SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 571
|
|
|
|
In Memory |
|
of |
|
Daniel San Miguel |
|
|
WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the loss of Daniel |
|
A. San Miguel, who passed away on April 28, 2021, at the age of |
|
64; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Isabel "Belle" Aguilar and Daniel San |
|
Miguel Jr., Dan San Miguel was born on May 25, 1956; he grew up |
|
with the companionship of his older sister, Leticia, and three |
|
younger siblings, Annabelle, Rosanne, and Roland, as well as four |
|
first cousins, Gloria, Robert, Sylvia, and Cynthia, who lived |
|
nearby; they all attended the same schools and church and |
|
participated in the same activities; in addition, he was blessed |
|
with the affection of his grandparents, Roy and Lupita Aguilar |
|
and Daniel and Velia San Miguel, and his maternal aunts and |
|
uncles, especially World War II veteran Nicolas Estrada; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. San Miguel excelled in baseball, football, |
|
and track during his youth, and he worked as the delivery boy for |
|
the family drugstore, La Botica Guadalupana, located in what is |
|
now Market Square, where he benefited from the kind guidance of |
|
his paternal uncle, Robert, who managed the store; after |
|
graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School, he followed in his |
|
father's footsteps, enlisting in the U.S. Army, and he later |
|
embarked on a career in auto sales; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. San Miguel was joined in marriage with the |
|
former Amada Montalvo, and they became the proud parents of |
|
twins, Adriana and Daniel; the couple shared a rewarding |
|
relationship until Amada's untimely passing; on dark days and in |
|
moments of sorrow, Mr. San Miguel was supported by the love and |
|
encouragement of his large extended family, including his aunt, |
|
Mary Lou, and his stepmother, Barbara San Miguel; in turn, he was |
|
frequently the first to comfort others who suffered a loss; he |
|
was very devoted to his mother, and he took enormous delight in |
|
every family celebration; to his adoring nieces and nephews and |
|
their children, he was "Uncle Buddy"; later in life, he was |
|
overjoyed to learn that he had another daughter, Angela, whom he |
|
met for the first time in her teen years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Dan San Miguel is deeply missed by those |
|
he left behind, they will treasure their memories of his ready |
|
smile, his profound compassion, and his tremendous dedication to |
|
his loved ones; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Daniel A. San |
|
Miguel and extend sincere condolences to the members of his |
|
family: to his mother, Isabel Aguilar; to his stepfather, Juan |
|
Ortiz; to his stepmother, Barbara San Miguel; to his children, |
|
Adriana San Miguel, Daniel San Miguel, and Angela Alcantara and |
|
to his grandchildren; to his siblings, Leticia Van de Putte and |
|
her husband, Pete, Annabelle Garcia and her husband, Orlando, |
|
Rosanne Valenzuela and her husband, John, and Roland San Miguel |
|
and his wife, Cindy; to his many nieces and nephews and their |
|
spouses and children; and to his other relatives and friends; |
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns |
|
this day, it do so in memory of Dan San Miguel. |
