Daniel was born on August 25, 1988, and raised in Sacramento, California. He lived in both Roseville, California and Katy, Texas in his adult life.
Daniel was a handyman by trade and his Father’s right hand man. He also painted the most beautiful curbside numbers to enrich neighborhoods in both California and Texas. He loved to write and draw. He always had a Bible or two near and read them quite often. He was a free spirit. He was funny, kind, caring and smart (a mind like no other), he had the biggest heart and loved his family dearly, he never met a stranger and was so giving. He had such a positive attitude. He was a true soldier as he battled a rare aggressive cancer for the last 2 years. He is so loved and will be missed tremendously.
Momma thought you would be here for my forever!
