I too knew Danal from the DUET3D 3D printing community. Danal helped me solve a very difficult engineering problem. I always read all of his posts, to anyone, as all his posts were intelligent, informational and helpful. I found Danal to be considerate, intelligent and patient person.
I am very saddened to hear of his passing, he was a good one. God Bless the family and his friends. When you think of Danal, remember the joyus moments, it will aid his soul to find peace.
I too am grieving, my beloved wife and friend of 40 years passed away from CoVid in Feb 2021.
Sadly, and with great respect, 3mm

I think of Danal every time I see our great runway signs. He really made an impact on the neighborhood in the time he lived here. Wish I had gotten to know him better!

I just recently learned of Danal's passing.
I worked with him at the College District about 40 years ago.
He's easily the most intelligent person I've ever met.
Can anyone please tell me any details of his passing?
Please Rest in Peace, my old friend.

Danal and I were the very best of friends and he was certainly my best friend. I hope he knew that even though I never told him, after all we are just in perfect men. I was relocating from his neighborhood back to Austin for a career change and we made a pact to always stay best friends. Well after six months I still wake up in the morning thinking I need to call him, nothing is worse than realizing I can’t. In the short three years I knew him we became better friends than most of my acquaintances I’ve known three decades. Certainly other people are missing his kind soul just like I am. It’s a small consolation to think that I have to wait till I am no longer on this earth to hopefully see him again.

i only knew him from the 3D community on the duet3d forum. loved him as he was a kind warm welcoming guy for someone new like me trying to get TAMV to work. definitely will be missed and have the highest respect for him.

Bye Danal!
I feel so grateful to you because it's up to you if I could adapt my Anycubic Kossel to Duet board, and build a bigger delta for our fablab. Thank you! God bless you for you efforts and your kindness!

I only new Danal through his participation in online 3D printing discussion forums. His contributions to the technical side of things was impressive and his contributions to the community side was exemplary. On behalf of his friends in the 3D printing world, his positive impact will be missed.

I worked with my Danal my first major assignment at PEP and he took the time to show my the company culture, offered guidance to navigate complex organizational structure to drive technology standards. I still remember the wonderful time we had one Friday afternoon with Danal and Dan on Lake Lewisville and as recently as few months ago to discuss his love for flying. You welcomed me to PEP and have always been there when I needed your council. You are missed.

I've worked with Danal in the past at PepsiCo, and really enjoyed his wit and intelligence. He was always such a great thinker who worked to make sure voices were heard and the best solution selected. Friendly, smiling, always with a bit of joy. The man had my respect and admiration. My condolences to the family as they celebrate the life Danal lived.

My husband Keith and I were blessed to have known and worked with Danal.
My first interaction with Danal was when I was working with PepsiCo in Chicago. He was teaching a Diversity and Inclusion training class for people leaders. He was so passionate about the topic, it inspired me to become a trainer. Over the years, we worked together on technology projects, and I came to regard him as a mentor.
When my husband Keith moved from Chicago to Plano, Danal made him feel welcome, introduced him to people, and engaged him in an archery club that met at Frito-Lay.
Danal will be missed. Our sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family's loss. I wish you strength and peace during this hard time.
I remember Danal from 15 years ago when I attended a Diversity and Inclusion class he taught. His intellect, his professionalism, his humility, and most importantly his clarity of thinking cast a big impression on my mind. Over the years I interacted with him for several of my projects and every interaction I learned something and came back wishing I could be somebody like him. I will miss Danal and cherish the honor of knowing him.

