DANIEL ALFRED VERA JR

Daniel Alfred Vera Jr., aged 57, a beloved family man and respected community member, passed away peacefully of natural causes on November 15, 2024, in Riverside, California. Born on December 29, 1966, in Santa Ana, California, to Daniel Alfred Vera Sr. and Lilly Vera, Daniel's life was marked by his dedication to his loved ones and his passion for life.

Daniel's journey began as a proud graduate of La Sierra High School in 1985, where the foundation of his strong work ethic and leadership qualities was laid. His professional life was a testament to his dedication, having been a steadfast Supervisor at McLane for 23 years. Daniel's colleagues knew him as a man of integrity and commitment, qualities that greatly contributed to his success and the respect he earned in his workplace.

At the heart of Daniel's world was his family. His love story with his wife, Yvette Vera, spanned 39 cherished years. Together, they raised a beautiful family, including sons Daniel J. Vera and Michael Vera, and daughters Marissa Vera and Angelica Vera. Daniel's joy was multiplied with the arrival of his grandchildren, Alexa, Michael F., Adrian, and Sophia, who will remember their grandfather for his warmth and playful spirit.

Daniel's family extended to his siblings, who shared in the tapestry of his life: Johnny Vera, Anthony Vera, Linda Fittro, and Valerie Vera. Each family gathering was a reflection of the love and laughter that Daniel brought into their lives.

Beyond his work and family, Daniel was a man of many interests. His love for sports was undeniable; he found great pleasure in playing and watching football, baseball, and basketball. These activities were more than just hobbies; they were ways in which he connected with friends, family, and his community. Daniel's love for barbequing and spending time with his family was legendary, with many looking forward to his delicious grills and the camaraderie that accompanied these feasts.

The words that best describe Daniel are thoughtful, loving, and kind. He lived his life with an open heart, always ready to lend a hand or share a word of encouragement. His presence was a source of comfort and strength to all who were fortunate enough to know him.
