NOVEMBER 28 • 2019 | 63 Man of Many Talents with a Kind, Generous Heart RONELLE GRIER CONTRIBUTING WRITER D aniel R. “Danny” Victor was a man of many talents. He was a brilliant and compassionate attorney, a creative entrepre- neur, a gourmet cook and a bold adventurer. The only thing greater than his impressive list of accomplishments was his kind and generous heart, which he shared freely with his fam- ily and many close friends. Danny, who lived in Bloomfield Hills, died Nov. 12, 2019, at age 43 of compli- cations from a stroke he suffered earlier this year. He was the con- summate big broth- er to his siblings, who admired his individuality and fearless approach to life. According to his sister Sandra, when it came to doing some- thing new or daring, Danny’ s signature response was always, “Why not?” He danced as if no one was watching, literally and figuratively. Ronnie appreciated his brother’ s free spirit and inim- itable sense of style, which earned Danny a place on Hour Detroit’ s best dressed list in 2008. When Ronnie joined Danny and their father, nationally renowned family law attorney Richard Victor, as a partner in their law firm, it was a career and personal highlight for them all. “Danny believed in living life his way, staying positive and framing your own world,” Ronnie said. Despite the demands of a thriving law practice, Danny always put his family first, willingly leaving the office to spend time with his sons, Davis and Stirling. He coached their sports teams, encouraged their interests and spoke with pride about their accomplishments and activities. He and their mother, Tracy Moen, remained devoted co-parents and dear friends in the years following their divorce. Danny cherished his summers at Camp Tanuga, where he made many lifelong friends. He went to Groves High School, partici- pating in student gov- ernment and delivering the commencement address. He attended James Madison College at Michigan State University and received his law degree from Vermont Law School. “Danny saw the good in the world and in other people, and he helped others see the good within themselves,” said Rabbi Aaron Bergman of Adat Shalom Synagogue. During the last years of his too-short life, Danny demon- strated his considerable entre- preneurial skills by founding his own successful company, Gulfstream Gardens, where he served as CEO. After his debilitating stroke, which rendered him unable to speak, Danny worked tire- lessly to regain his skills. His parents, Richard and Denise Victor, provided unflagging support and encouragement, celebrating every small step of progress. Speaking at the funeral service, Rabbi Aaron Starr of Congregation Shaarey Zedek said, “He (Danny) had a cha- risma, a self-confidence, a freedom all his own, and it was electrifying. He was generous with his time, his money, his possessions and his wisdom.” Danny is survived by his parents, Richard and Denise Victor, Judith Dubin and the late Marvin Dubin; brother and sisters, Ronald (Heather) Victor, Sandra (Adam) Cosola, Shelby Dubin (partner Dr. Silvio Cozzetto), Bruce (Suzanne) Dubin and Eric (Dalia) Dubin; cherished chil- dren, Davis Victor and Stirling Victor; grandparents, David and Diana Berman. He is also survived by his former wife and mother of his children, Tracy Moen; and Tracy’ s parents, Bette and Ron Moen. He was the adored grandson of the late Simon and the late Helen Victor, and the late Saul and the late Rebecca Adaskin. Danny is also survived by loving aunts, uncles, a niece, nephews, cousins and a world of friends.