I was young, green and wide-eyed. Fresh from graduating college and embarking on a new career…
There are many people in the PepsiCo family, that I call colleagues. A smaller circle that I call friends and among that small group that, there a few, a very select few that have had a significant effect on my career and more importantly on my disposition, my approach and my interaction.
Danal Estes is one of the most intelligent and well versed human beings that I have ever had the honor of knowing. I frequently reflect on the many conversational journeys he would take me on. Mythological weaving through and around complex subject matters, laying out context, historical significance, and interesting tidbits. The end state, would be a wonderfully clear and colorful tapestry, explaining what otherwise would be bland, boring, and confusing. If you have ever been subject to one of my long winded explanations, that my feeble attempt to replicate what Danal was able to do eloquently and with little effort
He had a special gift of calming the waters and instilling confidence and understanding to the listener, even if things were still, clear as mud!
This however was only a small piece of Danal's repertoire. An avid enthusiast of RC planes, piloting small prop aircraft, books, and movies...
I vividly remember our last catchup conversation, It was about all the sci-fi books and movies we had watched over the past year or so. What we liked, what we didn't, what we realized were curious imitations of life.
There was the DC vs Marvel movies. The Expanse series, Old Man's War and even war movies like MIDWAY, which took us down a long crazy tangent on dive bombers, aircraft, ballistics and sniper training. Yeah, we talked about all of that at my desk, on a whim.
Memorable he is. I hope when I leave this earth I have a lasting impression on someone that is as positive as his was on me.

My deepest condolences to the Estes family! We are so sorry for your loss! I did not work closely with Danal, but I always appreciate Danal as a person, a colleague, and a great leader - his personality, his humility, his knowledge & his professionalism, etc. He’s kind and light-hearted. I can see his big impact to many in PepsiCo and I know he will be deeply missed.

Danal had been my manager at PepsiCo for several years. He is such a wonderful boss, mentor and leader! Supportive, encouraging and insightful, he had definitely made a positive impact on so many people's life! We will all miss him, our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

This is so unbelievably sad. Danal was a brilliant inspirational creative humanitarian genius with the heart of a teacher who will forever be missed but never forgotten! What an HONOR to have known him on any level, small or large. His joy for life and enthusiasm for learning and sharing knowledge was infectious and effective. My first encounter with Danal was many years ago when he taught a UNIX class at Frito-Lay that I attended. I knew then that I was in the presence of GREATNESS!! Another small example was his Halloween costume a few years ago (IT Devil?) that included high-tech robotics and a voice synthesizer which was impressively mind-blowing, OMG!! RIP, Danal. Many prayers and hugs to his family and friends and co-workers.

I worked with Danal occasionally, but was always impressed with his ability to communicate to people and bring them along in the conversation. He always treated others with dignity and respect even when he was intellectually ahead of most if not all in the room. Few people with his intellect have that quality. I will miss Danal. The personal quality he exhibited gives me something to strive for as I move forward in my career.

I knew Danal in passing from years at PepsiCo as his name was the one most referenced as the voice of knowledge on all topics. Although I never worked with him directly, anyone could tell what a gentle and kindhearted person he was, it exuded from his presence. The only direct interaction I ever had with him was very memorable and non-verbal when one Halloween I ran a very brilliant costumed winged creature in the halls who would not speak up and identify himself. I'd heard rumors throughout the day to be on the lookout for Danal with no hints of what he wore. I just knew this was him and without speaking he graciously posed for a couple of pics.
Rest in peace, Danal. Heaven has gained a wonderful angel.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Danal over the years and considered him one of the brightest individuals I’ve had the pleasure of working with at PepsiCo. The Frito team truly appreciated his tremendous leadership, coaching and technical guidance over the years on both critical operational challenges and our most important strategic initiatives. I truly appreciated his special gift in educating others and his unique ability to break down complex technical issues, simplify decisions and bring others along in a way like no other. Danal will be missed as a colleague and more importantly as a friend that always provided excellent advice. Danal and family will be in our thoughts and prayers!

Even though I did not work closely with Danal over the years at PepsiCo when I did I was amazed at how kind, caring, thoughtful, intelligent, and knowledgeable he was.
He always took time to out of his busy schedule to help and would patiently explain things no matter how trivial or complex. He made sure we understood both how and, more importantly, why things were being done the way they were.
He was great to work with, fun to talk to, and a joy to be around. He had a calm and easy going manner no matter how stressful and hectic things became. He always had an interesting or funny story to tell too.
I will miss Danal greatly... I hope they have planes and Teslas in Heaven.

My sincerest condolences to the Estes family. Danal was an amazing person to work with. His technical knowledge and ability to break down and explain complex problems in simple terms was truly a gift for everyone he worked with at PepsiCo. Danal is an inspiration to everyone who had the opportunity to work with him. Please know that you are in our prayers.

