Daniel "Danny" St. Vincent, age 66, of Belcourt, ND passed away on Thursday, September 2, 2021 at Sanford Hospital, Bismarck, ND.

Daniel Raymond "Danny" St. Vincent was born on February 14, 1955 near Walhalla, ND to Raymond and Ida (Hell) St. Vincent.  He was raised in Walhalla and attended St. Boniface Catholic School and later attended Walhalla Junior and Senior High where he excelled in football, wrestling, and track and field. He furthered his education at Valley City State College obtaining a Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Library Science while also playing football for the Vikings. He was united in marriage to Darcie Finley on June 22, 1979.  In their 40+ years together they had two sons, Andy and Arren. They later divorced.

Danny or "Saint" as he was commonly known, taught 7 ^th grade Life Science at Turtle Mountain Middle School. While teaching, he expanded the science program by helping to develop local and state science fairs for his students. He also took many students throughout the years to compete in national science competitions and other academic events. He truly was the biggest advocate for his students, no matter how difficult that could sometimes be. "Saint" retired from teaching in the spring of 2015 after 37 years of service to the community. Throughout his coaching career he coached football and wrestling at various levels. He loved coaching "His Braves" and guiding them to various victories and successes. Even when he wasn't coaching, Danny was always around supporting the teams and building relationships with the student-athletes that would go on to last a lifetime. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do in support of his players or fellow coaches. If they needed it, he found a way to get it.

When Danny wasn't coaching, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing softball, playing cards, the Mini Casino, watching his beloved Vikings and Twins, and watching old westerns on tv. He had a wonderful sense of humor and an even better laugh. His laugh could make everyone around him smile or laugh right along with him. He loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.  Danny will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his family members, students, athletes, and friends.

He is survived by his sons, Andy St. Vincent of Grand Forks and Arren (Brittany) St. Vincent of Rolla; along with grandchildren, Sutton and Lincoln; lifelong friend and companion Darcie St.Vincent of Grand Forks; aunt, Rosemary (Dwight) Jaros of Warroad, MN; siblings, Holly Grengs, Steven Frank, both of Walhalla, and Melanie Mosstad of Fargo; and multiple nieces and nephews.

Danny was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Ida, and sister Gloria (St.Vincent) Jerome.
