Daniel Gabriel “Dan” Gonzales, affectionately known to many as “Danny” or “Dan G,” passed away on May 3, 2025, in Chandler, at the age of 60.
Born on Oct. 30, 1964, in Winslow, Dan embraced his gift of being a true multi-talented craftsman. His hands were rarely still—he found joy and purpose in working on cars and bikes, fabricating trailers, and pursuing woodworking and welding projects. His dedication to hard work was matched by a generous nature; even after long days of labor, he was always willing to lend a helping hand.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife Michelle; sons, Jeremiah and Joshua; sister, Anita; brother, Chappo, and many other family and friends. He also carried in his heart the memory of those who passed before him: his parents. Bill and Fella; brother. Raulie; and beloved daughter, Jordan.
Dan’s legacy lives on through the family who survives him and the many lives he touched with his kindness, craftsmanship, and unwavering willingness to help others. Though he is no longer with us, his memory will live on in the hearts of all those who knew him.
