I think about you all of the time. Although your time on earth has expired, I search for you throughout my days. I search for your style, things that you used to like, just anything... 
I can't believe how young you left me. It is truly a loss growing older without someone that I looked up to so much. I hang on to the good times. Remember when you taught me how to brake? I still brake just like you showed me. I believe it does save me gas and saves my brakes. I have a whole playlist of music that reminds me of back in the day on 3rd street times. I vibe and cry. I think about how fun those times were. I wish you were at the family parties and gatherings. I wish I had some of your things to keepsake here in my home. I love you. Ask God to leave me little signs of you more often. I ask God that you always hear me when I talk to you. I know only God can be everywhere at once. That is why I ask him to please make sure you get my messages. I am sorry if you hear me when I argue why you aren't here. I can't help it. Sometimes I want to yell at you because I need you selfishly. I know you're in a better place. Please look over your parents and over Betty & Alex. We love you so much. I'll see you again, -Erika

I continue to read each of the updated memories and  I keep the white Rosary from the visitation services in a side table drawer.  Each time I open the drawer I run my fingers across the beads, say his name out loud, miss and think of him fondly.  Thank you Jose for taking the time to teach me about the Rosary that day.  I have many happy memories of coming to know and working closely with Danny.   He will always hold a special place in my heart and thoughts.  He left this life way too soon.  I am really glad that family members are still using this forum to share loving memories and challenges of learning to live without his physical presence.  Grief is a journey in itself.  I'm so grateful to have gone to the visitation and see the love that this family shares.  I notice that Danny is often mentioned as having been central to celebrating family and friends.  His indelible marks remain as part of each of us as we move through the loss.   How each chooses to honor his place in our lives, now and in the future, will evolve and never end.  His love and legacy cannot be erased.  Let grief flow through you as it comes in waves.  May the edges of grief soften over time so it becomes easier to replay happy times with less sadness, and embrace the joy that Danny exuded.   Please know that he is not forgotten...he touched us all in such positive ways!  
Heartfelt regards,
Deb 

 

I'm so sorry for all the pain your are all feeling.  I as the Aunt of Danny feel his absence in my life.  I miss not seeing his.  I feel like I'm going to see him when we get together.  The more times goes by the harder and stronger the pain.  I personally have a close bond relationship with Alex Danny Elizabeth because you grew up with me, it was my most fun and pleasure to hold all of you when you were babies.  I felt like you guys were my babies.  I would have never thought I would have see any of you go before me it just doesn't make any sense.  Danny I'll miss that big smile and those deep dimples.  I'll also miss not hugging you squeezing your cheeks, hearing your giggle smile.  I to just say That you will be with Grandma and my little sister also named Gloria please give them all my love.  I will be here one day to when God decides that is my turn.  I love you very much Danny that piece of the puzzle that is missing will remain for ever I must learn how to live with it.  You will never be forgotten.  Enjoy heaven all the Angels I will for ever treasure you're memories.

My nephew Danny was my heart on earth,
Now he is my guardian angel in heaven.

He was a gentleman,
He opened doors and made everyone feel welcome,
He never knew how much I would miss him,

Oh God, let an angel return from heaven,  just this one time.
I won't ask you God for the return of my mother, for she had a full life, but I plead with you God, make this one exception and return our Danny to me and to us all.
 God let my angel nephew fall back into my arms.

When he was a little boy, he lit up the room with his smile.
As he grew older into a fine young man, he warmed up a room with his laughter and enthusiasm for family and life.
 
I miss him more than anyone will ever imagine. 
I never had a son,  but to me,  he was the closest thing to a son. 
I trusted him with all my vulnerabilities. He always encouraged me to go on... at times the roles would switch and he would become my mentor, my support, and always told me how proud he was of me. 

Now,  my sweet lovable Danny is with mom, a person he loved most in this world.  There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about Danny. Mom, enjoy him in the heavens. 

- Love Tia - Lisa.   


By Gloria Eynon, 

A year ago today mom was put to rest.  

This year, on the exact date - 
  July 7th my Nephew Danny was put to rest. 

It has been very painful as well,  he was only 37 and had a whole life still ahead of him. 

