He is survived by his brothers, David Stevens and his wife, Jayne, of Auburn, and his children, Stephanie, Joe and Jennifer, and Michael Stevens, his wife, Lisa, and daughter, Madeline, of Monmouth; and uncle, Eugene Stevens of Lewiston; aunt, Margaret Stevens of Auburn. Danny is also survived by maternal aunts, Gert Mathews of Lewiston and Carol Mathews-Lasco of Auburn.

Danny is predeceased by uncles, Calvert Stevens of Portland, Ray Stevens of Portland, and Bradford Stevens of Auburn; aunts, Catherine, Sister Mary Francis of Portland, Ada Jordan of Portland, Libby Sylvester of Bingham, Rose Marie Coffin of Venice, Fla., and Elinor Rosell of Auburn; and his grandparents, Roy and Florence Stevens and Maryanne (Gaga) and Wallace Mathews.

The family would like to extend special thanks to Su McLaren, for her companionship; Buckey and Debbie Jewett of Minot for the six years of loving support they gave Danny while he re-acclimated to life in Maine; and Mark Sharp and David Cooms Sr. of Lewiston for their special care.
