  • Obituary
  • Guestbook
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.

Survivors include his brother, Phil Hybner; his son, Jack Hybner, of Clute Texas; daughter, Debby Hybner Ramirez and Marshall Ramirez, of Richwood Texas; grandchildren, Chrissi Hybner Daniel and Erik Daniel, of Angleton, Daniel (DJ) Ramirez and Jackie, of Dickinson, Texas, Mike Ramirez, of Richwood, Texas, and Stacy Hybner, of Freeport Texas; great-grandchildren, Gavin Pennington, of Lake Jackson, Terry Daniel Urquilla, of Freeport Texas, Mercedes Hybner, of Clute Texas, Alexis Hybner, of Brazoria, Tasha Barringer, of Dickinson, Shylo Ramirez, of Pasadena Texas, Emmett Barringer, of Dickinson, Jesse Barringer, of Dickinson, Jayden Hybner, of Freeport Texas, Jonathan Daniel, of Angleton, and Clara Mae Daniel, of Angleton; and many more cherished nieces, nephews, and cousins around the world. DJ will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

DJ was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Alice Hybner; son, Harold Hybner; and daughter, Joni Hybner.

Honorary Pallbearers are Percy Gaspard, Paul Gaspard, Rory Neal, Ernie Mensik, D.C. Boston, and Ron Pislak.

Mass, Rosary, and Visitation will be held at Saint Michael's Catholic Church in Lake Jackson, Texas on August 5, 2020. Family visitation is 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The family will receive friends from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. At 4:30 p.m. a rosary will be conducted by the Knights of Columbia, DJ Hybner was 4th degree Knight.

Eternal rest grant unto him, oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace. Amen.

Though I met you only once in my life to my knowledge, it is an honor to carry the same name as you. My condolences to his Immediate family and loved ones during this time. I'm sure he will be greatly missed. You will all be in my prayers.

Debby, Jack and families, we are so sorry for your loss, as well as ours. Uncle Dan was so much fun. We loved playing dominoes and farkle with him. I loved playing after him and watching the twinkle in his eye. He will be sorely missed. Our memories will be cherished. Blessings and Rest in Peace Uncle Dan. Give your siblings a shout out from their family here on earth. Love you all.

Uncle Dan was larger than life. He amazed me with the life that he led. He was the best storyteller and would regale his nieces and nephews with stories that were just incredible. And that word "incredible" doesn't really describe the stories or hoe he told them. Playing dominoes with him was an experience that words can describe. If you ever played with him, you know what I am talking about. Another aspect of knowing him. I love Uncle Dan and will always have wonderful memories of his time with us. My thoughts and prayers to my cousins As they have lost man among men. Rest In Peace, Uncle Dan. Glad to know that you are up in Heaven with Mom and your other brothers and sisters.

I've known your parents for a very long time....I worked with your Mom Alice ...she was a Sec'y for St.Michael's and I was a Sec'y for St. Jerome's in Clute.
Just a remembrance...when our daughter got married in June 17, 1978...D.J's was their first catering job!
Your parents were very kind, loving & caring!
May God Bless all of you!

It was an honor to know such a great & kind man. He always had stories & shared many laughs with Tim & me. I will treasure the fishing trips meeting him out at our "secret spot" or time spent at Tim's family's farm. Above all he taught us about devotion to God, his sweet Alice, family & friends. May he Rest in Peace. And may we all share the kindness of DJ in all we do
