Danielle Nichole Stilwell

Danielle Nichole Stilwell, passed away on August 18, 2025, in her hometown of Lakeland, Florida. Born on September 12, 1997, to Brenda Soper and Gabriel Murillo, Danielle's vibrant and loving spirit brightened the lives of all who knew her.

She is survived by her beloved son, Vincent Nicholas Stilwell, who was the light of her life. Her grandparents, Milton and Carolyn Stilwell, and her siblings, William Soper, Joshua Soper, Gabriel Murillo Jr., Joanna Murillo, Luis Alberto Murillo, and Alejandro Murillo will always remember Danielle for her boundless energy and loving nature. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Jeronimo Murillo.

Danielle was a true artist at heart, with a natural gift for turning everyday moments into something beautiful. Her passion for makeup, hair, nails, and eyelashes went beyond simple interest—it was a vibrant expression of who she was. Always creating, her hands were constantly at work, whether she was drawing or crafting. Her creativity left a lasting impression on everything she touched.

Danielle's two dogs, Ready and Meklo, were her faithful companions, sharing in her everyday adventures and providing comfort and laughter. Her love for animals was a testament to her compassionate and nurturing soul.

Music was another of Danielle's passions, and she could often be found tuned into her favorite radio station, 93.3, humming along to the latest hits or discovering new tunes that spoke to her heart.

Those who knew Danielle will remember her as a loving mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her creative spirit and ability to see beauty in the mundane will continue to inspire those she has left behind. Her laughter, which once filled the rooms, will echo in the memories of her loved ones, reminding them of the joy she brought into their lives.

Danielle’s life was a tapestry of meaningful relationships and shared experiences, each thread woven with care and affection. Danielle's presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever be a guiding light to those she loved.
