Danny Manoz Balady, 70, passed away on June 23, 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Born and raised in Phoenix, Danny served honorably in the United States Marine Corps, achieving the rank of Warrant Officer. His military service defined much of his life, reflecting his dedication, strength, and commitment.
He was a son, father, brother, and grandfather - roles he carried with quiet dignity. Danny was a private man who lived life on his own terms and remained true to his principles.
Danny is survived by his mother, Bonnie Manoz; his children, Gina, Frank, and Matt Balady; and his grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, George (Rosalie); his sister, Darlene (Alex); and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his brother, Mark.
A burial with military honors will take place Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.
In lieu of flowers and in honor of Danny’s service, donations are welcome to the Gary Sinise Foundation, which provides homes and support to wounded veterans.
