Looking at his guestbook what an impact he made. So many lives better because Danny was in it. But none better than his family. I’ll miss him, and I’m glad I got to call him a friend.

So sorry for your loss. Mr. Heard was one of my favorite teachers at Wonderview. I hated math at the time, but Mr. Heard at least made it interesting. He always had a cheerful "Hello" for me in class.

Mr. Heard was an amazing math teacher and gave me confidence with algebra and geometry at a time when STEM was just becoming a concept. Without his encouragement, I may not have ever qualified and had the confidence to become a Bill & Melinda Gates Millennium Scholar which helped me afford my Duke education. He not only changed my life but countless others. Ms Heard, my heart aches for you and I will keep you and your family in my prayers as I know he will be missed by so many on this earth.

Mr. Danny Heard and his wife, Mrs, Donna, were by far two of my favorite teachers at Wonderview High School. They were two of the most influential educators in my life. Mr. Heard was so passionate about the difference he made in our education. He will always hold a special place in my heart. They broke the mold after this man as far as patience and compassion. He hated when we would pick with him and call him “Danny” or “Dan the Man” but he was the man and I’ll never forget you Danny! My deepest sympathy and condolences for the Heard family.
