Danny George Smysor

Danny George Smysor, 66, of Mulvane, Kansas, passed away after a brief battle with cancer, peacefully at home with his wife, Carolyn, by his side on Wednesday, April 8, 2020.

Danny was born February 2, 1954 in Wellington, Kansas to David and Shirley (Miller) Smysor. He grew up and attended schools in Udall, Kansas along with his three sisters, Crystal, Kathy and Helen.

On July 21, 1973 Danny was united in marriage to Carolyn Evans and the couple made their home in Mulvane, Kansas. They were blessed with two children David and Marianne.

Danny was a dedicated friend and co-worker. He worked as an inspector for Boeing/Spirit Aero Systems for the past 34 years but was forced to give up his work he was so dedicated to, due to his health. Danny spent his free time following many sports especially his beloved K-State Wildcats. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren sharing all their activities and pictures with his co-workers. Danny was always there to help relatives and friends with household projects or whatever else people needed.
