Daniel Barrera Obituary

Daniel Barrera, 43, of Humble went to be with his Lord and Savior February 02, 2013. How majestic it must be in Heaven as he is drumming now for the Lord. He was born November 11, 1969 to Joe and Gloria Barrera.

Daniel is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Alex Ruiz and Chris Barrera and grandmother, Delfina Barrera. He is survived by his beloved grandmother,Leonor Ruiz, and beloved mother, Gloria Ruiz Barrera and father and hero, Joe Carlos Barrera Sr. Daniel is also survived by a family that he treasured, wife, Calletana " Tania" Barrera, sons, Kyle, Hector Noel, and Nicholas Ray Barrera. Also left to mourn are brother Joe Barrera Jr. and wife Ana, brother Michael Barrera and wife Chelsice and sister, Maria Cook and husband Clint. He is further survived by sister in law Gloria Rodriguez and Adolfo Zamora, and mother and father in law, Hector and Gloria Rodriguez and brother in laws Hector and wife Lynn Rodriguez, Jorge Rodriguez and wife Loraina, numerous nieces and nephews, friends and family, too many to name.

Daniel graduated from Pasadena High School in 1989 and has worked in the delivery business until his death. But Daniels true passion was his family. But next to that it was always about the Music. Daniel was an accomplished drummer, currently with his band Tejano Party appearing all over the community. Daniel's original band was DIVINO and was signed with Capital Records. He loved Tejano Music. Friends and family will remember his sense of humor also. He was a comedian at heart.
