Daniel Perez passed away on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at the age of 50 surrounded by those he loved at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, CA. He was born April 25th, in Mesa, AZ and was affectionately known as “Son #5”. Danny is survived by wife Christine whom he lived with in Cypress, California, parents Ben and Emerita, brothers David, Lenny; sister Christina, sister-in-laws: Kathy and Kristine; brother-in-law JD, children Joe, Erika and Richard, and numerous nieces and nephews who adored him. Dan could be spotted enjoying life on the golf course, in a bar packed with L.A. Lakers fans cheering on the Phoenix Suns or at a Casino poker table working on his winning hand! We’ll miss his outrageously funny stories, his love for life and his colorful expressions that often couldn’t be repeated in mixed company. A sharing of stories of your journey with Danny will begin at 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 30th followed by a scripture service in memory of Danny at Resthaven Park Mortuary & Cemetery, 4310 E. Southern Ave, Phoenix, AZ. Family and friends who shared in the wealth of Danny’s life are invited to attend the services and join us afterwards at the Perez household, 550 W. Vaughn St. Tempe, AZ.
