went home to be with our Lord on Friday, March 13, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.
He was of the Baptist faith and loved the Lord. He was a self-employed logger for many years. He later worked for Rogers Group in Oak Ridge for 23 years before retiring.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Mildred Coile; mother-in-law, Pauline Phillips; father-in-law, Esther Esau Phillips; sister, Pat Morgan; brothers, William Haggard and Dale Haggard; brothers-in-law, Ether B. “E.B.” Phillips, Virgil West and Lloyd Lee; and sisters-in-law, Mary Thomas and Patsy Phillips Weaver.
He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Betty Haggard; son, Daniel Scott (Ann) Haggard; daughter, Stacy (David) Douglas; grandsons, Chandler (Natalia) Abbott and Parker Douglas; granddaughters, Audriana Abbott, Jenna Douglas, Davanna (Jeff) Foust and Deva (Jareth) Janeway; great-granddaughters, Addilyn Abbott, Josie Abbott, Ariel Foust and Whitley Abbott, who is expected soon; great-grandson, Jackson Foust; sisters, Stella West and Hazel Lee; brothers, Ronnie Haggard, Gary Haggard and David Haggard; sisters-in-law, Evelyn (Ed) Davidson, Marci (Wayne) Powers and Doris Conatser; brothers-in-law, Johnny Thomas and Mike Weaver; and several nieces and nephews.
Danny loved being outdoors, whether working in the yard or spending time in his garage. He loved riding his grandkids around on his lawnmower. His family was everything to him, and he loved them all very much. He will truly be missed every day.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to his nurse, Justin Bradshaw, and the UT Hospice staff for the loving care they provided.
The family received friends Monday, March 16, 2026, from 5 to 7 p.m. The funeral followed at Mott-McKamey Funeral Home in Oak Ridge. Dakota Irwin officiated.
The graveside service was held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at Woodhaven Cemetery.
A special thank you also goes to Madison McKamey and Mott-McKamey Funeral Home for the loving, caring support provided to the family during this difficult time.
