Danny Leon Haggard

Danny Leon Haggard passed away on Friday, March 13, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. A man of Baptist faith, he held a deep love for the Lord throughout his life. He worked for many years as a self-employed logger before spending 23 years at Roger’s Group in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, from which he retired.

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. (EB) Phillips, Joe Powers, Virgil West, and Lloyd Lee; and sisters-in-law, Mary Thomas and Patsy Phillips Weaver.

Danny 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 arriving 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 found great joy in the outdoors, whether working in his yard or tinkering in his garage. He cherished riding his grandchildren around on his lawnmower and held his family as the center of his world, loving them deeply. His presence will be profoundly missed every day.