The Estes Family,
Mr. Danal, a great mentor, and most of all he inspired the creative spirit in all of us. His creations allowed us to dream and there were no limits to anything. He inspired my daughters to dream and gave them a passion for aviation that will remain within them forever. Although gone to soon, he has left a world of knowledge for us to continue creating and dreaming. We have so many memories of him flying his RC aircraft and riding his bike around the neighborhood. He even volunteered to help me convert my three-wheel bike to an automatic so that I could go up the small hills. My fondest memory was this past Halloween and his amazing costume. He delighted us all and kept the teens and kiddos fascinated with his technological skills, and how he used simple tools from everyday items to have the coolest costume. You’re with the Angels watching over us and every time one of our planes takes flight we know you are there. To the family, our prayers are with you and our deepest condolences.
God Bless!
Your loving Neighbors,
The Johnsons

There are so many wonderful memories of my grandpa Danal. The most recent was our visit last year which I can say was the 2 best days of my life. He was so clear on his purpose in life and he was glowing with happiness. He loved many things but his most cherished love was Debbie. I’m sad beyond words that he’s gone but can’t help to be grateful that he lived his dream life. My condolences go out to Debbie and all of us who loved him. His memory will live on through the many people who’s lives he touched. I love you forever grandpa Danal!!

My condolences to the Estes family. Danal's passing is a loss for many. He was gifted with amazing intelligence and deep knowledge of a wide variety of areas, and was always happy to share his knowledge and his passions.

I am praying for the comfort for all those people who knew and loved Danal. Danal leaves an incredible legacy with our PepsiCo family. He represents our company's values - integrity, performance with a purpose, and creative problem solving - and was a role model for all of us to follow. I have many memories of our time working together. A favorite memory was our week-long "Train the Trainer" session where we learned how to facilitate Inclusion Training for our fellow PepsiCo employees. I loved being a co-trainer with Danal (and even remember that it was on April 12th - 13th, 2005!!) and appreciated his calm demeanor, flexibility, and sense of humor. I feel so very fortunate to have worked with Danal for so many years.

My condolences to the Estes family and friends. I worked with Danal for many years, shared a technology lab with him, and was honored to be on a technical architecture project led by him. I leaned so much at the feet of the master. He was brilliant, shared a great human and technical perspective, and had a great sense of humor. One of my fond memories is when we were building the first LAN at Frito-Lay, and he had us stand in a circle and toss a trumpeting stuffed elephant with a note attached to it to demonstrate how Token-Ring functioned on a network. I have attached a photo of Danal smiling at a 2003 event.

I always enjoyed spending time with Danal. I felt like I learned something new every time I saw him. He was passionate about his work at PepsiCo and had a wealth of technical knowledge that he shared easily.
Most memorable for me will be discussing his hobbies and interests outside of work. I always admired his depth of knowledge on a broad range of topics from Aviation, Technology, and we talked a lot about Tesla. He knew all about the electrical, mechanical, and software aspects. He took time out of his busy schedule to take me for a ride in his Tesla explaining a lot of the technical features. It was fascinating and helped me understand a lot more about the future of where that technology is heading. You will be missed Danal.
My heart goes out to the Estes family. Thinking of you and praying for comfort during this difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences to the Estes family. I only worked with Danal briefly but will never forget meeting him when I first joined IT. He invited me to sit with him for an impromptu lunch. Over the course of an hour his story touched me on a personal level and he explained Frito-Lay IT to me in a way that I could understand. Rest in Peace.

I worked closely with Danal for 13 years and in all that time I haven’t one bad memory of this good and decent man. His brilliance astonished. His gentle, yet confident manner admired. His kindness and generosity humbled. His Empathy and wisdom comforted and guided. His most precious gift to the world; himself and his time. My world was a better place for having been a part of Danal’s.
My warmest condolences to the family for your loss.
Rest In Peace. Every memory of you will live on in me with a smile and a grateful heart each time they pass by.
Your assistant and friend,

Danal had a great impact on my life over these last few years, from hiring me in as an EA, to coaching me through my own professional growth, to just sitting down to talk about life, and hobbies and the world over lunch or a round at the archery range. His vision, and perspective on the world were always illuminating for me, and he always helped me see possibilities and aspects of things I hand't considered.
I was hugely fortunate to have known him, and to have been enriched by his friendship and the world is less for his passing.

