Danny Gene Houchins, age 73, of 406 Bass Haven Dr., DeFuniak Springs, died March

15, 2024, at home from complications of Congestive Heart Failure.

Born November 17, 1950, in Amarillo, Texas, to Garland and Mary (Hundley) Houchins.

He lived most of his life in Amarillo, Texas. He worked many jobs; from running a

grocery store, working on video games for arcades, as a glazier to remodeling and

construction. He loved working with wood and glass the most and spent many years

doing residential construction; even owning a construction company with a great friend

for several years. He, wife Lola, and five stepchildren moved to Okay, Oklahoma in

1989. This is where he started his construction business. He and Lola designed and

built a log home there, from scratch not a kit. They went on to buy and remodel a

historic home built in 1897 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. After coming to DeFuniak Springs,

Florida in the mid-2000s, on a tour down the East Coast in their travel trailer and staying

at Bass Haven RV Campground, they returned to Muskogee for a year. Then they

decided they loved it so much, they bought the campground and made Florida their

home. Danny is survived by his sons Jimmy Houchins, Jason Houchins (and wife Corey) of

Amarillo, James Honea (and wife Amber) of Amarillo, and daughter Tiffany Cloyd (and

husband Jay) of Amarillo. Also, by stepdaughter Misty Prado (of DeFuniak Springs) and

stepsons James Cook of Muskogee, Chris Cook (and wife Rowena) of Saipan, Rickey

Lee Cook of Okay, and Russell (Doug) Cook of Okay. He and Lola are survived by

many grandchildren; Zoe, Elizabeth, Kensly, Jeremy, Hunter, Austin, Elisa, Brooklynn,

Jackson, Brittany, Felicity, Nicolas, Christoper, Jordan, Gabrial, Gentry, Gabriella, and

Gracie Lynn. They are also survived by many great-grandchildren, as well as many

friends. Per Danny's wishes, there will be no service. There will be a memorial for he and Lola in

Muskogee, OK (date TBD). In Lew of flowers please donate the GoFundMe account to
