Daniel will be missed greatly by everyone who knew him. He was a huge fan of the Steelers and enjoyed being outdoors every chance he got. His 3-year old daughter, Aviana, brought him great joy and he loved spending time with her, watching her explore, learn, and grow. He loved listening to music and discovered a passion for cooking. Though he was taken from his family and friends so early, he made a lasting impact on those around him.
Daniel is survived by his daughter Aviana, companion Taylor Ruiz, parents David and Sonia Villagran, Uncle Robert Lopez (Danna), Uncle Michael Ogas (Roxanne), Grandfather Sabas Villagran, Great Aunt Tia Rosita, Grandmother Agie Vigil, “Granny” Vernel King, and several cousins, aunts and uncles. Daniel was preceded in death by maternal grandparents Bobby and Senaida Lopez, Grandmother Rosa Maria Villagran, and Grandfather Abanildo Vigil.
