EDWARDSBURG, Mich. — Danny L. Tevlin, 59, of Edwardsburg, passed away at 11 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 5, at Elkhart (Ind.) General Hospital.
He was born Nov. 24, 1954, in Elkhart, to Owen F. and Betty J. (Wogomon) Tevlin.
On May 27, 1978, he married his soul mate, Melanie (Francel) Tevlin, in Elkhart.

Danny worked for more than 40 years as a painter/decorator and for most of that time was employed with Alexander Jansen Painting.
Danny was an avid bow hunter for many years and enjoyed the outdoors. He loved to write poetry about his passions — hunting and family. He was also passionate about rock and roll music and loved going to rock 'n roll concerts and passing this passion on to his son, David.