 I feel like Danny  was robbed  out of my life.  He was such an amazing person. He brought so much joy to all of us. 

Now he reunites with his beloved grandma, he truly loved grandma. May  the both of them enjoy being with all the beautiful angels,   both so loved and missed.   

Danny, I’m going  to miss your random texts,  you would send me so many messages to brighten my day - to make me laugh,  I loved your sense of humor and your beautiful smile,   with those cute dimples.  

 You  have my heart ❤for ever.  

My heavy heart and I  will miss you so much.  

RIP my sweet boy. 

Love your tia Gloria

August 5 - 
Happy heavenly birthday 🎂! I love you brother. 

- Love Betty 


By Elizabeth Hill 

These last two years have been full of blessings because I welcomed my healthy babies into the world, but have also been the worst times of my life at the same time because I’ve lost some of the closest people to me.
 Before my grandma’s passing I never knew the pain of tragedy. I wonder how life can be so beautiful one moment and then completely dark the next? 
I miss you Nina.
 I hope you were there to hug Danny when he last closed his eyes  on this earth.  
I love you both and miss you both. I wish I could go back to two years ago when I didn’t know what real pain was.
Love Elizabeth

*Danny Stories*

This picture is really hard to look at because it was such a great day. 

I wish I could go back & give him a big hug. I was starting to introduce Sean to the family. At this point Sean and I knew we wanted to be together forever. 

We went on a double date with Jackie and Danny. We went to the fair. That was such a fun night. 

Sean later told me that night he had privately told Danny that he wanted to marry me and if he had his permission to ask my parent’s for my hand in marriage.


 Danny jokingly said, “Are you sure, man.” Then he started laughing. Sean said Danny was just joking like Danny always did. Of course Danny said yes. Later we got on this closed ferries wheel. That was such a fun night.

I will never accept he’s gone. It’s so unreal. I’ve had people in the past that I love pass away. But this pain is a whole other level. It makes me question life and what’s the point of being here. What are we doing all this for? Life has lost its luster for me. Danny was so special. So amazing. So unique. So much fun and full of love. I could go on and on. He was enthusiastic about everything. I miss his enthusiasm. He was always happy. Danny loved celebrating everything. Danny was truly something special. I don’t think I can ever recover. I don’t want to go on without him. #dannystories

Love Elizabeth- your lil sister.

*Danny Stories* 
When we were little we had a lot of family parties. I remember Danny and Fredy would alway leave and go to my dad’s Chevy truck because it had a camper and they could play & talk alone without being bothered. 
Danny & Fredy would go for hours to play and talk inside my dad's truck. The camper had carpet inside and felt like a little cozy private playroom. They were always soooo close since they were babies. 

My dad has a 1985 Chevy Silverado truck. My dad loves Chevys. 
Anyway, my dad had a camper where my parents would put us in whenever they took us anywhere. It was our family vehicle. My mom would load us up in there and we’d play games in there. We’d roll in the middle of the seats up and down; and go “whoah” when the truck moved. As if it was a rollercoaster ride.
 If it was a long ride where we would go on the freeway we’d play “Our Car Game”. It was a game where we’d pick a car. He’d pick one car and I’d pick another car and see which car stayed with us the longest. Who’s ever car stayed the longest one would win. Then the one who lost would have to pick another car. We’d play this until we got off the freeway. Gosh, I  miss him!!!! #dannystories

Btw… Danny always won the car game because he was a little older and smart enough to know the cars in the left lane meant they were staying longer on the freeway. I’d always choose cars on the right lane so they’d get off of the freeway more often and I’d lose.

I love my brother!  Love you Betty. 

By Jacqueline Pulido 

I  lost the love of my life Danny, my partner, my protector. 

My heart aches so much I don't know  how much more I can take. 

I can’t believe this is happening. It doesn’t feel real. I don't know how to continue without him how do I go forward without him by my side. 

I will never hear him tell me hi beautiful or I love you or babycakes ( nickname for me) I will never get flowers from him every Friday. 

He spoiled me so much and babied me and took care of me that I don’t know how to do anything without him. 

He was such a nurture such a romantic and such a giver. 

Everyone loved him. 

