Born on November 19, 1976 in Phoenix, Arizona Daniel always remained in the valley area. He graduated from Moon Valley High School and attended college.
Daniel enjoyed off-roading and camping with friends. Many years he drove a jeep, and later his motorcycles. Daniel daily rode, enjoyed and loved his Suzuki VZR 1800 Cruiser motorcycle. He worked many places including several years at Woodworkers Source, and as a forklift operator for various companies. He recently found a new role as an employee of Terumo, filling medical supply orders.
Daniel’s creativeness was demonstrated in his drawings, miniatures and artistic projects. He created and installed his own tile design for his floor and fashioned wooden kitchen countertops and corbels for his home. He also recently built his own computer from parts.
His friends and family fondly remember his easy laugh and smile. He had a great sense of humor and loved to share things that made him laugh. Board games and tabletop role playing games were always enjoyed by him, especially because he enjoyed the company of those he played with.
He had a curious mind and liked to learn and try new projects. It always seemed he was working on something artistic and around his house. He had a great sense of personal responsibility and character. He continued his spiritual journey throughout his life.
Daniel is survived by his parents Larry & Sara Kugler, his siblings: Ben Kugler (wife Jennifer), Beth Johnson (husband Daleno), Andy Kugler (wife Bea) and his aunts and uncles: Sue Davis (husband Russ), Judi Harrold, Garry Kugler. He also has many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
