Daniel "Danny" was born on November 24, 1978. Although he had down syndrome, he lived life to the fullest. He loved and enjoyed his family and many cousins and received much love from them in return.  Danny participated in Special Olympics, and he loved to bowl. It didn't matter how many pins he knocked down; he still celebrated each time he sent that bowling ball down the alley. Danny enjoyed going out. He loved going to SeaWorld, especially when he knew his cousin was under one of those costumes! He enjoyed Morgan's Wonderland, visiting Santa, riding the train, and playing in the water park. Not only did he enjoy the train at Morgan's Wonderland, but he also enjoyed riding the train at Brackenridge Park. He loved attending the rodeo and looked forward to seeing his favorite artist. He loved Fiesta and anywhere there was a party.

Danny loved to entertain his family and friends with his singing, dancing, and acting. He loved all genres of music including Tejano, country, and rock. He had his favorite artists like George Strait, Brooks and Dunn, Selena, Emilio, and KISS! He had a large collection of CDs and knew the words to his favorite songs. He also enjoyed watching different movies and would quote lines from his favorites like Urban Cowboy and the Blues Brothers. Danny looked forward to "Hamburger Friday" and going to Target with his aunt on Sunday. He always knew he would come home with a new T-shirt. A holiday couldn't go by without a trip to Buc-ee's for that special holiday T-shirt.

Danny had a special bond with his grandma and we know that they are together once again. There are so many memories that Danny has left with each of us that we will always hold special in our hearts. He will be greatly missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
