Help us raise funds for Emilio Danny Meza

In Loving Memory of Emilio Danny Meza

Hello everyone, my name is Jon — also known as Danny’s little brother.

It breaks my heart to share that we recently lost an incredible soul. Emilio Danny Meza wasn’t just my big brother — he was a true artist, a generous spirit, a devoted son, and one of the most talented people our city has ever known.

Danny was a monumental figure in the Santa Barbara art scene, a pioneer in the mural community, and a Santa Barbara legend in every sense. His art brightened our streets, and his presence brightened our lives. If you ever had the blessing of crossing paths with Danny, you were probably met with a warm smile, a good joke, or maybe even a song. That was just who he was — full of life, love, and laughter.

He is survived by his loving mother Mariluz Meza, his sister Bella Meza, and me, his brother Jon Hernandez. His loss leaves a huge hole in our hearts, but his spirit will live on forever in the walls he painted and the people he touched.

We are raising funds to help with funeral and service costs during this incredibly difficult time. Any amount you’re able to contribute means the world to our family. Your support, love, and kindness are deeply appreciated.

Rest in peace, our beloved angel —

Emilio Danny Meza

Your legacy, your light, and your love will never be forgotten.
