Daniel James Juarez, lovingly known as Danny, was born on January 11, 1996, in Ventura, California. On February 5, 2026, he left this earthly world far too soon at the age of 30, but not before living a life full of heart, passion, adventure, and deep love.

Danny was a loving and caring father to his two beautiful children, Shiloh and Sapphire Juarez.

An adventurer at heart, Danny felt most alive under open skies and near open water. Whether casting a fishing line at sunrise, riding his bike down winding roads, exploring new trails, or simply soaking in nature with friends, he embraced the outdoors with gratitude and wonder. Most importantly, Danny loved God. His faith grounded him, guided him, and gave him strength.

Music and art flowed through his soul. His creativity connected people, brought friends and family together, and created memories that will echo for years to come. Through rhythm and expression, Danny had a way of making people feel seen, understood, and united.

He was born to Daniel Juarez and Jessica Weldon and was blessed with a large and loving family. He is cherished by his parents; his grandparents James Juarez, Kathrine Pele, Cheryl McCallum, and Stephen Weldon; his sisters Aleena Juarez, Alana Juarez, and Christina Gonzalez; and his brother Jesse McCallum, and his godparents; Savannah and Christian Lusby. Danny also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends who were more like family.

Though his time here was far too short, Danny lived boldly. He loved fiercely. He laughed loudly. He created freely. He leaves behind a legacy of adventure, music, faith, and unconditional love.

His story does not end here — it continues in the lives of his children, in the songs that still play, in the trails he once rode, and in the hearts of all who knew him.

Forever loved. Forever missed.
