Loving father, partner, son, grandson, brother, nephew and friend, Danny Cunniff passed away on Thursday, October 8, 2020 at the age of 26. Our hearts are broken by his sudden loss.
Danny is survived by his loving girlfriend Briana Ellyson, their sweet baby daughter Mya Cunniff, and Briana’s beautiful daughter Emily Pajnogac; his parents Murray and Cathleen Cunniff; three brothers Terence Cunniff, Ryan Cunniff and Patrick LeQuire; his grandmother Marie Cunniffe; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Danny was preceded in death by his grandparents, John P. Cunniffe II, Patrick J. O’Donnell and Mary E. O’Donnell.
Danny worked at Bellingham Cold Storage as a team lead forklift driver. He enjoyed spending time with Briana and the girls, family gatherings, hanging out with friends, eating Mexican food and watching the Seattle Seahawks.

Danny was my beloved nephew and I loved him dearly. He was sweet, kind and beautiful! I will miss his laugh and his quiet demeanor… I will never forget him telling me, the day his daughter was born; “this is the happiest day of my life, I didn’t know I could be this happy” – he was beaming. We shared countless birthdays, holidays and family gatherings and Danny always showed up with a big hug and a shy grin. I will always miss him, but know he is with me still, forever in my heart.

The photograph of Danny that graces this memorial was captured during on of the happiest days of his life- the birth of his daughter Mya. We all miss Danny and will find comfort in his memory.
