DANNY RAY COUFAL
Warsaw, Mo.
Danny Ray Coufal, 68, of Warsaw, Mo., passed away Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022, at the Golden Valley Memorial Hospital in Clinton, Mo. He was born on June 14, 1953, in Swisher, Iowa, the son of Frank Coufal and Maxine (Renfro) Coufal.
Danny owned and operated Coufal's Trucking, then worked for Phillips Trucking and Banner Valley Hauling. He enjoyed snowmobiling and sports of all kinds, including watching his sons wrestle. He enjoyed attending dirt track races, snowmobiling, was a fan of NHRA, NASCAR, football, wrestling and girls' basketball. Danny was quite the goofball and knew how to make people laugh. Everyone would agree Danny was quite the charmer, loved to sing and dance, and was most well-known for tinkering in his garage with a cold Coors Light, especially on his ol' Ford truck.
He was preceded in death by his father, Frank Coufal; and a sister, Kathy McNamara.
Danny is survived by his mother, Maxine Coufal of Warsaw; two sons, Dustin Coufal and his fiancé Mindy Washburn of Marion, Iowa, and Austin Coufal and his wife Jill of Alburnett, Iowa; a sister, Pam Lukecart and her husband Leroy of Lincoln, Mo., his girlfriend, Kelly Williams of Warsaw; and 12 grandchildren, Brantley Coufal, Shayden Washburn, Mason Coufal, Alexi Washburn, Hunter Washburn, Tayten Coufal, Kathryn Coufal, Chase Coufal, Paislee Bureggeman, Kenzlee Bureggeman, Bentlee Bureggeman and Tylan Williams.
Arrangements for his cremation are under the direction of the Reser Funeral Home, Warsaw, Mo.
Expressions of sympathy can be addressed to Austin Coufal, c/o 101 Longworth Ave. Alburnett, IA 52202.
