My deepest condoleces to the family.
Tío Daniel was a great example of a catholic man.
The last time he went to MTY he asked me to drive through one of the Main avenue and he was amazed how the city grew
He remembered he used to play with marbles into a non stop off traffic ave
Abuelito Esteban was very proud of him every time we stop at the border to solicite the form to pass to USA he always say to the officer: We're gonna visit my son, the deacon.
Rest in peace tío...I'll never forget to say my prayers thanks to u

My deepest condolences to my Tia and cousins. I remember when I was hospitalized and my Tio Daniel traveled to Houston to be of support to my parents. He led a prayer in my hospital room and placed a little wooden cross in my hand. I am also thankful for the numerous trips he made to spend time with my dad, his brother. My dad was very fond of his older brother. He was very proud of him. My Tio Daniel is a wonderful example of an older brother looking after and keeping up with his younger siblings. My Tio Daniel will always hold a special place in our hearts. May he rest in eternal peace.
