Danny was born on April 6, 1955, and went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. Danny retired from the Shreveport Police Department as a Lieutenant Homicide Detective, then later retired as the Executive Director of Arts and Entertainment of the Strand Theater. A lifelong LSU Tigers fan, Danny bled purple and gold. He relished every opportunity to attend games and share that passion with his family. Danny’s most cherished accomplishment was the pride he took in being a beloved Husband, Dad, Pawpaw, Friend, and Worshiper of Christ.

Danny often said that marrying Leslie Fogger was “the best decision I ever made.” He always bragged that “driving Mrs. Leslie” or “cooking for Mrs. Leslie” was one of his favorite things to do. There was no denying his commitment and devotion to Leslie, his wife. He called her “Blueyes” throughout their 28 years together, and their love was evident to everyone.

Danny loved his “miracle daughter,” Lauren Fogger. She called him “the other half of my heart.” From infancy to adulthood, there are many cherished memories between Lauren and her Daddy. Danny was proud of her and the relationship they shared together.

Danny also took great pride in those he met later on in life, which included his three other children and his six grandchildren. Danny seldom missed a moment that mattered. Whether it was a little league game, an awards ceremony, or a graduation, you could always count on him to be there front and center, cheering the loudest. “Showing up and showing out” wasn’t just something he did; it was who he was. And it’s how he will forever be remembered.

More than anything, Danny embodied the true meaning of family. He led with kindness, compassion, and quiet strength. He made sure every child and grandchild knew what it meant to love fully, live generously, and treat others with respect. Danny leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion. While we grieve his loss, we also celebrate a life lived with purpose, pride, and immeasurable heart. He showed us what it means to be there for one another, and that’s a lesson we will carry forward, always.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Jewell Ayres Fogger, and his grandparents, Reverend and Mrs. R.C. Ayres. Left to cherish his memory is wife, Leslie Leath Fogger; sister, Judi Fogger Farmer and husband, Eddie; daughters, Lauren Danielle Fogger and her mother, Betty Fogger, Kelli Todd, and Kristi Elizabeth O’Dell and husband, Brian, and son, Scott Dickerson and wife, Stacy; grandsons, Blake Dickerson, Kaiden and Kody O’Dell, and Christian Todd; and granddaughters, Maddy Salsbury and Kendal O’Dell; special family members, husband, John and Lori Austin; and special brothers-in-law, Mark Leath and wife, Marsha and David Leath and wife, Jill.
