After a battle with cancer, Daniel Santana Villaseñor passed away at home on July 20th 2016, in Bakersfield, CA at the age of 37. Danny was born in Los Angeles, California, on May 26, 1979.

His father Jose Galindo Villaseñor and his nephew Andrew Joseph preceded him in death.

Danny attended Garey Senior High in Pomona, CA. Prior to his cancer diagnosis, he worked for Mt Sac fire Academy. Danny loved his job helping to ensure all fire academy students where properly fitted and equipped for the class. He was an avid Bass fisherman who enjoyed a day out on the lake on his boat. Danny always made an attempt to put a smile on everyone's face, whether through a joke, acting silly, or through his own infectious smile. He was generous with his time and loyal to his friends; always making an effort to stay in touch and make himself available to the people he loved. Danny loved making kids laugh. His Nephew Matthew will always have fond memories of the many fun summers spent with his Uncle Danny taking him fishing, taking him to baseball games, Disney Land, and spending time with him doing something fun.

Daniel's family would like to thank his wife Rita, and her family for their love and care. Thank you to his numerous friends, and relatives who were there for him during his illness.
