Departed: 03/07/2024 (Denver)

Obituary Preview: Celebration of Life Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 1:00pm Romero’s Funeral Home

4750 Tejon St. Denver, Colorado 80211

“When my life on Earth is done, I know you will be sad. For you will miss the body, That once my spirit clad. But look at this thru my eyes, and maybe you will see. There is no need for sadness, for love is surrounding me.

I am here with God in heaven. No pain, no hurt, just joy. Beauty that I cannot describe, and man cannot destroy. For all of us have purpose. Our souls are meant to grow. We teach, we learn, we suffer and then it's time to go. You may not comprehend it, but soon I hope you see that this is how God planned it. We are where we are meant to be. And when your earthly journey is finally at an end, you and I will come to be together once again.”

Susan, age 73, adoring wife to Jose Luis Garcia, passed away peacefully in her home on Thursday March 7, 2024. Susan was born in Trinidad, Colorado on July 1, 1950, to Jo Amadeo Gonzales and Mary Suzie Gonzales (Martinez). She was the youngest of 5 siblings, Victor Gonzales, Madelyn Eubanks, Evelyn Valdez, and Gloria Gonzales. Unfortunately, her parents and siblings preceded her in death.

She was previously married to Jose A. Fernandez and had 6 beautiful children, Daniel Gonzales, Deana Gonzales, Maria Lara, Darlene Fernandez, Ilda Fernandez, and Jose Fernandez. Sadly, her husband Jose passed on August 27, 1986, leaving her as the matriarch of a large family with 25 grandchildren and 51 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by 3 grandchildren, Clarissa Fernandez, Valeria Fernandez, and Adalberto Jaquez Jr. She selflessly dedicated her life to her friends and family, which is where she felt most comfortable and loved. She thrived on being funny and sharing her words of wisdom to all who needed her.

We know that God is pleased to have one of His kind and generous angels back in his arms, where she belongs. She will be sorely missed by those on earth. "You can cry because I'm gone, or you can smile because I lived. You can close your eyes and pray for me to come back, or you can open them and see everything I've left for you. Your heart can be empty because you can't see me, or it can be full of all the love that we shared. You can cry, close off, feel nothing, and turn your back, or you can do as I wish; For you to smile, open your eyes, love, be strong and continue to live."

Obituary Preview: Celebration of Life

Dan Jordán Terrazas, 71, departed from this earth on February 5, 2024 after a month’s long battle at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, Colorado.

Dan was born on December 26, 1952 in Delta, Colorado to Daniel and Elvira (Terrazas) Jordán. The family moved to Denver a few years later. They settled in Englewood, CO. where he graduated from Englewood High in 1971.

Dan (D.J.) pursued a career with the railroad in 1974, beginning with the Rio Grande Railroad, then the Southern Pacific Lines Railroad and finally, retiring from the Union Pacific Railroad after putting in almost 40 years with the transportation department. He started out as a mechanical laborer and retired as a driver, picking up/dropping off crews all over Colorado. He received many awards of appreciation for his hard work and safety. He became great friends with many of his co-workers over the years.

In 1982, he married Juanita Toole, the “one and only” love of his life as he would always say. Together, they had three children, Desireé (39), Olivia (37) and Augustin (31). His interests included playing pool, playing cards and taking your money! He loved gardening, spending time with family and cooking, which he was great at! He loved music, was a great dancer, and enjoyed reading. He would always say he knew a lot of useless information but he could easily talk to anybody about anything. He was a very social person who enjoyed watching all sports, but especially loved watching the Denver Broncos win!

Danny is survived by his children; Desireé Terrazas, Olivia (Alex) Linnabary, Augustin (Norma) Terrazas, six grandchildren; Damien, Alfonzo, Isaac, Alexia, Ariana and Adalynn. His two sisters; Yolanda Jordán and Aracely Ruybal and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Daniel and Vera Jordán, plus many aunts, uncles and cousins.

He will forever be in his family’s hearts and missed very much every day. !Orale!
