Dannie was born Nov. 9, 1962, to Clarence and Belva Jean (Wade) Stratton in Shelby, Montana. The family moved to Havre shortly thereafter where Dannie grew up and attended school. In second grade, he met and made instant friends with Bruce Morelli, who to this day remained a loyal and devoted brother and friend.

In 1984 Dannie met and married Cathi Campanella, and they were married Aug. 17, 1984. From this union they were blessed with two boys, Curtis and Chad. The couple later separated, but remained to this day close friends. Dannie was a devoted and loving father; the three of them enjoyed everything together. These two boys were to the end, Dannie's pride and joy.

On Nov. 12, 2009, Dannie's first grandchild was born, ChazLiynn Stratton and on Dec. 14, 2011, a second grandchild was born, Knaeryn Stratton.

He was a very independent, active guy, who loved anything and everything to do with camping and the outdoors. Dannie was an avid fisherman and hunter. But most of all, his passion was taking road trips on his motorcycle.

Dannie was too young to be taken from us, but he lived and experienced more than many of us. He will live on in the hearts and minds of his family and friends forever.

He was preceded in death by his parents. Clarence and Bevla Jean Stratton.

He is survived by his sons, Chad (Taya) Stratton and Curtis (Jordyn) Stratton; grandchildren, ChazLiynn and Knaeryn; sister, Sheri (Ron) Smith; and stepmom, Darlene Riggin Stratton; along with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
