Danny M. Ottinger
August 11, 1950 ~ June 4, 2022
Mooresville - Danny M. Ottinger, of Eminence, passed on Saturday morning, June 4th, 2022, into God’s loving hands. Danny was born to Elmer and Betty (Wilkerson) Ottinger on August 11, 1950. He attended Boone County Schools in Whitestown and Lebanon.
He was employed by Gasden Elevator and Morgan County Coop in Mooresville for several years. In later years he was employed by K-Mart, making deliveries to several locations in Indiana and surrounding states. He also was employed by Ole Dominion Truck Lines. He worked until his health issues forced his retirement in January of this year. Danny beat the odds when it came to pancreatic cancer though, surviving for over five years when the average prognosis is less than two. Known as a hard-worker and fighter, this surprised no one who knew him.
Danny went to church as a small boy and later as he started his family. On February 9th, 1974, he was married to Bonnie Bolin. They had one daughter, Heather S. Ottinger and were both thrilled. Bonnie passed away on June 26. 2012. He stayed single for several years and then remarried to Susan Duncan on December 1st, 2015. She is left to cherish his memory along with his daughter Heather.
A dedicated family man, a few of Danny’s favorite things are a roller-coaster, the faster the better, roller skating, and asking as many questions as he can get away with.
Danny was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife Bonnie Ottinger; sister Roslia, who died shortly after birth and a brother, Benny (Bo) Ottinger.
He is survived by his wife, Susan Ottinger; daughter Heather Campbell (Jonathan); sisters Nancy D. Lowe of Concord, NC and Deborah Griffin of Lebanon, IN; brothers Richard E. Ottinger (Silvia), Paul Ottinger (Janet) of Marion, NC.; and several nephews and nieces.
Friends and family will gather for visitation on Thursday, June 9th from 11-1 pm at Soul’s Harbor Assembly of God, 8434 IN-267, Plainfield, IN 46168 with funeral services following at 1 pm. Burial will follow at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Hall, Indiana. Services will be officiated by Pastor Ken Duke.

Susan, Heather, Jonathan, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Susan, I am thinking of you. I hope you find peace and comfort in the outpouring of love and support from friends and family. Love, Bonnie
I remember the day I read on Facebook that this nice lady who once taught Sunday School to my kids was getting married to a man named Danny Ottinger. I had never met him but was sure he was a relative because my Ottinger family is so big, and sure enough, he was a distant cousin. I had hoped to meet the man who Made Susan so happy but never got to. All my love and prayers to Susan and the rest of his family in their loss. We will meet one day in Heaven.
Danny was such a special guy. I was always so moved by how motivated he was. I am so grateful that I was able to get to know him. I always looked forward to seeing him and Susan. Praying for the family.
I grew up within walking distance of the Ottinger family. My deepest condolences to the family. R.I.P., Crystal Johnson
I’m so sorry this is so late but I just came across this day. I’m sorry for your loss. Danny was a good kid as I knew him, Rick and Nancy. I attended Whitestown and Lebanon with them. I was so happy that he was shown liking roller skating. We had a roller rink in Whitestown where most of us went on Sunday nights. Please remember you’re all in my prayers. God bless you all ߙϰߘǰߘ¢.
