Danny Joe Core

Danny Joe Core, age 85, of Caulksville, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on his family farm where he was born and raised, surrounded by those he loved. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 67 years, Joyce Core.

Danny was born to Alvin and Mary Magalene Core and spent his life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. He was a devoted father to his daughter, Brenda DeArmond and her husband Curtis and his son, Donald Joe Core. He was a proud grandfather to Dustin Core, Garrett Core and wife Shanae, Jantzen DeArmond, Garrison DeArmond and wife Kelsea, and Denver DeArmond. Danny was also blessed with great-grandchildren: Clara Core, Alayna DeArmond, Devyn DeArmond, Amelia DeArmond, and Alivia DeArmond, all of whom brought him great joy.

In his younger years, Danny was an owner-operator of a dump truck, earning a reputation for reliability and determination. He later dedicated 42 years of his life to dairy farming, where he became known for his tireless work ethic and commitment to providing for his family. Farming was not just his livelihood-it was his way of life.

Danny’s legacy is one of perseverance, humility, and deep love for his family and community.