He did anything and everything to always make me happy. 

My life will never be the same ever again. 

Danny, I  love you sooooo much baby.  I miss you soooo much. 

I wish I can hold you, touch you, kiss you one last time.  I wish you could put your arms around me again and tell me it will be ok babycakes - I  got you. 

Please hold my hand and walk with me through this horrible time. 

You are my angel now so please watch over me and continue to protect me from heaven. 

I hope your dancing in heaven with your grandma. 

I love you forever baby.

Love,  Jackie 💘

Danny... RIP.  
I've been asking you for little signs,  big signs,  obvious signs to give me a semblance of knowing your soul is resting in peace - clearly you have given them to me. I randomly made the below collage- at a second glance, I see the sevens again - your lil kid jersey 2+5=7 , your H.S. jersey 71 (also the year I was born), the furthest tower I  ran 🏃‍♀️ to every morning in Honolulu - of course was the 7th tower. 

Oh Danny- wish you would have stuck around for the rest of Vikki's entire life - to continue to be the wonderful cousin you were to her. 
You were always so sweet to Vikki - showered her with so many hugs and kisses and endless giving of presents 🎁on every occasion.

 I appreciate you and your wife standing in the long lines on Black Fridays,  you both sacrificed your sleep,  rest, and spent so much money on all the kiddos as if they were your very own ... so much  joy you shared with all of the children. 

My daughter will treasure the memory of you Danny,  as she wraps her arms around  her huge Minnie's and Mickeys ....she will remember your loving hugs and beautiful genuine smile. 

Oh Danny - how  could you not know how wonderful you were?????????

I'm for ever heart broken 💔😔😢  

Love your tia Lisa. 

Dearest Jose and Family,

The tribute shared tonight by Alex and Betty was perfect.  It described precisely the Danny I have known.   He never lost being that energetic little boy with the sparkle in his eyes and dimples when he smiled.

I'm terribly sad that he has physically left.  I'm grateful to have had the privilege to know him, work with him and witness his glory at Angels games in his team gear.   I will remember him, his proud and loving family,  the stories I heard tonight and be filled with the joy he gave to me and others.  What a gift.  Thank you Danny!

Deb : )

 

Dear Danny
You were always the big brother I never had. You always looked out for me. You wanted nothing but the best for me. You always supported me and gave me the best advice. You were always there for me.

Losing you is like loosing a piece of my soul. We were suppose to get rich and old. Am glad I got the chance to tell you how I always looked up to you. How I wish I had half the charisma and humor you had. 

Am goin to miss you big brother more then anything in this world has to offer. Life will never be the same without you. I will make you proud. 

I know your always with me. I just wish you were still here to share everything am going through. I know your still looking out for me. You’ll always be an angel protecting me. I love you primo. Until we meet again save me a place in heaven. 



Dear Cousin Danny, 
It seems so unfair and unreal that I'm writing a memory in your obituary, wishing I could share this in  your presence .  How painful life can be.  As I write this, I  find joy and peace  knowing that at this very moment you are in the presence of our lord.  You are more alive today then ever before like Jesus said in John 11:25 " I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die."  Despite knowing this truth, it hurts deeply that I will never get to hug you again here on earth. I will never get to see you at our family events. What deep sorrow we have as a family. Cousin Danny, I want you to know how much you meant to this family. When a member of our family parishes a piece of our heart goes with them. A piece of our hearts left us when you and grandma passed away. The Pulido family will never be the same without you or my grandma's presence. Growing up I felt privileged to be a part of the Pulido family.  I feel incredibly privileged to have been chosen to be your cousin.  No matter how busy you were, you always made it a point to attend our family events. I remember for abbys first birthday when you and Jackie were one of the first ones to show up and  I didn't get a chance to see you guys but Eddie did because you had another event to attend to but you made it a point to stop by, even if it was for short time.   I appreciated so much how you and Jackie took the time to come celebrate abbys first birthday. Cousin Danny, thank you for bringing a good woman into our family, thank you for loving us unconditionally and for always being there.  Cousin you will be missed deeply, your legacy will continue through our children and your light here on earth will never be dimmed. You left an impactful imprint in our hearts.  It will be exciting to know that the next time I get to give u a hug  we will be together in the presence of the the lord. 

