Daniel Cleofus

Meneses Olguin

Daniel Cleofus Meneses Olguin, 73, passed away August 8,2025. He was a beloved father, husband, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Daniel was born to Toby & Jova Olguin November 21,1951, in Sweetwater, Texas, where he spent his formative years. After attending Newman High School, Daniel married the love of his life, Connie Olguin on June 5,1969. Known for his dedication and strong work ethic, Daniel spent 25 years with the Santa Fe Railroad before retiring. His job took him on many travels, and he was always eager to share the stories of his adventures. One memorable story came from a trip to Fort Worth, Texas, where, after a long day of work, Daniel and his friends visited a bar near the Stockyards. There, a man sat next to him, and they spent the evening talking and having a few beers. As he stood to leave, the man said "you should stay for the band, they're about to start." Daniel stayed to listen, and years later, he saw that man on TV—none other than famous country singer, George Strait. Though he traveled for work Daniel loved coming home to his wife and children, he was always there to offer guidance, support, and encouragement, no matter what challenges they faced. In his free time Daniel enjoyed taking his family to the lake to fish and sip on ice-cold beers. Daniel is survived by his loving wife Connie Olguin of Sweetwater, his children, Joann Cano of Abilene, Denise Carrion and husband Jesse of Roby, Daniel Olguin Jr. and wife Patti of Sweetwater, Amanda Olguin of Sweetwater, seven grandchildren, Devin Carrion, Donovan Carrion, Jennika Carrion, Javier Olguin, Meghann Olguin, Nicolas Hernandez, nine great-grandchildren, Brayden Crain, Camden Carrion, Bentley Carrion, Scarlett Carrion, Jaxon Carrion, Daniel Escobedo, Evelynn Escobedo, Kalista Escobedo, Remelie Olguin, and his siblings, Ricardo Meneses Olguin, Odilia Arredondo. Daniel was preceded in death by his mother and father Toby and Jova Olguin, and his brother Benjamin Meneses.
