I have always loved Danny Tharp just like a brother. He possessed charisma,charm and a genuine love for his family and friends. He will be greatly missed. I was so lucky to have him for a friend. He stood by you through the good and the bad times. His sense of humor and compassion was an inspiration to me. His dedication and love for his Wife and Children were boundless. Danny served the Citizens of Muscogee County for over 23 years as a Deputy Sheriff. He never backed down from doing his job, and was proud to have helped protect the Citizens of Columbus Georgia. Simply put: No better friend, No better man! I love you Danny and I will miss you dearly. You gave me the best gift anybody could have, that was knowing and loving you as my true friend.