Danny I remember when they brought you home from hospital, and I was so happy to have another little brother. You and Alex are my little brothers because a I didn't have any until you came into my life.  We shared so many beautiful moments growing up together birthdays, pool parties , trick or treating and one of your favorite holidays involving fireworks just to name a few.  There are many more embedded in my head.  I'm going to miss your smile and laughter that would light up any room.  I will miss your personality and charisma.  You were such a good cousin to my children and treated my wife with up most respect. I love you Danny take care of Nina uncle Dave Gigolo and Shaggy. Until we meet again R.I.P.

By Gloria Eynon, 

I'm going through your pictures.  I find myself in much disbelief that you left so soon,  with no clue of us knowing you were leaving. 

 I treasure all the good times we spent together, traveling to Michoacán, Mexico, Guatemala and all the amusement parks.  

You were such a joy, you were so fun.

 Danny - you will always have a very special part of my ❤heart. 

 I know it’s not good bye,  but until I see you again. 

Love Gloria 💘


By Sofia Olivo, 

Danny  was a hard working man. He  always put 100% into everything he did!! 

I knew him very good I worked with him for years. 
 He  gave his  best effort on everything he did! 

It is going to be heartbreaking not to see him any more. 

My mom is enjoining him in haven.  😇

Love Sofia 💘


By Elizabeth Hill 

 I was so proud of the man he’d become. He prided himself in being a great husband, being an amazing uncle/padrino, had a great career, had his retirement plan all worked, was excited about investing. 

He was always so positive and so determined in achieving his goals. 

He was always pushing others to make goals and achieve their goals. 

I was so proud of him. I admired my brother so much. 
Love Betty 💘


Danny 
Quiero darle las gracias  a dios por  aberte  conocido gracias por querer  tanto a mis hijos y estar  en sus cumpleaños   en los días más especiales por sus regalos y cuando ibas a casa a platicar con nosotros siempre pensando en nosotros  te bamos  extrañar tanto esa sonrisa que era única  siempre sonriendo  te queremos mucho siempre vivirás en nuestros corazónes  tus primos Kevin  Ashley  tus tíos Lupe y Velia
Decansa en paz   nuestro bello ángel.

By Elizabeth Hill, 

Last year when I had Juliette my brother Danny bought a new car and gave me his car for free. All I had to do was change it over to my name. 

A few years ago he gave my dad his truck. That’s the kind of giving, loving, and thoughtful person my brother was. He was a gift giver. 

He was so thoughtful and loving and always thinking of others. Always taking care of others. He loved making others smile. He loved making others laugh. He was so sweet and had the funnest personality. 

He & his wife prepared gifts for the many kids in our big family. Making baskets of toys for all the holidays. He said, “It was about the experience”. He loved how excited kids would get with their new toys.
- Love Betty 💘

By Elizabeth Hill ♥

Danny was the most thoughtful, detail-oriented person I know. 

Ever since I was little I was always in deep admiration for how naturally profound & deep his heart was. 

Most knew him as a fun, charismatic person, but Danny was a very sensitive person inside. Always caring about others, truly selfless. 

He loved to celebrate every little thing. He celebrated every holiday, every milestone no matter how big or small, every birthday, every graduation. If you invited him, he’d be there. He was always there to support you, whether it be a kindergarten graduation or high school/college graduation. 

I’m not this way, which is why I admired Danny so much. I always thought to myself, how does Danny have the energy to always be there for everyone. That’s a lot to keep track of. 

