Danny D. Valdez Jr., 53, a lifelong resident of Las Cruces, NM, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2024, at Mesilla Valley Hospice, surrounded by his closest loved ones. Danny was born to Danny D. Valdez Sr. and Stella Valdez on January 6, 1971, in Las Cruces, NM. He graduated from Hatch Valley High School in 1989 and was a proud Hatch Bear.
Danny met Celia Delgado, the mother of his three children, and together they built a family filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. He

A lifelong sports fan, Danny loved cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Cubs. He was the biggest fan of the Knight Choir and the Las Cruces Bulldawgs.

Valdez Sr.; his children, Michael Holguin, Sophia (Michael) Redwine, and Emma Valdez; his grandchildren, Jack Holguin and Julian Redwine; his sister, Veronica (Jason) Doil; his nephew, Garrett Doil; and his former wife, Celia Delgado.
He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Stella Valdez; his grandparents, Carmen and Enrique Avalos and Lucinda and Carlos Valdez; his three beloved babies, Christopher, Carlos, and Daniel; his step-mom Christine Valdez and his cherished dogs, Brandy and Diesel.
Danny’s family would like to extend a special thanks to the ICU staff at Memorial Medical Center and the kind staff at Mesilla Valley Hospice for
their compassionate care during his final days.
In Danny's memory, his family asks that you carry forward his spirit of kindness, laughter, and loyalty to those you hold dear.

I first met Daniel when he was about 6 years old. I saw him through out the years and he was always friendly and happy. He grew up to be a wonderful person. We later worked together when worked for the City of Las Cruces. He helped me with the parks, where I delivered summer meals. He was also kind, and made my job easier. I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope your good memories help you through this difficult time.

He was my friend. I will miss our random talks year after year. I will forever remember him most from our childhood days goofing off in class thinking we would all grow old and live forever. We’d talk a couple to a few times a year picking up like no time had passed. Just catching up and checking in with one another. He was just one of those friends you knew you’d have forever. This is a loss to so many. Heaven became even more beautiful when he arrived.
