Danny Joey Harvey II was born on June 5, 1977, in San Diego, CA. He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Danny Joey Harvey Sr. and Belinda Elizabeth Waggoner. Danny received his formal education in the San Diego Unified School District, graduating from Hoover High School in 1995. After high school, he relocated to Great Lakes, IL, to continue his studies. He attended ITT Technical Institute in Schaumburg, IL, and graduated in 1999. He then returned to San Diego, where he worked in the IT field for many years. Later, Danny became a manager at the University of California, San Diego, where he remained employed until his passing.
Danny was a light in our family, the biggest jokester with a great smile – he kept the family laughing. His greatest joy in life was raising his daughter, Danye. She was the light of his life and he took pride in guiding her as only a father can. Baseball was a passion for them both, and Danny took great pride in coaching Danye’s softball team for many years.
On Saturday May 3, 2025, Danny transitioned from time to eternity.
Danny leaves to mourn his passing his beloved daughter Danye Albritton, her mother and his greatest supporter Gretchen Mills, his Goddaughters; Tiana (Caleb) Mineo and Amaya Newton, both of San Diego, CA. He is also survived by his sister Malika Hollins of San Diego, CA, his cousin/brother Ramon (Marsha) Davis of Menifee, CA, cousin/sister Myisha (Tyree) Newton of San Diego, CA, aunts; Bettye Flowers of San Diego, CA, and Juanita (James) Nelson of Zion, IL, uncles; Willie J. Hill and Michael (Tina) Harvey, both of San Diego, CA, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and dear friends who will miss him deeply.
Danny’s warmth, humor, and unwavering love will forever live in our hearts.
