The Lord Jesus Christ brought to us an angel from heaven named Daniel Ray Morales. He entered this life on August 13, 1980 in Lakewood, California and entered eternal life on October 1, 2002. He was the youngest of 3 children.Daniel is survived by father Henry Morales and mother Beverly Solorzano, loving stepparents Anna Martinez, and Tony Solorzano. Grandparents Ray and Betty Morales, Hugh and Dottie Layne, Walt and Dolly Russell, and Rita Gollette. Sister Tina Spencer, husband Jan and son's Jay and Seth, and sister Valerie Holmes, husband Louis and children Mercedes, David, Tiara and Savannah. Several aunts, uncles' cousins and friends.
On Mother's Day in the year of 1996 Daniel gave his life to Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He graduated from Bellflower High School in 1999 where he was the Vice-President of the Eternal Club, a club that is dedicated to telling others about the Love of Jesus Christ. He was active in his church Praise Chapel of Paramount, California, where he touched many lives. Danny Diaz baptized him in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost on September 10, 1997.
Even though Daniel was quiet and shy, during his short 22 years of life, he has touched many lives. He was the type of person that when someone gave him something no matter how small or insignificant he kept it close to him.
Daniel gave his heart to so many people and when he couldn't give anymore he felt it was his time to be close with God. So at this time do not cry for Daniel's death, celebrate what he gave to life.
Danny's life will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 8, 2002 at 9:00 AM at the Memorial Chapel inside gate #1 at Rose Hills Memorial Park, in Whittier. He will be laid to rest following the service. Family and friends will gather to visit and share memories on Monday, October 7, 2002 at Gardenside Funeral Service from 4:00 to 8:00 PM
Daniel is my son. One day I will meet him in heaven. We had a special relationship, one only a Mother and Son can have. He was, he is, an he will always be a mighty man of God. Till then, I will be longing to hold him again.Beverly Solorzano

This is Danny's Aunt Go-Go. I live in Houstan Texas. My time spen with Danny was limited since I lived so far away, but, my sister Bev was good about keeping me up on what was going on with the kids. Danny was always quiet and to himself but the vision I see of him is his little half smile. I always thought it was so cute and when he smiled I remember his pretty white teeth. Danny was a man of few words but when he did speak you hung on to his words. My love and prayers go out to Henry, Bev, Tina, Valerie and all the other family and friends at this time. My love for you will never end and my memories are fond and many. Rest in peace.
Love, Aunt Go-Go& Family

