Daniel Ray "Dan" Gamez, 54, passed away unexpectedly February 22, 2026, in San Diego, California.



Dan was born August 16, 1971, in Fort Worth, Texas.

He received his law degree from South Texas College of Law and was licensed to practice law in both Texas and California.



Dan lived for a few years in Houston before relocating to San Diego. Known for his lively personality and kindness, Dan made friends easily and was always willing to offer support and encouragement to others. He was a devoted Dallas Cowboys fan.
