Danny Sherman Flynn

Danny Sherman Flynn, of Jacksonville, Florida, passed away on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 at the age of 76. He was born on February 5, 1950, in Hollywood, Florida to the parents of Roy Jr. and Dorothy (Sherman) Flynn.

Danny was a graduate of Ball State University and went on to serve proudly in the Navy- an experience he often said shaped his character and guided him throughout his life. He carried a deep sense of patriotism and genuine love for his country. Known for his steady nature and quiet strength, he was a man of kindness and reliability. He found joy in travel but also appreciated life’s more simple moments, especially long walks and time spent in his garden. He was a lifelong Yankees fan and greatly enjoyed watching golf. He will be remembered for his warmth, his integrity, and the love he so freely gave to those around him.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years, Elizabeth Flynn, his daughter, Jennifer Forrest, and her two sons, Aiden and Jake. Danny is also loved by his three remaining siblings, Terry, Kelly, and Pat. His four ‘bonus-children’, Larry Jr., Kenny, Renee, and Kevin greatly respected and treasured their time with their ‘bonus-dad’. Danny “Papa” Flynn is loved and remembered by his 11 grandchildren and his 6 great-grandchildren.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
