Lifetime Rio Vista resident, Rio Vista High School graduate, and local business operations leader; Danielle Simpson died at the family ranch on June 14th. Danielle loved the many animals she shepherded, winning national acclaim and championships competing with her Large Red Horse-Drawn Wagon and Percheron Horses. She also was a respected Sprint Car racer, and served our community admirably as the Lead Stage Technician for the Rockin the River Summer Concert Series in downtown Rio Vista. Danielle is the daughter of Dan Simpson, long-time Rio Vista resident and local business owner, Lion’s Club Governor, and active community supporter. Her mother Zan Simpson lives in Rio Vista and is planning a Day of Celebration for Danielle at The Point Restaurant on August 12th at 2:00 PM.
Based upon Dan’s love for music, and his belief that sometimes music knows just how to touch and how to heal, he is scheduling an evening concert of remembrance on Danielle’s behalf.
