Brother I just want you to know that you are missed everyday.  It’s literally not the same without you there’s always someone missing. 
I love you and miss you dearly

Every day something happens when we wanna tell you something ……

Dad and I replacing your brakes Apa, but I think he’s showing me so that way he doesn’t have to do it anymore🤔

Sitting here watching queen and slim,  one of the last movies we saw together. You and i were laughing and talking through the whole movie ,the people beside us asked as if we could quiet down almost 10 times and all you and I did was laugh. So many things still remind me of you. Your always in my heart my viejo.

Daniel, 

You were honestly one of the best cousins I could have ever asked for, when my Tia called me crying telling me that you had passed I was in complete shock. I didn’t want to believe it I still don’t, I saw you not long ago and of course you just joked with me like always calling me short even though you were just as tall as me. I’m going to miss those little bear hugs you’d give me & the kisses on my forehead and you telling me “be good Mija.” 
You were an absolute amazing man Elijah & Gordo have grown up to be amazing young men and it’s all because of you, they are both so loving and kind and will be there for anyone!  Laila is such a little fireball & loves to crack jokes and make people laugh just like you but most importantly she’s just a lovable as you! Hands down anyone can say how much of amazing father you were! You are going to be unbelievably missed, words can’t even explain how much everyone will miss you & how you touched so many lives. Rest Easy Daniel until we are all together again as one big family! 
I love you cousin! ❤️

"When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies in the paths of men" - HW Longfellow

Daniel, when I heard of your passing, this was the quote I instantly thought of. You've shown your children what it takes to be a great son, father, brother and friend. They will forever have your light to guide them. We have been blessed to have had you as part of our family. Stories of your pranks and kindness will always bring laughter and sweet smiles every time we think of you. Until we meet again.... 


My dear brother Daniel,

As I read through the memories here one thing I notice is the common thread, you made others feel seen, and valued.  That’s a true gift in a world where most are focused on themselves.  You came into my life as I was an awkward tween and you made me feel seen and accepted.  You joked with me, played basketball with me, and as I grew older you stayed by my side. Making jokes during my difficult times causing me to laugh, reminding me it will always be ok, and assuring me you’d always be there...and you were.  My best memories are of you and my kids, just simple things that brought them so much joy, like taking Olivia to circle K to buy too much candy and Matthias lighting up the first time he met you.  

Daniel you were as real as they come, honest, loyal, and kind.  You have left a great legacy and you will always be remembered for the amazing man you were.  I love you brother, may you Rest In Peace. 

Mi Amor,
I was not only blessed to have you in my life but lucky to have shared so many memorable moments with you. I want to thank you for loving me the way you did, for always bringing me back up when I was down,  and for making me happy. No matter the occasion whether it was a family gathering, a Laughlin trip or just us, I will forever cherish those moments with you. You were an exceptional family man and that is what I loved about you the most. My heart and soul go out to your loving family especially your boys, tu princesa y baby Enzo. May you rest in peace my love. 
                                               Always and Forever Yours

I first met Daniel when my parents forced me & my brother ( Jonathan) to go to a small school Neither of us wanted. But it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We got to meet Lots of good people we connected with, but of All the people we met, Daniel definitely stood out from the rest. Every morning I looked forward to going to his house so that we could all ride to school bumping our Wu-Tang or Master P or whatever was  cool at the time ... He Always had such an infectious spirit that I don’t think Anyone could deny. Either you loved his jokes, which me being of the Same spirit I did, or they got under your skin. But it was always done with the intention of trying to make everyone else have a better day. ( Or just for a laugh...😂)Daniel was one of my best Bros growing up and I am devastated to have not gotten to reconnect in person. Although we got to talk a couple times over the phone, I feel an in person hug from Daniel would have been  better. Much love and respect brother until I see you again... RIP Daniel ❤️  🥃Salute!

Miss u dad and all the great memories we had which that can include you making me smile when I was sad and when that time at sky zone you made do a front flip even though I was scared and which scaring me with cockroaches which was so mean but funny at the same time but all I just want to say is I love u so much❤️.