Moving forward, I will try my best to honor Danny by being a little more thoughtful towards others and try to be more detail oriented and celebrate life’s holidays and milestones more. It’s not my nature since I’m not Danny and I could never be Danny but I will try my best in his honor. I will try my best to be kinder to others and more thoughtful.
- Love Betty. 💘

Danny was a go-to guy when we needed to inspire and rally the teams.  He was instrumental in a process improvement effort to reduce filling line changeover time.  He was so proud of the accomplishments made in just one week.  On the day to present  results to Senior Management (on his day off) he showed up in a suit with a bright purple tie!  He looked pretty sharp!!!  He was honored with and humbled to receive the Sharing Expertise Gold Award (1st place across all of B. Braun USA) for his leadership of Self Directed Work Teams on the end of the week night shift.  Through his hard work, influence and guidance, this group made significant improvements to become the best performing shift in every metric.  During the award presentation, Danny made sure that people knew it wasn't just him, stating that it was a whole team effort.   He was so PROUD to wear his SDWT shirt even years after the initiative had faded.  He would come by to get replacement shirts when his were well worn.   He helped any and all however possible and had unwavering energy and commitment.  Over the years, he would stop by my desk to just chat and share his thoughts on what improvements B. Braun or his department should work on next.  His  smile, laugh and "light" would always brighten my day.   His passing is a terrible blow and a life lost way too early.  I wish there was a way to turn back time to support and help him to make a different decision.  I suspect he likely felt that he had let others down and couldn't bear it.   I'm heartbroken for me, his family, friends and colleagues.  The tributes are really beautiful to read, each of the pictures express his light and the best of him.  Let's all try to hold onto the "best of him" and feel his energy and light from within.  Death can take the physical life but can never take our relationship, experiences and memories.  May Danny's soul find peace, love, comfort and rest on this next leg of his life's journey.  
With love and much respect,
Deb

“I hope your dancing in the sky
I hope the angels know what they have 
I bet it’s so nice in heaven since you’ve arrived” 

Danny, 
     Our family is like a giant puzzle. Multiple pieces that are oddly shaped, sized, and colored. And yet when the pieces are all placed perfectly together in their spot they form a masterpiece of what the creator intended. You were an important piece to our family puzzle that we have lost forever. The imprint you left in our lives has been without a doubt nothing but happiness, joy, laughter, and memories that can be endlessly talked about. Your absence will always be there, leaving us incomplete and imperfect. 
Primo our hearts are so broken knowing you are not physically with us to continue growing and making new memories with us. I know you will be watching over us with Nina and uncle Dave, helping us guide through this thing we call life. Now when something funny happens I think it’s you playing to put a smile on our faces the way you always were. I was jealous of how you could tell a story with so much character and perfectly described details, it’s something I could never do. But I still picture you telling stories of how grandma was always feeding us more food, or random things out loved ones have done that made us all laugh. Since you have left us our laughter has dimmed and smiles have faded. But with time, I know they will return, which is how you would want us to be because it was who you were. 

Forever in hearts, smiles, and laughter Danny you will never be forgotten because you are our missing puzzle piece. Love you primo. -Satzy 

Danny, you will be missed!! You leave us with great memories and great laughs. I’m thankful we got to see each other grow up. You were a brother to all of Betty’s friends. Rest in paradise! 

Danny may you have eternal rest con tu "Nina". 

May your souls through God’s mercy, rest in peace. 

Please come to me in my dreams... take me to the ocean,  take me to the 🐬🐬dolphins,  take me on a walk with you. 

I just can't let you go my handsome sweet nephew 
💙💕❤♥💖💛💙💕❤♥💖
I'm glad you and Jackie 
 enjoyed each other and had many romantic adventures. 
Love you  ❤ 
- Aunt Lisa 

By Elizabeth Hill 

I don’t know what life is like without my brother Danny. He’s been there since the day I was born. 

We were so close in age we talked almost everyday and he was involved in my kid’s lives. 90% of toys in my house are from Danny. I see Danny everywhere in my house as my kids play with all the cool toys he bought them. 

He’d come over all the time with a big bag of toys or a basket and play with Juliette. I just  don’t know how to accept this awful new reality. I need my brother. I don’t understand why life has to be so unnecessarily ugly sometimes. 

Danny was so good with kids and I was excited about the future because he was so much fun and was all about happiness & motivation. He has everything going for him. And now my kids will never know how amazing he is. 

My kids won’t remember him. I’m deeply saddened at all memories they’ll never make with their fun, cool Uncle Danny. 

My heart is shattered in a million pieces and I just can’t… we are supposed to continue grow old together into our 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s etc… We had family trips planned… so many things to look forward to in the future. 

