Daniel Joseph Salinas Obituary (2024)

Daniel Joseph Salinas, born on January 23, 1971, in San Francisco, California, passed away on November 25, 2024, in Moxee, Washington, at the age of 53. Daniel was a man who filled every room with laughter and love. He was the heart of his family, always bringing everyone together for unforgettable 4th of July parties, Thanksgiving celebrations, or even just a casual family dinner. His home was a haven for family and friends alike, a place of joy and togetherness. Daniel's love for life was evident in everything he did. He was a passionate 49ers fan who never missed a game and had a notorious disdain for wearing pants--a trait his family fondly remembers. Summers were spent boating, camping, and cheering on the kids at their sports events. A true movie enthusiast, Daniel could often be found in his favorite chair, engrossed in a new film, always eager to share his love for cinema with those around him. Daniel is survived by his beloved wife, Mela, his daughters Alyssa, Priscilla, and Victoria, his son Buddy, and his cherished grandchildren: Kendrick, Lucinda, Natalia, Nadia, Angel, Nixon, Angelina and Jayden. He also leaves behind his devoted mother, Elizabeth, Step Mother Cheryl, Step Father Ray, his brother Jeremy, sister Monique, nephews Jermayn and Max, Marcus and Micquel , and niece Alicia. He is preceded in death by his father, Joseph Salinas, his Uncle PeeWee and many other loved ones who now guide him home to Heavenly Father. A Service to honor Daniel's life will be held on December 20th at 1:00 PM at Brookside Funeral Home in Moxee, followed by a Celebration of Life at Yakima Square & Dance Center (207 E Charron Rd, Moxee), from 2:00PM-6:00PM Daniel's spirit will live on in the memories of those who knew him, and his legacy of love, laughter, and togetherness will forever be treasured.
