I can’t believe it’s been 2 months today since you went home to Heaven.  I
Miss hearing your voice and laugh very much. In my heart,  losing  you was just like losing my best friend, Jessica, which you were always there for me during that very hard time and I thank you for that.
You were such a wonderful person inside and out. I will forever cherish the memories I shared with you and especially our awesome and sometimes hilarious conversations we’d have over the phone. You were Always checking  on me to see if I was okay since you knew I worked on the frontlines,, making sure I was healthy and that my mind was still sane from all the chaos of work and school. You always cheered  me On and lifted my spirits when I was completely down on myself, as I did for you as bell when  you needed a boost! 
Thank you for being a wonderful friend and caring & loving  me the way you did. You will be missed by so many people, especially me ! 
May God continue to bless your beautiful mom, siblings, and all your nephew and nieces you adored so much. 
Till I see you again,  continue to
Rest In Peace, sweets! 

Daniel had a smile that was unforgettable! I remember stories he shared about his love for his family, the beach and his future career goals! 
We began playing tennis ( which he loved) and he was so set on playing better he would download tennis lessons for us to watch before we played! That became our Sunday ritual for awhile! I remember making breakfast tacos together and him asking where my (comal) was.. I was like mmm I just microwave them or have a skillet?! That’s the day I learned what a Comal was! People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime… I will have our good memories for a lifetime. My heart goes out to all of his family! I now know Daniel is at peace and for that I take comfort. One day I’ll see that smile again… you were loved ❤️

Daniel, you will be missed, but we will always have the memories we shared in Virginia!  May you rest in peace now and find the happiness you were in search of.  Love always, Rebecca & Jose

Daniel, 

If we talked for 10 seconds, 10 minutes or an hour we always found laughter and something in common to talk about. We saw eye to eye from the beginning. You continuously treated me like a partner and a friend. True respect. I’ll will miss our Saltgrass lunches and I am super bummed we can’t schedule another one. I hope you are in a peaceful place Daniel.

My thoughts are with the Mendoza family and I am so sorry for your loss. Daniel was such a great guy.

He was a good man, and I'm so sorry to see his time cut short like this.   I couldn't make it to his services, but I lit a candle for his memory today, and I'm asking for peace and joyful memories to his family in this incredibly difficult time.   Farewell Daniel.  I'll root for the Cowboys in your stead.

I remember interviewing Daniel for his leadership role at Navitus. He was so polished and professional. I knew he was exactly what the team needed and he met all of my expectations for making the team feel like a family. He took such good care of the Supervisors he managed, supporting them personally and professionally. He was always so considerate, asking a personal question to really connect with others as humans. Daniel loved to love. Whether it was people, animals, food, the beach, or whatever, he was all in with his heart. We will miss him dearly but will never forget. We are all better for having known him. 

Danny - I cannot even believe you are gone. :( 

You lit up a room and were always so nice to everyone you came in contact with. When you came to visit Billy and I in OBX a few summer's ago - crazy it was Labor Day weekend - we had such a good time hanging out with you. You shared personal stories with us and said you wanted to live near the beach again. You loved the ocean and the serenity.  This makes the memorial video so special and perfect, but oh so sad. 

To Danny's family, please accept our deepest condolences. 

I worked with Daniel from our Appleton, WI office. It was obvious from the first time we talked that he was a “champion of the people” and took great pride in leading his staff to success. Daniel had the gift to lift people up from whatever situation they were in…and that includes having the difficult conversations. He was a shining example of professional with a side of silly. I will miss Daniel and all that he represented. My heart and thoughts are with his family. I am so sorry.  ~ Gay Lemmers

I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel at Navitus and although I didn't work with him directly, I admired how he worked with passion, integrity and energy. By his passing all the people who knew him will miss a highly intelligent, vibrant individual with a rare friendliness and charm of personality. Daniel was a genuinely warm and wonderful individual—one we will miss greatly at Navitus. Our sorrow is lessened only slightly with the comforting thought that we had the privilege to know him.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with Daniel's family and friends during this difficult time.

Daniel was a kind and genuine person.

He was one of the people at work who really looked out for me and helped boost my confidence in what I was doing. While in office, he always found time to chat and made sure we were all doing ok at work and outside of work in our daily lives. 
He will be dearly missed. 

I am so saddened about Daniel's passing.  We worked together and also kept in touch outside of work occasionally just to catch up.  Daniel was always interested in hearing how I was doing and always shared words of advice and wisdom. 

No matter our mood, if we were working or chatting during off-work time, we always talked longer than expected and our conversations were filled with laughter.  He was sincere in his love and care for people in his life.