I met you at ALSW, we both started there on the same day as stockers. We started hanging out after work and got to know each other’s family, from then on I saw how much of a family man you were always with the boys and your brother and sisters. I thought that once I left ALSW 6 years later that we lose contact and that would be the end of our friendship but nope 20+ years later we would still hang out here and there, you gave me advice on many things and taught me how to fix my truck when it would break down. I once asked you “ Do you mind that we don’t hang out like regular friends ?” And you said “No I know that you have your life with your family and I have mine, we’ll just pick up where we left off.” I am thankful for the memories and times that we got to hang out, you were a good friend and a great example of what a father should be to his kids, I don’t worry about your kids because you taught them how to survive, but I’ll check in on them from time to time...REST IN PEACE...DANIEL, you will not be forgotten.

Daniel Thank you for being a great friend and role model for Taivion. Taking him on his trips with you and your family. I will miss all our late night hangouts, our fitst time hanging out and you went down that mountain i was scared and you told me not to be scared.. my late night drinking partner is gone but i will cherish our memories forever. Our last time going out was in November 2019,  you always told me how beautiful I was.. Im so hurt that you are gone but you are resting now.. fly high Daniel and watch over your family..Love u and will miss u so much.


Daniel thank you for taking Dineh on advantages.  You never treated her like an outsider she was part of your family.  Thank you for being there for my son Craig.  You taught him things a mother can never do.  You never judge him, Thank you!!! 
I know the gates of heaven open wide for you!!!  Now that you are an angel watch over your family just like you did here on earth.❤️  
To your kids, mom, dad, sisters, brother, nieces,and nephews I am so sorry for your loss ❤️ RIP Daniel  You will be extremely missed!!! ❤️

I will never forget how you would bring me ice in a cup and lottery tickets when you would come home from work, telling me if I win where splitting it. I won’t forget how you would comfort me when you would see my face was down, and made me laugh making funny noises, telling me I’ll be okay and kissed me on my head. How you welcomed me into your home, and called me your daughter. And when I would make dinner you told me the food that I know was bad was good, to not hurt my feelings lol. When I would dress up you told me I was pretty every time, I will miss you so much Daniel, your voice, your cleaning, you making bacon for me, watching Enzo so I can sleep, your the best father/ Apa / tio that I ever known, and I won’t ever forget that- I love you..

This is really hard to take in, you are one of the good guys and that's the way I'll always remember you. From the time when we were younger and you would teach me to wrestle, at Peter piper pizza when you would hook me and all the primos up with pizza and tokens so we could play. Even after my sentence you would tell me how proud you were of me for getting out and keeping my head straight. I can go about all the dope things you did forever. But I promise to celebrate your life with all the good memories, times, advice and love you showed, you'll forever be the big primo

Hi Daniel I  hope you’re doing good up there I love you with all my heart I hope your in a better place now we had some good memories together throughout the years I miss you so much I wish you where still here I Love you so much.❤️

i’m going to miss you so much tio you were always like a second dad to me... my favorite memory with you is when you took us all to universal studios i’ll never forget that i’ll never forget the camping trips , rocky point , nothing... you one time took me and dineh to jack n the box and then we were going back to nanas and you took us off roaring then your jeep broke down lol , i’m going to miss all the fun times! you were such a good man you were the best tio i could ask for , you were such a good father , son , tio and friend.. i love you and i’ll never forget about you. may you rest in peace.

There is not enough space on here to describe how great of a man you were. You were the first to offer a helping hand when ever I needed it. l did not know a thing bout cars and I still don’t but because of you I can change my oil and now I know that the battery won’t electrocute me! I remember when you dared me to do a back flip at sky zone. All the trips up North and to Rocky Point. You took me on my favorite “camping trip”. You told us our tent was only two stories and with 3 rooms and one x box. When you were around there was no need for google cause it was just ask Daniel. You taught me how to be a man and you gave me hope that there was good people in this world. Because of you I strive to be better. Rest easy Bro -Craig

I remember all the times you would pick me up to go to the mall, sky zone, Peter piper, movies. I’m glad I have a lot of memories of you. You always picked up all the nieces and nephews. 
You were the best uncle ever, I’m gonna miss you  a lot ❤️❤️ Love you Uncle Daniel.

