Wilson D. "Danny" Grimes, 64, of Longs, S.C., formerly of Blair, W.Va., and Chapmanville, W.Va., went to be with the Lord on Dec. 1, 2015.

He fought a good fight, he finished his course, kept the faith. He is now walking the streets of gold with his Savior. He has no more need for his earthly body, but is enjoying his new glorified body as he strolls around that Heavenly city with those who have gone on before.

Born Oct. 22, 1951, he was the son of George W. Grimes and Virginia White Grimes. He was preceded in death by one son, Little Danny; sister, Donna Grimes; parents; and grandparents.
