Danielle Garcia, 35, of Murietta California, passed away peacefully at home the evening of July 5, 2023, surrounded by loved ones. Danielle left this earth to be an angel in heaven. After her long battle, Cancer had taken her, but her beautiful soul will live on with us forever. Every day, as she lives in our hearts, we must keep her memory alive by sharing our stories with others who loved her.

Danielle was born in Fresno, CA where she spent her childhood caring for her siblings and spending time with her large family until she joined the Marine Corps in 2006 Graduating from bootcamp as the honor graduate. She not only endured the physical, mental, and moral toughness that comes with Marine Corps boot camp training, she did it with perseverance and pride. The Marine Corps became her life and allowed her to travel the world and meet new people. She strived every day to be the best with her family back home always on her mind.  Anyone who knows Danielle knew the challenges she overcame in early life, yet she never allowed the circumstances to stop her sense of humor and her drive. Those obstacles only motivated her to do better for herself and the community she built around herself.

During her career in the Marine Corps, she became a mother to two wonderful children, Aliza and Jeziah. Her children were always her top priority, she showered them with love and affection and always worked to provide them with everything she never had.  Danielle always wanted the best for her children. She showed them everything she could, took them everywhere she was able to, and gave them so many memories and experiences that they will remember forever.  When it came to protecting her babies, she did everything in her power to keep them safe. Danielle found someone to share her life with and protect her children like she would. There weren't too many people she allowed in her life. She didn't trust many people to protect her babies the way she could. With MaryRose, they built a complete family, grew together, and created so many memories that will last a lifetime.

Danielle is survived by her children Aliza and Jeziah, wife MaryRose,  father Isaac, 15 siblings Isaac, Rick, Sabrina, Manuel, Jay, Adam,Amber, Andrew, Gracie, John, Zekiel, Elias, Lydia, Noah, Leo, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins not to mention the immense community of loved ones she has called family over the years.

Those people were there for her in all phases of life, from the Marine Corps to civilian life. Her friends would do anything for her, as she always was there for them. So many people respected her and looked up to her. They would reach out for guidance and absorb every word she said. She told you the truth and the way it was, whether you liked to hear it or not. Danielle was full of knowledge and helped give people the tools they needed when it came to handling different situations.

Danielle loved her family with all her heart, especially her nieces, nephews and baby brothers. She made sure they all thought she was the best. If you saw her with them, you could see the abundance of love that they shared among each other. She wanted every one of her siblings to have a wonderful life and expected them to live life to their fullest. She would go out of her way to help any one of her siblings. She was very thankful to her dad because he was always there for her. The one thing she respected of him was that he never left her.

Danielle was loved by so many and reciprocated that love in return. Danielle touched the hearts of so many people and she will be missed dearly. The one thing that she always wanted was for everyone to strive in life, build lasting memories, travel and see all the wonderful things this world has to offer. Honor her wishes and live life to the fullest as she would have wanted.