I'm gonna miss you Daniel❤️ You always thought of me and brought me my Dr. Peppers and fries. You always kept us safe.

Love you Tio Daniel❤️❤️

Recuerdo. Cuando comenzamos  a  trabajar  en esa compañía  como lo recuerdo  Ricardo Velázquez  y Daniel. Me hecharon . Al   Bote de la basura  como se reían. Porque.  Ahí. Me dejaron. Y yo no me podía. Salir como lo recuerdo  siempre me llamaba  prima tan trabieso y con una sonrisa  siempre  dispuesto. A yudar. A quien. Lo nesecitara. Fueron muchos  años  de trabajar. Juntos  siempre estará. En nuestros. Corazones te vamos a extrañar. Primo      Descanse. En Paz .

Daniel was such a good uncle. He would always take his nephews and nieces to places to spend time with him. I remember a time when I was young he would always drive by the military cars and take pictures of them with me.

I love you and I’ll see you soon uncle ❤️❤️

Daniel is one of the best uncles I could have ever asked for. He was one the first people I told about my transition and showed me unconditional love and acceptance . I would never forget you uncle and thanks for being such an amazing person , I love you so much. ❤️

Daniel was one of the most kind hearted people I've ever known. Never hesitated to lend a helping hand but would also give you a kick in the butt if you needed it. Always straight forward. Gonna miss our talks about our motorcycles and the crazy things we would do on them. He was a proud family man who loved talking about his kids. I miss you brotha, till we meet again.

Una noche estábamos cenando mi esposo y yo en el restaurante Comedor Guadalajara y él estaba ahí con sus hijos se acercó a mí me dio un beso en la mejilla y me dijo cómo estás mija me sorprendió mucho verlo y me dio mucho gusto verlo le presenté a mi esposo le dije a mi esposo mira mijo el es tu tocallo también se llama Daniel ...!! él ya no trabajaba en la compañía de Payton Phoenix Arizona siempre lo voy a recordar con mucho cariño un gran amigo te extraño mucho un día nos vamos a volver a ver mijo un fuerte abrazo asta el cielo..!!!

You will always have a piece of my heart my viejo. Ill always remember in 2012 2013 2014 we literally saw every movie in the theaters. Good times i will never forget.❤

Daniel was always Helpful in any aspect that I needed at work  or even on my own issues at home , like welding some stuff or drilling  he would tell me bring it over and he would have it down, Back in2006 when I started working  at Advantage and we met   I told him that my TV wasn’t working and he told me bring it over I will check it for you , Great  Dude and he would talk about his Dad  how much he love him!  Good bye until we meet again Ese!💕🙏🏻🙏🏻

My brother,
You were an exceptional man, dad, apa,son and brother. You were an example to all of us. You always worried and ensured others were Ok before yourself. 
Words cannot describe the pain we're going through with your loss. The family is missing a huge piece of us and will continue feeling a void until we are together again. I thank god that he gave me the years he did with you. Thank you for always being there for me, thank you for showing me to always laugh at every situation, thank you for always reminding us to make memories with the kids and each other, thank you for being you. I love you so much and I will always make sure your grand baby knows how awesome you were. I love you I love I love you.
Thank you for leaving us Elijah, Gordo, Laila and Enzo. Each of them is a piece of you , each of them will remind us of you.  We got you brother, rest easy and now you can stop worrying. I know I'll see you again and until that time comes I know you will be watching over us. I love you brother 💔💔💔.

Daniel was the best dad, son, brother in law, i have ever met. If he seen you working on something he was the first one to roll up his sleeves to help out not because he felt entitled to but cause he loved to help people no matter what. When i would look at you cuniz i would always say I want to be like that dad, that son that brother. Thanks for everything you will always have a special place in my heart ❤  till we work on something again. Rest brother your family will be taken care of.

