Born on July 26, 1948 in Raton, New Mexico, to Adolph and Esther Garcia, Daniel was a hardworking and dedicated man who devoted his life to caring for his family. From an early age, he understood the value of perseverance and commitment. As a handyman, Daniel spent his years working with his hands, always ready to lend his skills to anyone in need. After retiring, he found joy in simple pleasures like fishing, crafting beautiful crosses, and occasionally testing his luck at the casinos. His love for life and the people around him was evident in everything he did.
