Danny Humble

Danny David Humble, the son of Wendell and Marjorie (Winter) Humble, was born on September 4, 1954, in Portsmouth, Virginia. He died at the age of 71 years on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, from cancer.

Danny was raised in Rolette until moving with the family to rural Wolford. He attended Wolford Public School with his siblings. On June 28, 1974, he was united in marriage to Sharon Irene Wolfe in Esmond, North Dakota. They lived briefly on the Winter family farm before moving to Raub, North Dakota. They resided there for a couple of years before returning to the Winter family farm.

Danny was a farmer and spent most of his life raising crops and cattle near Wolford. He started farming for himself when his grandfather offered him his home and land. He began raising Hereford cattle with the help of Tom Hartman Sr. After a few years, Danny acquired Tom’s herd of cattle and started farming his land. In April of 2006, he moved his family to Wahpeton, where he was employed as a farm laborer for Gene Wefel. He was again doing the work he loved and continued working until April of 2025.

Danny loved woodworking. He built custom workbenches for himself and others, as well as family name signs, name blocks, and various other items. He was especially proud of the butcher block top he put on the workbenches. He also loved collecting John Deere tractors and memorabilia and shared this passion with his children and grandchildren. Danny enjoyed playing pinochle with friends and family, playing with his grandchildren, visiting with neighbors and friends, and pulling his camper to Arizona and other campgrounds. His hardworking and generous personality will be greatly missed.

Danny is survived by his wife, Sharon; children, Michael (Patti) of Grand Forks, Kristy (Tyler) of Fairmount, and Matthew of Wahpeton; grandchildren, Katie, Daniel, Marion, Alexander, Cayden, Brady, Bryson, Emmelynn, and Addilynn; siblings, Connie (David) of Arizona City, Arizona, Randy (Geneva) of Menoken, Corey (Katie) of Towner, Benny (Paulette) of Rugby, Alyson (Lyman) of Wolford, and Audrey Milligan of Cody, Wyoming; aunts, nieces, nephews; other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and son Bryan.
