Daniel Paul "Danny" Ferrara, born July 5, 1962, in Los Angeles, California, passed away on September 22, 2025, at the age of 63.

Danny was the beloved son of the late Angelo Ferrara and Camille Driscoll. He is survived by his brothers Pat, Mike, and Jon Ferrara. He was preceded in death by his siblings Craig Warner and Madeleine Warner.

Danny proudly served his country in the United States Army as a Field Artillery Computer Repairman, stationed in Germany, where he also studied at the University of Maryland. After his service, he built a remarkable career in information technology spanning more than three decades. His work included roles at Warner Bros.

Entertainment, Paramount Pictures, and Pyramid Technologies before becoming Director of IT at Capital Alliance Group in Irvine, California. Danny was also an entrepreneur, founding his own IT consulting firm, Netdataconcepts.

He earned academic credentials from ITT Technical Institute, New Horizons, Cisco College, and the U.S. Army, and held certifications including Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and Cisco CCENT. Danny's deep technical expertise and strategic vision made him a respected leader in IT infrastructure, systems management, and technology planning.

Danny was a longtime resident of Irvine, California, where he worked, built friendships, and enjoyed life surrounded by family and community.

Beyond his professional life, Danny was a devoted outdoorsman who found joy in skiing, biking, and hiking. He also loved to travel the world, exploring places across Europe and the Far East, including Thailand, which brought him lasting memories and experiences. Friends and colleagues alike remember him for his intelligence, humor, loyalty, and generosity.

A graveside service will be held at Calvary Cemetery in Los Angeles in January 2026, where Danny will be laid to rest.

Danny was a loving and kind person who always enjoyed spending time with his family. He will now be laid to rest in the same cemetery as his mother, father, grandparents, and sibling - a place of family, peace, and remembrance.
