My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends, Dan. All we can hope for in this life – is to make a difference. Let it be known, you did that for so many people. Weather it was with a hug, a joke to make us laugh or smile, or just being the son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin or friend, you were to many…. you made a difference in our lives and we are forever grateful. We are grateful God wrote you into the story of our lives. We all cry in hearing that you have left this place, but we are comforted in knowing that you will always be in our hearts, our fond memories and you will always be a very blessed part of our lives.

Dan was a wonderful friend with an awesome laugh and smile. He will be missed by many. May you find comfort during this hard time.

Blessed are they that mourn; for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

I met Dan in 2002 through a friend when I lived in San Diego. Dan always had a smile and something funny to say; he could even smile with his eyes! The funniest thing is I moved to Ft Lauderdale almost a year ago, we live about 15min drive apart…yet, I saw him more when I flew back n forth from SD to SA, than I have living in the same city! HAHA I will miss you always Dan and remember all the good times hanging out. Hugs and Peace be with you! I’ve only met Dan’s sister JoMarie a few times, usually at the King William Fair during Fiesta and again this year at Calle 8 in Miami. What a good sis for visiting! My heart goes out to you and the family.

Dan was a wonderful person and will be dearly missed by his friends. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Dan was a wonderful person whom I had the pleasure of knowing all my life. He was my uncle and I was so proud of him. I love and miss him very much! Thank you to all his friends that have left such wonderful messages and memories. I know he made an impact on my life, but I didn’t realize what an impact he made on so many other lives. Thanks again for keeping my uncle’s memory alive.

As I know him, “Uncle Danny” was a wonderful person. His smile lite up the room and his beautiful personality was liked by all. He was a great man with a great heart. Uncle Danny you will be missed. However, we shall meet again. My condolences to his family.

WHAT AN AMAZING PERSON! FULL OF LIFE, ENERGETIC, HANDSOME, AND LOVING. NEVER A DULL MINUTE WITH HIM. SUCH A GREAT LOSS TO THIS WORLD. BUT HE IS NOW WATCHING OVER US, TAKING CARE OF US IN MIRACULOUS WAYS. HE WILL BE MISSED SO VERY MUCH. I LOVE YOU. SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE….. XOXO TRISH

Our deepest sympathies to Danny’s Family. He was a great, kind soul. He will be missed. Crystal, be strong, he is in a better place, smiling down with that big smile of his. Our hearts go out to you. Love E, V & J

My sadness comes and goes in waves
For our time with Dan seemed much to short
But Dan’s smile and the way his eyes would light up when he said hello
Will forever remain in our hearts
I choose not to focus on the loss
But rather on how Dan added to our lives each day.
And that is how I will remember Dan
And give thanks for especially when I pray.

Dan you have added to my life in ways that you now probably already know. You were truly a good friend to me and many others. I am forever grateful for you, your smile and your gentle heart.

To all of Dan’s Family and friends, may you find peace in the time and love that you have shared with Dan and know that one day we will be together again.

Dan it is not goodbye my friend but just so long for now until I see you again

With Love and gratitude,
Your Friend Michael

I met Dan as a shy senior at Central Catholic 27 years ago. He never lost that simple, shy aspect. He was a man of deep faith, simple needs, and had a big heart. We shared many times together both good and bad and I will truly miss him. He always enjoyed time with true friends and relished the time with his special friends.
When he moved to Florida, he lived with me and it was such a joy to have him around each day.
He will be missed by so many and it is a tragic loss to all who knew him and loved him. He remains in my thoughts and prayers and I know he is a peace, though we all believe he left us way too soon.

My sadness comes and goes in waves,
For our time with Dan seemed much too short.
But Dan’s smile and the way his eyes would light up when he said hello,
Will forever remain in our hearts.
I choose not to focus on the loss,
but rather on how Dan added to our lives each day.
And that is how I will remember Dan,
And give thanks for especially when I pray.

Dan you have added to my life in ways that you now probably already know. You were truly a good friend to me and many others. I am forever grateful for you, your smile and your gentle heart.

To all of Dan’s Family and friends, may you find peace in the time and love that you have shared with Dan and know that one day we will be together again.

Dan it is not goodbye my friend but just so long for now until I see you again

With Love and gratitude,
Your Friend Michael

Dan was one of those special people that you meet in life whose energy had the power to light up a room. He was one of those special souls that you truly looked forward to seeing and each time you did, you left him saying, “What a great guy.” Frank and I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to know him, although, like so many others, feel that it was certainly not long enough. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends who miss seeing that awesome smile each day.

Such a short life but a life full of meaning and fun. You were a really great guy to be around and I always looked forward to seeing you and sharing a laugh. I’m so sad that you’re gone and I’m so sorry I’ll never get to share a laugh again with you. I hope and pray that you are at peace now.

You will truly be missed and I will never forget you.

Dan;

This is for you. I just want you to know that my only regret is that you never knew how much your friends loved and cared about you and no matter what the problem was WE would have stood by you and supported you. I’m so sorry that you never understood that WE your friends would have never of judged you but stood by you in your time of need. I hope you know that now and I hope and pray you are at PEACE but you should know that we STILL LOVE YOU in spite of it all.

Dan was a wonderful person with great energy, a wonderful smile and a great sense of humor. I am thankful for the short time I could be part of his life and I will always remember and cherish these moments.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and family.
May you find comfort and peace in knowing that he is not gone.
He just went ahead and one day you will be together again and he will be right there waiting …smiling

I miss you!!!

I met Dan thru my roommate here in San Diego back in 2002. Me being from Texas we talked about whats happening in Texas. We had a blast in Long Beach when he came to visit and we took a road trip. Then I ran into him again a few years later in New Orleans. WOW! what a coinsidence. He always had that smile that you knew he was one of the good guys. Dan you will be greatly missed by friends and family. My heart goes out to the Longoria family for their loss.

In the short time that we were getting to know Dan, we knew this was one kind, gentle, fun-loving, real gentleman whose values ran deep.
We looked forward to our trips down to Florida as we knew we would experience the humorous Dan. Soft spoken, yet witty when needed …it was only a matter of time until it
felt as if we knew him a lifetime.
We were profoundly sad to hear of Dan’s passing…but have come to realize that we are grateful to have shared the light moments of life with him !!

My heart goes out to Dan’s family. So sorry in the delay of my condolences but I only heard of the tragic news today. I would like to speak to his family directly if anyone can provide me good contact info. I greatly appreciate it.

July 25, 2011 I just found out not too long ago that Danny passed away. My deepest condolences for all the people that he touched. I loved Danny very much and am so sorry that we lost contact over the years. I am also sorry for the loss of his sister, Jeanette. My love Jo Marie and Crystal.

Jo Marie, I was so saddened to hear of Danny’s passing. He was a wonderful person who we dearly miss. Our prayers are with you always.

With Love,

Your Family in Corpus Christi