I knew and worked with Danal for many years during our partnership at PepsiCo. Danal was the "Let's go ask him and get his opinion" guy for complex problems and issues. We spent many a day working together with both critical situations and systems architecture. My fondest time spent with him was not on the front line, it was in a conference room for 4 days going through Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Training. As brilliant as Danal was with technology he was equally as brilliant understanding human nature and understanding the complex dynamics of communications. I learned so much from him that week that I will never forget. The good Lord has plans for all His children. It is my belief that He will give us all fond memories of Danal to touch our hearts and spirits - to spur us to bigger and better accomplishments as well as remembering him as a quality individual whose passion for life was abundant! See you on the other side my friend!

I clearly remember when Danal started working at Frito Lay / PepsiCo. I think it was after the first meeting I attended with him that I left and thought “Wow, who was that!” He could explain even the most complex problem in simple terms. I was incredibly impressed. And it wasn’t but days after that when I determined he was just as nice as he was brilliant. And so interesting to talk with as he had knowledge on every subject.
He was loved by many. He will be missed by many.
All his loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.
Fly high, Danal.

Danal was one of the most brilliant people I've known, a legitimate candidate for "Most Interesting Man in the World." But he was also kind and always willing to take the time to chat or to explain things. Most of all, Danal was trustworthy. He didn't have agendas or ulterior motives, but just wanted to do things the right way. An endorsement of "Danal recommends this approach" was worth its weight in gold with skeptical customers or approvers! I'm sorry to see him go and will keep him and his family in my prayers.

Danal was one of those rare brilliant people who was never condescending or prideful. As many have mentioned, he was a phenomenal mentor to me for 25+ years. He loved technology, innovation and had an on-going curiosity that crossed so many subject areas. He was truly loved by many people. To his family, thank you for sharing this beautiful soul with us. May your memories of better days comfort you through this unimaginable loss. Into the blue yonder, my friend.

Danal could share the most interesting conversation on any topic in the universe. It was always a treat to hear him break down any complex subject into easy to digest pieces for all audiences. A great technician. Incredibly personable. Seems he could do anything. At Pepsi, we all knew him by either reputation or the impact he had on our work. I doubt he was unknown by anyone.
To his family & friends: I pray for God's peace to replace your pain. Share stories of him with each other - lots of them. Laugh together at what he found funny, or intriguing or silly. Spend most of your thoughts with the joyful memories.
Miguel Olivares

Everything that I heard about Danal, always it was positive. There is not any colleague that could not be sharing a great experience working or interacting with him.
To me, he always was a reference to follow and to learn how to be a person with ethics, professionalism, and passion to learn more about Technology.
From the bottom of my heart, I share all my prayers with his family..
It was a pleasure and honor to meet Danal.
Best regard from Mexico City

Danal was very special to me. I met him shortly after I joined PepsiCo 19 years ago. We worked together on the first set of PepsiCo's global Information Security policies/standards. Information Security was new to the world and he was perfect for the assignment. I always considered him the PepsiCo resident genius. I don't think there was ever a technology topic that he didn't know a layer or two deeper than most of us. We would see each other periodically over the years and reminisce about those early days and the work we accomplished together. He also invited me and my kids to the Grapevine remote control airplane field to watch him fly his plane on the weekends. My kids and I will always have those memories. I will miss Danal and know he is in a better place. God bless you, Danal.

Danal was a great friend, colleague and mentor to me at PepsiCo. He was a great influence on all of us. It's important for the whole family to know how much his time and energy was valued and appreciated. I didn't often have a chance to chat with him, but I took the opportunity to chat with him when he seemed available and over the years it was clear that we had many things in common; our passion around technology was definitely a theme! I always enjoyed getting a chance to learn from and with him, and I carry much of what I've learned from him with me everyday.

Danal will truly be missed. He was a great mentor -- that perfect balance of a person who had a wealth of knowledge but also knew how to get to the heart of matters and consider how people were feeling.

Danal was one of my first managers at PepsiCo when I started and had been a valuable mentors. He was also a good friend. Anytime I reached out to him for advice he was there. His encouragement and support have been so valuable to me personally & professionally. He was affable, friendly and compassionate. A brilliant mind. I will miss him dearly.
