Daniel Johnson Obituary
Daniel was a generous person. He supported many organizations and gave to those in need. He was an accomplished learner, graduating from Arizona State with a BS in Exercise and Wellness and an MS in Business and was a registered EMT. Daniel was a self learner and could accomplish anything he set his mind to. Danny (as he is fondly remembered by his family) had an unwavering love for sports, especially the Arizona Cardinals.
Please join us for a Memorial service to celebrate the life of Daniel, which will be held at Church at South Mountain on September 13, at 10:00am.
Family is requesting donations be made to St. Jude’s or Kwamie Lassiter Foundation on Daniel's behalf in lieu of flowers.

Powder was one of the best I worked with on Grave shift. I knew he would always have my back and I had nothing to worry about when he was near. I will miss his laugh, ugly hand writing, smart@$$ remarks and stylish blazers. I hope he knew how much he was loved. Rest in peace Powder.

I worked with Daniel for many years at Casino Arizona / Talking Stick. We worked graveyard shift together and shared many laughs. We also shared an unforgettable trip to Las Vegas with our mutual friend Erik. We traveled to The World Series of Poker and participated in the casino employees event. Daniel did the best out of the three and "cashed " in the event. During the trip we stayed at Planet Hollywood and enjoyed cocktails and many hours of playing Pai Gow together. Planet Hollywood also offered daily poker tournaments, Daniel is so good at poker that he won all four daily tournaments that he entered on the trip ! I will always remember this trip and how great Daniel is with numbers and dominating the opponents. I will also remember how dedicated Daniel is to his work, he pays attention to details and is always at the top of his game. He always made work fun and entertained the whole graveyard crew. We will all miss him dearly, he was one of a kind !

Daniel, my buddy, my friend, I miss you. From our days breaking in the industry together, to moving to Phoenix together, to going on fun adventures, golfing, Cardinal games. We had so many debates and deep philosophical discussions. I would argue with you, and I think you did the same, just because we enjoyed the challenge of our minds headbutting. I always had to bring my A game. You made me sharper and better, and you made everything more fun. Thank you for so many good and wonderful memories. I'm glad I had my camera before cell phones. Say hi to our dear friend Dana. You are both missed. I miss you my friend!

I'll miss so many things about you Powder. The Cardinals games, going to eat at Lo Lo's and Beni Han Han, your coming to my house for game nights and Friendsgiving dinners (even tho you blamed me for your weight gain afterwards) your laugh EVERYTHING. You left an imprint on me and my babies that can never be replaced. I love you Friend Rest Peacefully