I didn't know my cuz, Danny, until about 2 years ago! I got to meet him and really get to know who the person he was inside! My sister Kristi and I spent a while in Arizona at my Aunt B.J.'s house. While she was at work we sould hang out with Danny. He taught us how to draw and how to make food! One night . . . We wanted to make chicken and Danny told us we were doing it all wrong. He then told us to watch and learn! Kristi and I just laughed because guys in Texas just don't cook! We also made some cookies and made them wrong too! We forgot the sugar! (lol) I'll never forget those cookies, they were the worst thing ever! We all decided to just buy some cookies from the store and say we made them! HaHa! You know with Danny there, it made our trip a lot more exciting than we thought it would be. We all had our laughs and we all had our tears. He was always making the world a better place! Well as time went by, Danny and I got close. We wrote letters to each other often and all the time he always told me to be happy no matter what happened because he would always be there for me and if it was not him, it would be God, lifting my head to make me smile. To this day, I know in my little Texas heart my cuz Danny is and will always be there for me and make me take the right steps and choices in life. He will always have a big place in my heart and he will also be a major part of my life! I write this to tell him how much I love him and how much I thank him for everything he has done for me! You know I will never go to tell him THANKS!
Love forever, Ashley
Psalm 23:
Danny, I'm writing this letter, to read to everyone in the family when we all say goodbye to you. The memories I have are mostly when you were just a little boy. I remember coming home from school, you would always be there at the house. You were like my little brother I never had. I remember being a little mischievous and I asked if you wanted to go in the dryer. Your response was "Yes", so I went to put your little body in the dryer for maybe 2 or 3 seconds and I got you out. You wanted to get in again, but I said no! Instead, let's put the cat inside the dryer. So, we did that for a few seconds. I also remember the time when we both drank raw egg together. You said it was good for us, because all the boxers drink it. Then we both gagged and laughed at the same time. We would always play ball together with your cousins Johnny and Gabriel. The three of you would always watch the Chipmunks on TV, and each of you would be one of the chipmunks. If I can remember, little Johnny was Theodore, Gabriel was Melvin and you, Danny were Alvin. Your contemplating was the wrong thing to do!! And I know it's too late now, but I just wish I could have done something, but I didn't try hard enough to reach you and catch you!! I have my memories of you now, Danny Boy.
I love you and will miss you dearly!! RIP
Your Aunt Deborah and Cousin Rachel Gollette
Danny I will never forget your wonderful smile and positive attitude. You, Tim, and I have so many memories together and I never thought the day would come that I would be consuling Tim and telling him that you were in a better place. I remember the three of us playing together when we were younger and all the laughs you and I shared. I will really miss your wonderful smile and laugh, but most of all I will miss the excitement of knowing that you were going to be there. I love you Danny and I know I will see again in heaven but I just wish you knew how many lives you touched and how much you were loved. As I looked around tonight at all the tears that were shed for you at your wake I thought to myself " If only Danny saw this he would still be here because he would realize that there was a reason to live and he was important to so many people", But then I realized that if you were still here then the tears would not have shed. Danny I know you are looking down at all of us now and you do know how much we all love you and will miss you through our walk in life but you are just a prayer away and we should all be thankful to say we have another angel in heaven looking over us. You were my cousin and my friend but now you are my angel. So until we meet again in heaven I will hold you and the memories we shared close to my heart everyday. With all my love and I'll miss you.
Your cousin & friend Christina

My brother Danny,
Oh, how I love you so much. I don't know if you even knew the magnitude of love everyone had for you, from the closest person in your church to the closest person in your family. I am not sure what all of this means and I am not sure what I am supposed to do next, but what I do know is you are now my angel from the heavens and you now will be looking over me and my family from here on out. My heart is yearning to see that beautiful smile of yours and to hear just one more word from your mouth. I know that I will be seeing you soon in the heavens above, but for now I will be looking forward to seeing you in my dreams. One last thing my little brother I did't get to say to you, "I LOVE YOU, MY DANNY"
Hugs and Kisses

You touched so many people's lives. Mine especially. I could not have made it through childhood without you and Tina by my side. I was blessed to have you for a brother.

Danny,
Your smile will live on forever. You have your dad's smile and that easy go lucky attitude. I'll remember the kindness you showed my kid's. When you played basketball with Anthony and when you shared Poptarts with Denae,and when you came to Niecey's baby shower. But most of all I remember last Christmas (2001), when you came over at 7am and woke everyone up just to put a dollar in the stockings. I remember you stayed and had breakfast. Then you left and came back and had dinner with us.
I'll always remember your smile.
Rest in peace Danny. You ment so much to so many people, your kindness and smile will always be remembered.
You'll always be in our prayers.

Danny, every second of every minute of every hour, always you are in my thoughts. I may go about my daily duties as if I don't hurt anymore, but nothing could be futher from the truth. You're in each and every beat of my heart. Each of my tears are wonderful memories of you. I look forward to the day we will see each other again in heaven.
Always and forever,your Mom.

It's almost 3 years.. I never stop thinking about you, everytime your nephew Kaden smiles in his sleep, I know you are visiting him. Seth talks about you all of the time, he says "uncle Danny is in the sky with
Jesus." , and Jay looks more like you everyday,
he even acts a little like you too. You are
never forgotten, Mom and Dad are always dreaming about you. We all miss you and love you very much.
I can not wait to see you and your smile..
Love your sister,
Tina