I met Daniel working at ALSW in 2005, was a very good person, fun to be around, easy going and a good worker. His love for his kids shown thru his daily life and words. He never hesitated to help anyone out. Was a jokester and could make u smile with the crazy things he said. You will be missed. Condolences to your family who meant so much to you and you kids who will carry your memories going forward. Its sad to have lost you, but u are celebrated by many. Your family definitely has an angel watching over them. Many prayers and blessings 🙏❤ 

Daniel fue una persona que llegó a  nosotros rápido. Nos dimos cuenta que seria un persona que tocaría el corazón de muchas personas y sería el primero en todo. Aprendio  a manejar a los 8 años y desde entonces no paro de darme lecciones de su buen corazón. Siempre preocupadose de sus amigos, de unos porque no tenían a su papá  y de otros porque no tenían comida. A todos siempre les daba su amor y siempre me estaba dando enseñanzas de que iba aser un ser de luz que no le importaba  lo material y siempre estaba listo para ayudar a quien se lo pidiera. Tuve el honor y el gusto de tener un ángel disfrazado de hombre. Hubo personas que se equivocaron y lo confundieron por tonto y se aprovecharon de su corazón bueno y lo lastimaron. Siempre me desia está bien. Ahora entiendo su misión en esta vida que era un guerrero y un protector de nuestra familia. Dios nunca se equivoca. Muchos lo van a extrañar. Dios le da las peores batallas a sus mejores guerreros. Se llevó  un pedazito de nuestro corazón pero siguiras con nosotros asta el ultimo respiro de cada uno  de nosotros.     “Ayy Apa” 
Te Amamos hijo.

My brother was the kindest soul I’ve ever known. His love was unconditional. Daniel was the best dad, Apa, son, brother, and friend. It was an  honor being his little sister. I will cherish every moment I shared with you. I know you leaving this world was another one of your teachings to us all.  Rest easy brother we got your kids forever and although you began this journey first we will all be one together soon. 
Love always your little sister Thalina

I worked with Daniel for quite some time at ALSW. He was always helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me with my car trouble one day and that is the kind of guy he was. He was a good guy and he will truly be missed! God has him now and he will always watch over his kids no matter how old they get. May he rest in peace!

I worked with Daniel at Advantage Logistics and witnessed first hand what a caring  person he was to all and what a devoted man he was to his family. He went about business in a  quiet way but with always a smile on his face and friendly greeting for all. He left a big footprint for his children to follow and they can honor him by living their lives exactly as he did and remembering all the things he taught us all in his short time. RIP my friend
Pam

Daniel I love you so much I have nothing but great memories and thoughts about you. You are the best brother I could ever have in this life and the next. I love the way you always told me don’t worry about it brother it’s gonna ok I love you and kissed my head. Thank you for being the best uncle my kids could have ever known. Im happy to feel in my heart that you are at peace and are resting with great people Surrounding you. I feel so lucky for everyone that got to feel the warmth of your heart. Not to many great men walk this earth and I’m  happy and privileged that I got know one of those men and had the chance to walk beside you. Thank you love you with all my heart your little brother Hugo.

Words have not been invented to describe the pain, heartache and loss our family feels by losing our beloved Daniel. He was an exceptional father, son, brother and friend. We’re now left with all the beautiful memories of his life that will live in all our hearts forever. Until we meet again, brother. Rest In Peace. We love you. 

This was more than just a father to me. He was my hero. He was my go to friend. He was my guider in life. He was everything to me. I question why god chosen to take you but I know the good die young so that speaks for the type of person you were. Biggest lesson you taught me was when we went to Walmart at night and a homeless guy was hungry and you gave him money and he was shivering cause it was really cold outside, with no hesitation you gave him your favorite John deer jacket and showed me to never hesitate to help someone in need. I love you dad and there’s nobody in this world that can replace you. You was the almighty person who kept everyone together and was always too busy worried about other people that you wouldn’t check on yourself. Your legacy will be carried on through Elijah, Laila and I. I’m so blessed that you was my father and I couldn’t ask for a better dad. All the good memories we had will forever be in my heart. Rest easy pops and we will all reunite as ONE again. I love you dad.

Our hearts are heavy with sorrow for your loss.   Daniel was more than a son-in-law, and because of it he will always hold a special place in our hearts and family.  The world lost a truly good man, a true friend,  a  great and awesome Father, a devoted Son, and loving brother.   You're in our thoughts and prayers.  May  God 's spirit  comfort you and His Son strengthen you.   Love the Torres Family.