He was supposed to baptize my baby girl in August. He was supposed to be her Godfather. He was always helping me so much. 

He loves to organize and put things together and he was helping me arrange everything for the baptism. 
Why is life so cruel?
Love, Betty ❤

Danny, I’ll start off by saying the word ‘cousin’ isn’t enough for me to describe who you were to me. You were the best older brother any young girl could ever ask for. You always protected me and always helped me out with my goals. Whether they were educational, relationship etc. You were the greatest of all time (GOAT). You never once made things not fun! I remember when you would wake up during the middle of the day at home and just stop to see what we were up to. When you would help me with my math homework in the kitchen and taught me alternative ways to understand it. You took me to get my first ever starbucks drink. Thanks to you and Jackie my addiction for coffee began and I got a job at starbucks. You were proud of me when i got a job and when i signed up for college. You gave me advice I will never forget. You always trusted me with dog sitting your pugs! It was my favorite thing to do. Talking about celebrity drama i was into or even you teasing me about how celebrities didn’t know me. There’s so many memories I have but I would never finish. I’m so grateful to have lived in the same household with you as I grew up. Thank you Danny for teaching me all you could. 🤍 Thank you for being my older brother. 

Danny,

Thank you for your contagious laugh that will never be forgotten. Growing up at Nina’s with you was such a joy.  I will never forget the pride you put into creating your “Mini me” sculpture. I remember being in my Tio and Tia’s garage watching you try to perfect it’s features, laughing like always. 

You were the jokester. At Maggie’s Quince, I remember hearing you Eddie, and Freddy crack up during mass. I had know  idea what you guys were laughing about, but I remember looking back at your guys, laughing, thinking you all were so cool. And who can forget those 4th of July’s at Nina’s house. The trunk of your car would be loaded with stacks of fireworks. Like the fireworks you loved so much, You lit up any room. Thank you cousin, for not forgetting little Anthony during Christmas. Thank you for those Mother’s Day texts. The last day we spent together for little Juliette’s Birthday, I remember seeing the joy in your face, watching all the kids blowing their whistles that you and Jackie put in their candy bags. You looked over at me and Anthony, and said “You’re Welcome!”, laughing.  Gosh, I’m going to miss that laugh. 

Please know, we love you, and always will. We are going to miss you terribly! There is an emptiness that can never be filled. The Pulido cousins will never, ever, be the same! Although, you are physically not with us, you will always be in our hearts. I know we will see each other again. Give Nina a big hug and kiss for us! And like the song says, “ I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing in the angel's choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in Heaven since you arrived”,
Love you so much, 
Kari ❤️


I had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Danny as I became part of the Pulido Family.  He was such a joyful and caring person- always bringing laughter and happiness to everyone around him, including me.  I am so sorry and sad that Danny is no longer on this Earth, but I have no doubt he is in Heaven helping us remember to always find and appreciate the happiness and joy that exists around us.  My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Ledesma and Pulido families.

-Dave Williams

Danny, 
My beautiful sweet boy.  Give mom and Dave  a big hug and kiss for me. I bet you and Dave and  are keeping mom laughing,  like you both did in life. 

By Mariah Eynon

Dear Danny, I might’ve not had a closer relationship with you than the other cousins but I do know that you were such a great cousin, son, husband, uncle, and brother to all of us. I will never forget those thoughtful/ motivational things you’ve said to me. You told me to never let go and achieve my dreams into college and my career. You told me you’d help me with whatever in college because you are so smart 🥲. I will always remember that almost every time you wanted to go Black Friday shopping and took Kevin and I with you. I’m so glad and thankful that you came up to big bear with us this year so you could celebrate my birthday, thank you so much. I can’t believe your loss, it seems untrue to me. We will always love you no matter what Danny and will miss you. Thank you so much for all the things you’ve said and how much heart you put into everything 🥺🤍. Now go on and dance with grandma and uncle Dave

Love , Mariah

Danny Thank you for everything , every time I asked you for help you never said no .I am going to miss your glowing smile and your good mornings every time I would see you .You will be missed Danny but not forgotten ! My heart goes out to the family and loved ones left behind I am truly sorry for your loss . God Bless You Danny and Your Family !
