Retired Hopkinsville Police Department Major Danny Cunningham has died at the age of 65.
He passed away Thursday afternoon at his home in Hopkinsville, according to an obituary from Goodwin Funeral Home in Cadiz.
Cunningham was also a veteran of the U.S. Army and worked in asset protection at the Walmart Distribution Center following his retirement from HPD.
Retired Christian County Sheriff’s Lt. Scott Noisworthy was among those remembering Cunningham , saying he was one of the first influences on his young law enforcement career. Noisworthy worked at HPD before he went to the sheriff’s office and says Cunningham “guided many cops along the way.”
Cunningham is survived by his wife, son, mother and three siblings.
Memorial services will be held at a later date.
