It is with profound sadness that we announce the tragic passing of Danny Sumner and his beloved 6-year-old son, Donovan, who both lost their lives this past Saturday in a drowning accident. This heartbreaking loss has left a deep void in the hearts of all who knew them.
Danny Sumner was a man of unwavering faith, integrity, and character. His strength and kindness were evident to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Above all, Danny was a devoted husband to his wife, Maddie, and a loving father to Donovan, who was his pride and joy. His love for his family knew no bounds, and he lived his life with a spirit of selflessness and care for those around him.
Danny was also an incredibly talented professional basketball player, most notably with the Beltway Bombers. On the court, his dedication, passion, and leadership made him a cherished member of the team. His skill and sportsmanship inspired both teammates and fans alike, and his legacy will forever be etched in the hearts of the Bombers organization.
From our entire Beltway Bombers family and mine, we extend our deepest condolences to Maddie, Danny’s family, and all those who were blessed to have known and loved Danny and Donovan. They will be remembered with love, and their memory will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have shared in their lives.
Rest in peace, Danny and Donovan. You will be forever missed, but never forgotten.
