Danny graduated from Alamogordo High School and joined the US Navy soon after. He served in the Desert Storm/Desert Shield War. After his time in the Navy, he returned home to Alamogordo where he worked in communications and maintenance. He shortly settled down and had his three children. 

Danny was always a hard worker and willing to lend a hand however he could. He loved making people laugh and was great at making anyone feel welcomed. He was a jack of all trades. Danny was an amazing son, great brother, dependable friend, and loving dad and grandfather. Danny enjoyed spending time with friends and family, watching sports, and most of all, spending time with his grand babies. 

The Memorial Service for Danny will be held at 10:30 am, Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Mountain View Church in Alamogordo. He will be laid to rest with his father at Immaculate Conception Catholic Cemetery following the service.

The Salazar family has entrusted their loved one to the care of Alamogordo Funeral Home.
