Daniel Marquez Perez Westlund Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 9, 2025.
Daniel Marquez Perez Westlund was welcomed to his eternal home on April 26, 2025 in Los Angeles, CA. He was born February 13, 1986 to Anastacio and Matilde (Perez) Marquez in Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacán, Mexico. He married Christopher Westlund on October 5, 2024 in Los Angeles.

A creative child, Daniel enjoyed creating beauty while at play and home. This continued throughout his life as he developed skills in producing his own style accessories, and formed a deep-rooted love for fashion, in particular the Italian brand Etro, which he had the pleasure of attending their runway show during Milan Fashion Week in 2024.

Daniel was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. He had a delicate curiosity for Earth's natural beauty and wonder; a fondness for expression through color and pattern; and a silent unwavering strength that inspired everyone.

His passing has left a void in the hearts of many. We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Daniel is survived by his husband Christopher; his parents Matilde and Anastacio; a brother, Andres (Caleb), a sister Yera (Ali); and niece, Leila. He also leaves behind many extended family members, friends, and others whose lives Daniel touched and are invited to celebrate his life at Candela La Brea 831 S La Brea Ave. in Los Angeles at 2:00PM on Sunday, June 1, 2025.

Daniel Márquez Pérez Westlund fue recibido en su hogar eterno el 26 de abril de 2025 en Los Ángeles, CA. Nació el 13 de febrero de 1986 en Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, México. Se casó con Christopher Westlund el 5 de octubre del 2024 en Los Ángeles.

Un niño creativo, Daniel disfrutaba creando belleza mientras jugaba y estaba en casa. Esto continuó a lo largo de su vida, ya que desarrolló habilidades en la producción de accesorios de su propio estilo y formó un amor profundamente arraigado por la moda, en particular por la marca italiana Etro, a la que tuvo el placer de asistir a su desfile durante la Semana de la Moda de Milán en 2024.

Daniel fue una luz brillante en la vida de todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo. Tenía una delicada curiosidad por la belleza y las maravillas naturales de la Tierra; una afición por la expresión a través del color y el patrón; y una fuerza silenciosa e inquebrantable que inspiraba a todos.

Su fallecimiento ha dejado un vacío en el corazón de muchos. Les pedimos que lo recuerden no por la forma en que terminó su vida, sino por la forma en que se vivió, y por el profundo impacto que tuvo en la vida de aquellos que tuvieron el placer de conocerlo.

A Daniel le sobrevive su esposo Christopher; sus padres Matilde y Anastacio; un hermano, Andrés (Caleb), una hermana Yera (Alí); y su sobrina, Leila. También deja atrás a muchos familiares, amigos y otras personas cuyas vidas Daniel tocó y están invitados a celebrar su vida en Candela La Brea 831 S La Brea Ave. en Los Ángeles a partir del 2:00PM el domingo 1 de junio de 2025.

To All the Family and Friends of Daniel ~
On behalf of all the staff at Lerman Orthopedics I wish to extend my deepest condolences on the loss of Daniel. I had the privilege of knowing and working with Daniel on his journey to prosthetic rehabilitation. We clicked day one and discovered we shared the same birthday, February 13th. Daniel was always motivated to succeed and put forth his greatest efforts in learning to walk again, even when he was not feeling his best. He always pushed himself and managed to always come in with a smile.
We shared many laughs, and he shared his passion with life and career with me, and honestly, it was a joy and inspiration for me. I will miss working with him and hearing about the endless possibilities that he desired to accomplish. He never lamented about his illness and literally just put one foot after another in his goal to look towards tomorrow.
May you rest in peace my friend and may a part of you go on in all who crossed your path.
