Primo,  may u rest in peace mijo... Ill miss you primito...


Aryanna, Lilyanna, and Danny
I’ve known your dad since elementary school and I will always remember his big smile. In 4th grade we realized we both had large families and both grew up in Buckeye. We decided we were probably related somehow and from then on considered each other cousins. Throughout elementary school, high school, and years after we greeted each other as family. I can still hear your dad saying “cousin!” or “what’s up cuz?” Your dad treated me like family by not only having my back in school, but teasing me like family does. For example, in PE during elementary school we had to make up a dance to a song of our choice. I chose “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears so naturally your dad teased me for weeks. 
I have so many fond memories of your dad, but the night he met your mom is by far my favorite. Your dad fell for your mom instantly. He followed her around the entire night and ended up in just about every photo. I remember your mom having to explain to your noni who “that boy” was in every photo on her digital camera. Your dad was referred to as “that boy” for a while and the night your mom and dad met is referred to as “that night” still to this day. Your mom was hesitant at first, but your dad was persistent. I remember him calling while being deployed overseas and I asked him if he was safe and okay. He cut me off saying “Yeah, yeah. I’m fine. So what’s up with your friend Jenna?” Now that’s how you get a girl's attention. Things sped along and they could not wait to get married and start a family.
I am extremely lucky to have witnessed their true love story. I’ve witnessed them fight for each other and fight for the three of you. The love your dad had for you is everlasting and you will be able to carry it with you throughout your life. Your dad will always be with you in your heart. There are so many people that love your dad and will be sure to share stories with you to keep his spirit alive.  
I love you all so much! 
Love,
Kourtney 


Thank you for being my very first best friend and for being the best brother I could have ever asked for. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for caring for me. Thank you for playing with me. Thank you for getting in trouble with me. Thank you for standing up for me. 
Some of my favorite memories include playing church with you, one of us would pray, the other had to fall back. Throwing all the cushions off the couch and playing floor is lava. Dad banging our heads together when he would get upset with us and telling us that if he pulled our ears anymore they would end up like donkey ears. Saving the injured bird that still ended up dying. Running around the house laughing way too early and dad chasing us with the belt and we would hide behind the couch. Waking up with you super early to feed the baby cows. Insisting we bury our animals that died and having funerals for them. Going fishing with dad only for him to yell at us for being too loud and scaring the fish away. Learning to ride bikes together. Getting ready for school just the two of us and constantly missing the bus in front of our house and having to rush out the back door to get on the bus on the street behind us. Celebrating our birthdays together on your birthday. Getting blamed for the stuff you did like the one time dad found a bunch of Mexican music cd's in the truck and I got yelled at for listening to secular music. Bringing you Peter Piper Pizza everytime you came home when you lived out of state. Laughing at each other like the one time that Dad hit me while he was yelling at us because he thought I was laughing at him but really I was laughing at you because you were making fun.  Driving together. Teasing you for being the favorite, I was just jealous and you knew very well you were the favorite and loved to rub it in.. I am so grateful for all the memories I have with you. 
I still can't believe you are gone, I am truly heartbroken, I miss you so much already. I love you Daniel.

I’ve known Daniel since we were just kids at church, he was like a lil brother to me and having him next to me as kids will always be memories I’ll forever Charish. He was the kindest loving person I’ve had the privilege to call a friend. I still remember the day he got married to the love of his life and asked me to be part of there special day I’ve never seen him so happy. Throughout the years life happened and we grew apart but he was always in my heart and God put him back in my life when I needed a friend/ Brother. He was one of the first persons to help me get sober and was always willing to pick me up to take me to a meeting, I will always love you brother and I’ll see you again thank you for being the amazing man you turned out to be. Today I’m alive, sober and have a great example of how to be a man of integrity and love thanks to God blessing me for putting you and your family in my life. I love you brother!

My condolences to all of Daniel's family.  I pray for the Lord to give everyone strength and comfort during the most difficult times when missing Daniel.  Very hard.  It wasn't too long ago that Daniel and Jenna stopped by his sister's house on a Sunday morning and there I was in the kitchen having spent the night with my grandkids and  I had just made them a big breakfast and was cleaning up.  His sister is my Daughter in law and their close relationship reminded me so much of my relationship with my nephew who was only two years younger than me.  (My nephew passed away at 49.)  But that morning Daniel was there on a mission for advice from his sister and it was so awesome to see that.  It had to do about starting his own business.  He needed his sister to tell him the process, etc.  I didn't stick around of course to hear the details.  It was just something special to see the sister and brother with their spouses discussing  Daniel's future business that Sunday morning.   The business name. Small business classes.  Awesome that Daniel did start his own business and accomplished it so rapidly!   

Love never dies and Daniel's love will live on through his memories. Now in Eternal Paradise.🤗🙏


My husband met Luna during his second deployment in which Luna was the youngest of them all. We would call him baby Luna. When they returned from that deployment we met him then he married Jenn! Since it’s a small world, we then got together again in Fort Lee, VA and we were fortunate enough to meet Jenn and the girls that I took care of for almost 2 years and they became our Army family and more. They then moved to Arizona and we kept in touch through pictures and calls with the girls. We will always be a family no matter what. Jenn, we will always be here for you and the kids. Our condolences... -The Ramirez Family

I will always remember Daniel bringing the kids up to the games, and helping to support his wife in her lover for cheer and her team.  He helped out in so many ways, from picking food up for the teams, to working concessions, and holding doors, and directing teams.  We always laughed and teased that on those competition days that he helped out, we had two Coach Luna's on campus.  He was so helpful and was always so surprised at how intense cheerleaders, coaches, and hosting competitions could be.  We will be forever grateful for all the love and support he provided our teams, our programs, and his wife.   I will never forget the love that he had for the kids and Jenna.  You could see it in his eyes, his face, with everything that he did.  He will be tremendously missed, and we are heartbroken for his family.  Our love and prayers will continue to be sent to his entire family, Jenna,  Aryanna, Lilyanna, and Danny.  We will be there to help and support them through the next chapter in life, in any way that we can.  All of our love, Shannon and Luie Contreras
