Dannie was born on February 18, 1952 in Plainview, Texas to Joe Henry and Pauline (Speiker) Tiffin.   He married Keitha Beck on February 27, 1986.   Dannie was a hard worker, a caring and giving person, and was always willing to lend a hand to help someone.   A wealth of knowledge on many subjects, others looked to him when they had a question, problem, or were just in need of an uplifting conversation because he loved to talk and listen.   He was a great person to be around, fun-loving, and never met a stranger. A collector of many things, he loved old cars, guns, auctions, cooking and making dishes from his garden, was a wine connoisseur, and playing golf.   Loved by all who knew him, Dannie was especially dear to the Childress Elks Lodge #1113 and the Childress Country Club where he was a member. He was a loving father, husband, grandfather and friend and left behind a legacy of love and friendship. He was preceded in death by one brother, J.P. Tiffin, and his parents.
