Daniel Torres Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 5, 2017.

Daniel "Danny" Torres
1949-2017
Piru

It is with hearts filled with peace, love and prayer that we send the soul of our dearly departed husband and father to you Lord.
Danny Torres, Piru Lake dam operator for over 29 years, was born and raised in the beautiful town of Piru and was proud to be known as a Piruvian. He was born into a family of musicians and quickly found his musical talents in playing the drums, guitar and vocals. Growing up he performed with friends and family at local events and with the success of his musical talents he later formed the well-known Danny Torres and the Piru River Band. Danny was also an outdoorsman and had a passion for fishing, hunting, and horseback riding. Annually he enjoyed opening season fishing trips, local and out of State deer hunting, trap shooting, winning Cribbage games, and Piru Canyon round-ups. Danny brought life to any gathering and was known to play his guitar around a campfire and had such wonderful stories and life lessons to share. Danny was also a generous and loving man, donating his musical talent to play at church and community functions, and opened his heart and home to anyone that crossed his path. In his home he made sure that you had a tummy filled with his wife's delicious home cooking and that you knew you were now an honorary Torres son, nephew, primo or compa, and that you could add "-ito" (Ryanito) or Torres to your name (Fernando, Andy & Spanky Torres).
Of all the things he was and did in his life, his greatest adventure, and what he was most proud of, was his role of husband, father and grandfather. He was blessed to have married Irma the love of his life, who for 47 years was his loving and dedicated companion. His prized champions were his sons Daniel (Karen), Vincent (Rochelle) and Tomas (JoAnn) who he raised to carry on the Torres "Family Tradition", but those that brought him the most joy were his grandchildren Daniel III, James, Sophia, Thomas, Hanna, Lily Jo, Angel, Phillip (Krysta), Ethan, Gracie, Chase, and waiting to greet him in heaven is his grandson Justin.
We would like to give our heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful care given by the ICU Staff of Santa Paula Hospital who guided us and Danny through the final moments of his life here on earth. For one last time we invite you to join us in celebrating the life, the love and the music of Daniel Torres with prayer of the Holy Rosary and Catholic Mass on Saturday, June 24th at 9am at Piru San Salvador Church with grave site services at Piru Cemetery. Share your memories with the family during the reception that will be held at the Fillmore Veteran's Memorial Building.

My heartfelt condolences to Irma and family. Such a great loss to family and friends who loved Danny all of his life, as well as others whom he knew
through his music.I remember him playing drums at a very young age with his family,Mom, Dad and brother on guitars-they all had beautiful voices and enjoyed entertaining in their home long before the boys were grown. He sang Amazing Grace at many gravesides and will be missed forever.
Rest in peace ,sweet cousin.~ God bless you forever. Love, Rosie Delano

I would like to send our condolences to Irma, and the Torres family, and to the rest of the Torres relatives and friends from my wife, Diane, and myself. I was very sad to find out Danny had passed, but I rejoice in knowing he is with other family and friends who passed before him. Just knowing he is with them, and God in heaven makes me feel better. Danny always had a big smile for everyone, and I loved his singing, especially the "Hallelujah" in mass at San Salvador Mission in Piru. He will be missed. May he rest in peace in the loving arms of our Lord. Steven M. and Diane Alcocer

We were very saddened to hear about Danny's passing. Our heart goes out to His entire family. We were certainly blessed to have known him and to have listened and danced to his music. Danny had so many talents, but the best one was "he made you feel special whenever you had the pleasure of visiting with him". He had such a great sense of humor, a love of life and the love and pride in his family. We shall miss Danny, but he will never will be forgotten.
Rest In Peace my friend for heaven has gained another angel in you
