Daniel Renteria, Jr., a CDL professional driver and resident of Quinlan, Texas, passed on November 4, 2025 at the age of 29.
Daniel Renteria, Jr. is survived by his parents, Daniel Renteria, Sr. and Estela Renteria; wife, Stephanie Renteria; children, Melenie Danielle Renteria, Daniel Stephen Renteria, and Damien Daniel Renteria; and sister, Beatriz Renteria.
Danny was born on November 13, 1995 in Dallas, Texas to Daniel Renteria and Estela Garcia Renteria. He attended Abeka Academy and was homeschooled by his parents. He worked as a CDL driver for thirteen years.
He married Stephanie Beltran on June 11, 2017 at his family home in Quinlan, Texas and had Melenie, Stephen, and a baby boy on the way, Damian Daniel Renteria.
Danny lived a full and meaningful life, defined by love, hard work, and dedication. He took great pride in achieving his dream of becoming a professional driver and earning his CDL—accomplishments that reflected his determination and strong work ethic.
Danny was incredibly talented and had a deep love for music. He could sing beautifully and play both the piano and guitar, sharing his gift with everyone around him. His voice and melodies brought warmth, joy, and comfort to those who listened.
One of Danny’s favorite hobbies was working on his truck. He loved spending time fixing it up, adding his own touches, and making it look just the way he wanted. It was something that brought him pride and peace. Danny also had a genuine interest in firearms and approached that passion with responsibility and respect.
Those who knew Danny will remember him for his kind heart, sense of humor, and outgoing personality. He had a gift for connecting with people—his words carried sincerity, and his ability to listen made everyone feel important and seen. He was deeply respected by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him, admired for the way he treated others with kindness and genuine care.
Above all else, Danny was a devoted husband and a loving father. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family and took immense pride in being there for his wife, children, and the precious baby on the way. His family was his greatest source of happiness and purpose.
Danny’s love, laughter, music, and light will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. His memory will continue to inspire and comfort those he leaves behind.
Forever in our hearts.

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
