Daniel Caballero Obituary

Daniel Dennis Caballero passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Wednesday, June 23, 2021. Dan was 69 years old. He was born on February 15th, 1952 in New Orleans LA to the late Ralph "Putsy" Caballero and the late Clare Levy Caballero. He was preceded in death by his brother John Caballero and sister-in-law Angelle Caballero. Dan is survived by his loving wife of 32 years Orlean Dupre Caballero and siblings Robert "Rickey" Caballero (Angela Hamm), Ralph "Cabby" Caballero, Jr. (Barbara), Steve Caballero (Connie), Clare Caballero and Audrey Caballero Nuss (George). He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He will be missed by his pets Bugs, Elvis and Lola whom he adored. Danny was a 1970 graduate of De La Salle High School then continued his education at Loyola University. He briefly worked with his father in the pest control business then went on to start his own company, Caballero Pest Control which he owned for 42 years. Dan was an avid fisherman and a lover of outdoors. He was a kind, sweet, generous, man who was always willing to help others. Dan's larger than life personality, sense of humor and quick wit made him the life of every party he attended. He will be sorely missed by his family and many friends. A celebration of Danny's life will be Wednesday June 30, 2021, 4pm to 7pm at The Cannery, 3803 Toulouse St., New Orleans, LA.

My favorite memory is when I was in town for a work conference. Dan pulled up right in front of the hotel to pick me up for dinner with grandmother and Orlean.
As I was coming out of the lobby - the staff was in a little bit of a tizzy. He came in his bug-mobile and I guess the hotel was not 'comfortable' having this right outside of the front door. I got in and we laughed the whole way home.
I am sure that you touched and lightened the hearts of so many friends. I know we just can't help but smile when we talk about you!!!

Danny was prominent in my life while selling real
estate. His company was always significant in pest
inspections. I knew several members of his family. All were kind & lovely. I used drop checks off at his parents home on MIlne. Sadly you will be missed. In my prayers always.

God called Danny on
Wednesday, June 23, 2021.
He would have bet that he would die on Hump Day! I am so sad that he's gone. He has such a sweet spirit. I don't think Danny had a mean bone in his body.
God Bless You, Danny!
I know you God will love being with you. Put in a good word for me, I'll be coming to join you soon!
