Daniel Marquez Bueno

With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life well-lived, the family of Daniel Marquez Bueno, announces the passing of the man who was known to many as a devoted father, loving husband, generous philanthropist and respected businessman. Danny passed away peacefully on April 11, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones at the age of 82 years old. Danny was born on February 8, 1943 to Carmen and John Bueno of Cutler, CA. He resided in central California all of his life, planting roots in Visalia with his wife, Rose, of 59 years. He will be greatly missed by his children and their spouses: Laurie (Eddie) Zuniga, Randy (Rhonda) Bueno, Danny Jr. (Pammy) Bueno, Lisa (Greg) Loverin, Jessica (Jacob) Yavasile, Andrea (Art) Alvarez; also his 14 grandchildren, his 3 step-grandchildren, and his 7 great-grandchildren. Danny grew up in very humble circumstances in the small town of Cutler. Being one of 7 children, he was raised to work hard to make ends meet and began working in the fields at a very young age. When he wasn't attending school, working, or causing mischief, he was playing sports, namely basketball and baseball. He enlisted in the Army National Guard from 1964 to 1970. He married the great love of his life, Rosalvina Quintana Bueno, on September 11, 1965. During this time, he was employed at Moore Business Forms as a Pressman/Supervisor. He eventually went on to work for his older brother, Eddie, at Empire Supply for 5 years, which allowed him to coach his sons in Little League and soccer. On his 40th birthday in 1983 he took a leap of faith and accepted a Supervisor position at the local Anheuser-Busch distributorship. Knowing next to nothing about the beverage industry, he worked tirelessly to learn the intricacies of the business. His dedication was noticed by the new owner and he was promoted to Vice President of Sequoia Beverage Co. nine months after being hired, while simultaneously becoming part owner. In 2005, Danny and Rose acquired one hundred percent of the business and aptly changed its DBA to Bueno Beverage Company, in 2015. Throughout his life Danny quietly and consistently gave back to the community that meant so much to him. His philanthropic work touched countless lives-from funding local programs, supporting families in need, and very dear to his heart the construction of St. Charles Catholic Church. Danny was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, called Inclusion Body Myositis in 2008. The condition is a slow-processing muscle-deteriorating disease which slowed down his physical mobility, but never his mental aptitude. His unwavering love for God and all His Glory was evident in the last moments of his life. Danny's warmth, wisdom, and deep love for others will remain a lasting legacy carried on by all who were blessed to know him for generations to come. The family invites all who would like to show their support and love for him to his funeral services on the below dates and times: Viewing will be held 4 PM - 6 PM Wednesday, April 30th, 2025 at Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel, 127 E.
