Born to Mary Archuletta and George Naranjo on September 16, 1949, Joseph Daniel Naranjo left us on February 19, 2024 at the age of 74. His parents, sister (Barbara), half-brother (George) and several fur babies preceded his passing. He is survived by his only daughter, Sophia (wife Brandy) and sister, Susan, among numerous half-siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. Never being one to stay in place for long, you would never know when Dan would pop up. Preferring to go by Dan, he was affectionately known as "Dan the Man", "Danny" and "Humpty Dumpty" depending on where you meet him. Being skilled at carpentry, he was able to express his creativity in building and maintaining pretty much anything. He was a complicated man that did not get the best start in life. It was difficult for Dan to express himself in any other way than with excitement or humor. Headstrong and willful, not a single person was able to influence Dan in any way other than what he wanted. He was a man of comfort and loved to have anything that was cool or technology based. He always had his hair done, loved to dress nice and accessorized well. With all of the pains and troubles that Dan experienced in life, may he rest easy.
