"My deepest condolences go out to the family. Daniel was a shy young man when I met him at CVS. I would always call out his so that he knew I was specifically talking to him and know that he was important and worthy to talk to while at work. I probably scared him most of time with my energetic voice, but I somehow felt that he appreciated that someone was recognizing him. He will be truly missed. Sincerely, Erika"
In loving memory of
Daniel Santos Cosavalente
November 16, 1987 - September 18, 2022
Daniel S. Cosavalente, 34, of Phoenix, passed away from brain cancer on Sunday September 18, 2022. Daniel was born on November 16, 1987 in Voorhees, New Jersey. He spent part of his childhood in Tampa Bay, Florida and Albuquerque, New Mexico, before his parents settled in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2001. He graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor's in Biology and later from University of Phoenix with an MBA. He married the love of his life, Lilia Rich, in 2013 and they started their life together in North Phoenix. He also joined CVS Health in 2013, diligently working his way up to Senior Compliance Analyst before his passing.
He battled brain cancer in 2016 and recovered well, able to enjoy nearly 6 years cancer-free, going on adventures with his wife and their two dogs. In 2021 they were blessed with a beautiful daughter. Daniel volunteered at his church and loved to encourage others in Christ. His sweet, resilient spirit is deeply missed.
Daniel is survived by his wife Lilia, their daughter Leila, his parents Daniel and Virginia Cosavalente, and his older sister Andrea Cosavalente.
