I send my sincere sympathy to Danny's family and his brothers and sisters of Delaware Volunteer Firefighters. I must say it was an honor and a joy to get to know and "work" with Danny over the years. His dedication to the Fire Service was a constant inspiration to me and I was always glad to see him in the room when the needs of our volunteer fire fighters were being addressed. I pray Shirley and the family find peace in knowing he gave well beyond measure and we were blessed by his life.
To the Mitchell Family, All my heart, love and prayers are with you at this time. Your family played a special part in my life. Well, Danny and I weren't totally good angels growing up, like riding Uncle Joe's lawn mower in the rain and mud or when Danny and I started a small fire behind the fire house because we wanted to see how fast they would get there. They got there very fast and the police did too!! But that day we both learned to respect and appreciate the fire department and the police. Shortly after that, Danny and I pricked our fingers and became blood brothers. He was my little brother I never had. We had a bond and love for each other that never faded. My memories of Danny will be with me forever. I know my little brother is an angel in heaven now, looking down over all of us. I love you Danny, and the memories of us together will be in my heart forever. I'll see you when I get there! Keith White
So very sorry to hear of Danny’s passing. We have known him since he worked at the Rudder. He was a true friend to so many and could always be counted on when needed. The bench in front of the fire hall will never be the same. Love you rascal.

I first met Danny in November of 1980 when I began working at the Rusty Rudder. We worked together for 5 years and remained very good friends. Danny and I shared many great times....no one could make you laugh like Danny Mitchell. Danny and his family are the kindest, most generous people you could ever meet. I will forever look over at the bench in front of the Rehoboth Beach firehouse on the Avenue and picture Danny sitting there, still waiting for me to find a parking spot, so I could sit with him for awhile and share some great memories! We would talk and the laughter would start up again. I will always smile when I think of you Danny. A true friend, a great person and an eternal Rehoboth icon, you will always be in our hearts and will always be a cherished part of this community with a legacy that will never be equaled. RIP my good friend....I will miss you. Ken Milutin
Danny always came thru Mcdonalds for breakfast after his Shifts at work. He would get his breakfast and tell us about his long shifts and say see use in a few days I have some days off. He was always a kind and nice person. Its sad to know he will not be coming thru our drive thru, but the lord needed his help in heaven more than we did down here. You have gotten your wings to fly with no pain and sickness anymore . God Bless you and your family.