He had the best smile and  laugh and  just an all-around great guy and  friend.   I wish I could have spent more time talking with him and absolutely grateful for the times we shared together.  He called me "buddy" and I will treasure the memory of Daniel forever.

Daniel got hired a month after I came onboard at Navitus (April 2018), and I remembered how the whole team, which was still relatively small at that time, had welcomed him with a catered breakfast taco buffet. I thought it was a cool ice breaker to having the team introduce us to him, and vice-versa, by sharing what we all enjoy.
He had a warm and friendly smile, and even though I did not work directly with Daniel, he would always make sure to say 'hi' or 'hello' in passing. 
But the thing I always remembered from our conversation was when he asked me where I live and I told him in the Riverside area. It's funny how he associated Riverside with Club Carnaval. 
The last time I saw Daniel was some time early this year at the office. We chatted for a bit, and that was the last time I saw him.



I met Daniel at my interview several years ago, 2018 if I remember right and worked with him for several years. He was a good leader and was always willing to listen and had great advice. My wife and I had spoken with him several times at after work functions and  he was always upbeat.

One story that keeps replaying in my head since I got the news is in the beginning Daniel had trouble remembering my name, he would get it really wrong sometimes but usually close, as I used the vending machines a lot he stated giving a quarter every time he got it wrong. It was a small thing but it was between us and funny.  When I recently got permanently WFH I had to go clean up my desk and found the holder I put the quarters or equal to a quarter change into, I never spent that money, it was always a reminder of the funny times in the start. 

Its weird the small things you remember and that stand out. Condolences to the family and Daniel will be sorely missed. 

My sweet Danny, my keeper. I still can’t believe you’re gone, this feels so surreal. You were loved by so many and will be missed dearly. My heart aches knowing I will never see your infectious smile or hear your voice again. You were kind and thoughtful with a warm loving heart. I will miss our long conversations, reminiscing on the good ol’ days. Although you’re gone in this physical life you will live in my heart forever, love you always. 
You’re the master. 

Daniel meant so much to me. He was not only my mentor he was my friend. Daniel hired me as an employee years ago. He saw something special in me and pushed me to keep reaching for more. He always gave me the best advice and I could turn to him for anything. He was always there  too listen and was my favorite person to talk business with. One of the last things Daniel told me was this.. I am so grateful to have met you and have someone like you in my life and I will cherish that forever. He will be missed dearly by me and my husband who was lucky enough to get to know him as well. My condolences go out to his family. 

Daniel hired me. It was one of the most out of box interviews and he remembered the answers I gave, that says a lot about the kind of person he was. Unfortunately, I only worked in the office with him for a few months and I didn't get the opportunity to get to know him as well as others, but during that time, he always had a smile and a word for you. He will be missed. 

Prayer For My Brother 
You were the Big Brother I never had .

Bring him great peace and joy. Thank you for my brother, dear Lord. Thank you for his life and love. All in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen .
Love You Daniel You were always a Big Brother to me and I am gonna Miss you and the Big Brother Advice ….

I met Danny many years ago when we worked together. He always had a positive word and smile on his face. He would do whatever necessary to get the job done. He was always thinking of smarter ways to do something. He loved life and his family. We would have spirited talks about football, he loved the Cowboys and I loved the Steelers, the debate was always who was better. He had a bright future ahead of him. I am still in shock of his passing and he will be missed. May he Rest In Peace and may God comfort his family.

Daniel was a loving, caring coworker and friend. I’ll never forget the energy, laughs, and analytical mind that he brought to our meetings and happy hours. He came up with nick names  for many of us (mine was simply “Ms Nett” or “Ok Boss”) and he asked sincere questions to learn about our lives, which was a constant reminder to not take our beautiful families and friends for granted. We even got him to cheer for the Packers with us when they weren’t playing the Cowboys! He will be missed dearly and my condolences go out to all of his loved ones. Thanks for the memories, Mendoza❤️

I met Daniel in 2006 when we worked together in San Benito, TX. I was so impressed with Daniels work ethic and his loving personality I had to bring him to VA to work at our corporate office. We shared a lot of laughs and truly enjoyed each other (except when Cowboys played the Redskins)!! He will be missed and I feel an emptiness in my heart losing such a wonderful friend.

Rosemary and family, 

There are no words for the pain in my heart hearing of sweet Daniel’s passing. At his young age (16 years ago) when he employed me, I was super impressed with his mannerisms and knowledge of the business. He was one of the best managers I ever worked under in my 55 years of employment. I grieved the day he left the company but not nearly as I grieve today.

Heaven is a sweeter place today because of Daniel.  Please know that you and your family will remain in my prayers.🙏🏻♥️
