Daniel Eng Obituary
He was born May 1, 1979 in San Francisco, California, son of Marcia E. Eng of Glen Carbon and Edward K. Eng of San Jose, California.
He was a 1998 graduate of Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park, New York. A musician especially talented on the guitar and keyboard, Dan enjoyed the days of being a part of the "Custom" band. He was a true "foodie" and very creative chef and mixologist. Danny took pride in preparing and serving all types of food, most entrees with his own flair and creating his twist of new drinks for others to try. He was a Boy Scout, served as a volunteer fireman, and learned the art of karate. Danny was a kind soul and compassionate person, always giving to others. He will be remembered for the love and special times shared with family and many friends.
In addition to his beloved parents, he is survived by his fiancé, Kammi Moore and her two sons, Levi and Laytin; two brothers, Aaron E. Eng of Daly City, California and Nicholas A. Eng of Portland, Oregon; grandmother, Mee C. Eng of San Jose, California; aunts and uncles, Diane You of San Bruno, California, Frank and Doris Eng of San Jose, California, Stan and Margaret Eng of Burlingame, California, Danette and Barry Bobbitt of Chandler, Arizona and Carroll Strowmatt of East Alton; many loving cousins; other extended family; numerous friends and his cherished dog, Milkshake.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Roy and Virginia Hutton and Gene Eng and two aunts, Diana Strowmatt and Rhonda Zacha, and uncle Robert You.
In celebration of his life, visitation will be at Irwin Chapel, 591 Glen Crossing Road in Glen Carbon, Illinois on Saturday, April 9, 2016 from 1:00 p.m. until time of service at 3:00 p.m. with Reverend Rob Schneider officiating.

I met Danny at siue through his dad. I met his mom and brothers. Very nice family. I used to always try and keep in contact over the past ten years since I graduated college and moved to Chicago. I came down in 2010 and Danny was working at a restaurant and we ate there and he was nice. He will continue be in my thoughts

My deepest condolences to the Eng family through this trying time. Dan was one of the kindest, most talented and gentle souls I've ever encountered and had the pleasure of calling a friend. We played in our very first serious band together (NEXT 2 LAST) recorded music and played a ton of shows. Some were AWESOME and some were DISASTERS. We always made the best of it whether we drove to Pittsburgh to play to just the other bands on the bill or to Queens in front of a couple hundred people. Dan was a big part of making those trips and shows worthwhile with his hi-jinx and crazy sense of humor. I'll cherish the memories and will always have the music we made together. I'm not very religious but I am sending positive vibes your way. I hope you are all well considering this tragedy. Love ya Dan "Chigga" Eng rest in peace my friend.
