Obit Daniel “Danny” Scott MarzDaniel “Danny” Scott Marz passed away on Thursday, March 8, 2018, following a valiant fight against the demons that stole his smile, happiness and bright personality. Our hearts are broken and will never be whole again.

Danny was born Feb. 7, 1962, in St. Louis, Missouri, to William Scott and Beulah Fisher Marz. He grew up in Camarillo, California. Danny later resided in the Lancaster/Palmdale area of California, where he found a love of landscaping, which he developed into a career.

In 1998, Danny was ready to move on from bachelorhood and relocated to Ogden, Utah, to search for true love. He married Tracey Holladay on July 8, 2000, in California, settled in Ogden, and became a stepfather to Lee Johnson. He and Tracey had two beautiful boys, Steven Jeffrey and Jackson Daniel. Danny embraced fatherhood with his entire soul; nothing in life brought him more joy, pride and fulfillment than time with his family. Some people pretend to love parenthood, but when Danny beamed about raising his boys, he meant every word.

He spent most of his career as a landscaper and concert promoter, where he met and became lifelong friends with hundreds of musicians. Over the past five years, he and Tracey have been the owners and operators of the Pit Stop Car Wash and Coffee Shop in Tooele. He has been an active and beloved member of the Tooele community over the past 10 years when the family moved to Erda, Utah, and has impacted the lives of many with his outgoing personality and infectious smile. His heart was as big as his smile and he gave endlessly to his community through smiles, stories and community events.

Danny loved people and anyone who knew him knows he loved to talk. But he was also a good listener. He was truly interested in the lives of people and he was eager to celebrate successes and step in to help when people were struggling. Danny also strove to use his time, energy and connections to do charitable work.

Danny is survived by his wife, Tracey Holladay Marz; sons, Steven Jeffrey and Jackson Marz, Erda, Utah; stepson Lee Johnson, Lancaster, California; brothers, Steve (Suzanne) Marz, Oxnard, California and Jeff (Elaine) Marz, Lehi, Utah; sister Charlyn (John) Parker, Riverton, Utah; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Danny was preceded in death by his mother and father.

Funeral services will be Saturday, March 17 at 11 a.m. at the Stansbury South Stake Center, 240 Interlochen Lane, Stansbury Park, Utah, with memorial visitation at 9 a.m. before services. Funeral support provided by Tate Mortuary.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the Tooele County Sheriff’s Office, Tooele EMT/Fire Department, and Tooele City Police Department for their compassion, professionalism, and concern to the family during this traumatic and tragic event.  The family would also like to express their gratitude for the outreach and support from the Life’s Worth Living Foundation, Ladies Community Club of Tooele, and the numerous local business and citizens who came together to support the family during this time.
