Daniel Fuentes Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cypress Creek Funeral Home and Crematory on Sep. 2, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Daniel Ray Fuentes, beloved husband, father, son, and brother, passed away on August 27, 2025, at the age of 49. He was born on April 12, 1976, and throughout his life touched the hearts of all who knew him with his warmth, humor, and unwavering love for family.

Daniel is survived by his devoted wife, Esmeralda Fuentes, and their cherished son, Joaquin Fuentes, who was his pride and joy. He also leaves behind his loving siblings: brother David Fuentes and sister-in-law Yvette Fuentes, along with their children Klarissa Fuentes, Khloe Fuentes, and Santiago Fuentes; sister Monica Fuentes; and sister Jessica Fuentes and brother-in-law Raul Hernandez, along with their children Anahli Hernandez (and great-nephew Jaxson Joseph Estrada), Andrea Hernandez, Alexandra Hernandez, and Jaymes Hernandez.

Daniel's family and friends will remember him for his selflessness, his laughter that could light up a room, and the deep love he carried for those closest to him. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of sharing in his life.
