Daniel, it makes me so sad to hear of your passing! You treated me and loved me like a daughter. You were a dad to me when I didn't really have one around. I remember looking forward to the sleepovers with Missy and knowing you'd make us breakfast the next morning. You always cooked us the best food! You would always give in to whatever we asked for, lol... you loved spoiling us. You gave the best hugs. You always had something funny to say or a smart little comment to make us laugh. Life may have had us lose touch; and I know that getting together was few and far between--but I have always carried the love you poured out on me with me. I know you are so happy to be with Missy again... and so that brings me joy. You had a beautiful heart, and I will love and miss you always. 
Love, Maria

My condolences to the Santana family .  Danny was such a sweet man . Always joking around . About 10 years ago he gave me a rubber bracelet that he had made . It was a black and had my uncles name on it John J Matarazzi Jr who was killed in Vietnam . They were friends and he wanted to honor him . I was so touched by that and still have it . I saw him not too long ago and we talked.  His face lit up every time he talked about his grandkids. I am heartbroken for his family but happy for him that he gets to hug his daughter again .  I will miss him 🙏

Rene Santana & Family

Tenderly may time heal your sorrow. 
Gently may friends ease your pain. 
Softly may Peace replace heartache. 
 And may warm memories remain. 

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Daniel, I just want to express how much I’m going to miss you, especially our long talk sessions, our drives to the United Steel Workers Union Headquarters in Steelton, listening to DOO WOP  and soul music. Thank you for introducing me to that wonderful music. Also thank you for getting me hooked on the PHILADELPHIA  EAGLES, the  76ers, PHILLIES, and Big 5 basketball.  I’ll always remember how great of an athlete you were in all the sports you participated in.
You are and always will be cherished and never forgotten, our love for you is enduring and rock solid. Rest In Peace my brother. Give your sweet daughter, Missy, a great big hug, as well as Mom and Dad and the rest of our precious family. I love you and someday we will all be together again.  Always and forever with love, your brother Rene


Rest In Peace Uncle Daniel. I always will cherish our conversations about the Sixers and remember you always stopping in to see me while I was working at the AT&T store at the mall. You always had a funny joke or comment to make me laugh and put a smile on my face or anyone you interacted with. You will always be that larger than life personality and forever loved by us. See you on the other side and I will be sure to bring all the six packs I owe ya from our Sixers bets! Love ya, Rene’, Michele, and Declan. 

Rest in Peace Daniel,I will forever remember the laughs and good times in family,sitting on porch conversing and talking smack. The funny insults we spew at each other and the generosity in letting me use your jeep for driving test, wich I passed. I owe you my license. Sadly you will be missed,but fondly remembered. Sending hugs n kisses to Your parents, Melissa and Eneida.😪😘.

You will be missed for sure by many. Especially those phone calls and your elaborate singing lol I don't know what we going to do on birthdays... you always made special birthday songs for people so keep them coming. We need the memories to stay intact. We love you Daniel. I'll have a don't in your honor promise. Rest in peace. Jose and Stephie 

Daniel, you were a kind and caring person with a heart of gold, a jokester at times. How we would love to hear some of them now. Lol
We will forever keep the great memories in our heart.
Memories like Friday nights at Mom and Dad’s watching DALLAS AND FALCON CREST and having donuts and coffee. Your favorite donut was Bavarian cream. Lol
And your gorgeous 1970 Barracuda, plum crazy with a black vinyl top. Absolutely GORGOUS!

We know all of our loved ones in HEAVEN were waiting at the gates with open arms to welcome you and all our puppies crossing the rainbow bridge to you. 
Now you are with your beautiful daughter  again, we know you missed her so much. 
So many fun memories. 
We will miss you, brother and we will keep you forever in our heart. Rest in piece. Love you!
Rene and Wilma (Willa) 🤗
Gives hugs to all our loved ones.
