Daniel James Hybner
10/20/1928 - 7/25/2020
Daniel James (DJ) Hybner, age 91, of Lake Jackson, Texas passed away at home with family at his side. As we all know DJ loved his God, family, and the great outdoors with hunting, fishing, poker, golfing, bar-b-quing, softball, POLKA, and SHINER/Church picnics.
DJ was born on October 20, 1928; the youngest of nine children, into a wonderful loving and large family in 1928 in Shiner Texas. DJ joined the Army at the age of 17 with special permission and was stationed in Japan and as per him "WE NEED TO PROTECT THIS GREAT NATION". He then tried his hand at farming for a few years. He decided it was not for him, and moved to Lake Jackson Texas in 1950 to work for DOW Chemical in Operations. DJ worked there for 26 years and then decided to open up DJ's Bar-B-Q in Clute Texas, which became quite popular. He learned the Bar-B-Q business from several people, especially his sister; Annie Sofka, who had Otto's Bar-B-Q on Memorial in Houston. He loved cooking for large crowds and small family get togethers.
DJ met the woman he would love forever at a blind date in Shiner. He says he set eyes on Alice and that was it. He said "I am going to marry her". They married on June 19, 1965. DJ retired from the DJ's Bar-B-Q in 1993, though this did not stop him from having his "Conference Meetings every Tuesday at 4 pm" with family and friends. Thank you Rory and Tammy Neal for letting him be a part of DJ's till the end.
