Danny's vibrant spirit and unwavering love touched the lives of all who knew him. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Mary Lou; children Danielle, Kimberly, Danny Jr and his wife Eileen; Crystal, whom he lovingly embraced as his own daughter, along with her husband Angel II; and granddaughter Penelope, who brought him immense joy in his final years. He is also survived by his brother, Arsenio, and his wife, Wendee.
A pillar of strength and guidance, Danny served as a father figure to many, but was especially close to his nephew, DJ. He held a special place in the hearts of his cherished nieces and nephews, including Gabriel, Angel III, Francisco, Maritza, Andrea, Jonah, Ethan, and countless others, who were deeply touched by his guidance and love.
Born in Wilcox, AZ, Danny's journey took him across California's Central Valley before settling in Riverside, CA. He embraced life's adventures with zest, whether it was boogie boarding at the beach, canal surfing, crafting his woodworking projects, playing golf with friends and family, cheering on the State Champion Ramona Football (Team Defense), or spending time with loved ones. His passion for family, friends, and his beloved VW bug and Dodge Magnum shone brightly.
After 18 years at Anheuser-Busch, where he worked as a driver, merchandiser, and draft technician, Danny retired in 2009, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and exceptional customer service. He will be remembered for his larger-than-life personality, his kind heart, and his ability to light up any room with his gift of gab.
A memorial to celebrate Danny's life will be held at Acheson & Graham Garden of Prayer Mortuary, where friends and family can gather to honor his memory and the profound impact he had on all who knew him.
The celebration of life will be held on Friday, April 26, from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. A reception will follow at 6 pm. The address information for the reception will be shared at the memorial service.
