LCpl Montano was serving with the 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division out of Camp Lejeune, NC at the time of his unfortunate passing. 

Daniel graduated from Sultana High School in 2023, proudly served in the Corps, and was dedicated to his country.  He is remembered as a devoted son and brother and deeply loved by his family.
