Harlingen, TX -

Juan Daniel (Danny) Rubalcaba, 62, went to be with our Lord on Friday, January 15, 2016, at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen, Texas. He was born in Raymondville, Texas on April 1, 1953 to Rafael and Ausencia Rubalcaba. Danny was an educator for over 30 years in the Raymondville, San Benito, and Santa Rosa school districts. He was a graduate of Texas A&I University and also attended Texas Pan American University.

Danny had a tremendous sense of humor. He brightened every home he was in and put a smile and laugh in everyone he came into contact with. His family top 10 were the prize for everyone. He was our family's St. Nick, always leaving gifts at Christmas time and on birthdays, then calling to let us know where our gifts were. He was a grateful son who visited his mother every Wednesday. He is missed dearly by all of us.

He is preceded in death by his father, Rafael Rubalcaba; brother, Cosme Rubalcaba; and step-daughter, Lorraine Rodriguez.

Danny is survived by his wife, Gloria G. Rubalcaba; step-daughters, Loretta and Kathi; step-son, James; 4 grandsons, Robby, Jacob, Noah, and Zachary; 6 great-grandchildren; mother, Ausencia Rubalcaba; brothers, George (Belinda), Victor, Rafael Jr. (Alvina), and Armando (Yesenia); and several nephews and nieces.
