Dan Venegas Garcia was known for his faith, his light-up-the-room smiles, his unforgettable hugs, his father/friend/brother heart, and his deep, faithful love for his family and especially for his beautiful young wife, Gladys.

Gladys says, "Dan and I loved going to state parks and spending time in nature together. I'd like for people to know that the funds will be donated to Minnesota State Parks in his honor".

The world is a better place today because Dan Venegas was here. Thank you, Dan, for your life and love, thank you for giving us such a beautiful, tangible example of your heavenly Father's heart. Words cannot describe what a treasure of a person you were, or how much it hurts to know that you are gone. Thank you, Lord, for this irreplaceable gift of a brother and friend; please give him a huge hug for all of us.
