In Loving Memory of Daniel James Romo
Dear Friends and Family, With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Daniel J. Romo, who departed this life on July 26, 2025, at the age of 92. Born on September 26, 1932, in Los Angeles, California, to Jesus and Herminia Romo, Dan lived a life full of love, dedication, and hard work.
Dan shared a beautiful life with his devoted wife, Linda Romo, for 64 years. Together, they built a loving home and a successful business, Dan Romo State Farm Insurance. He is survived by his wife, Linda, his children Kevin (Sandy) Romo and Amy (Marla) Romo-Loomis, his brother Don (Carmen) Romo and his grandchildren Kaitlyn Romo, Hailey Romo, Lucas Romo-Loomis, Adrian Romo-Loomis, Phillip Romo, Joseph Romo, Andrew Rothenbach and Jacob Rothenbach.
He is preceded in death by his son David Romo, his sister Diana Lomeli, and his beloved aunt Mary De La Torre.
A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Dan grew up in Southern California and began working at a young age, picking fruit on the land that is now Disneyland. He was drafted into the U.S. Army at 18 and served in the Korean War. After his military service, he attended California State University Long Beach and began his career in the burgeoning electronic industry with these leaders that are still here today, Cannon Electric, Texas Instruments and AT&T Labs. He manufactured and tested the first motherboards and red diodes for the first personal calculators. Dan later joined Transitron Electronic Corp where he led a team manufacturing power grid transformers (Maquiladora) in Tijuana, Mexico, which eventually brought him to Laredo, Texas in the early 1970s. After the plant closed, he began a career with State Farm in 1976 and retired after 27 years with the company at age 73.
Dan enjoyed working around the house and in the yard, barbecuing for his family, playing golf, and was an active member of Kiwanis. He was a true handyman and took great pride in his work and hobbies.
He will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 29, 2025 from 8:00 am to 10:30 am. A chapel service will be held at 10:00 am.
