It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved, Dakarai Clayton Griffin who left us on Thursday, March 14, 2024. He was 44 years old. Karai, Dee, Dak, Vaquero, as he was fondly called by friends and family, was born on August 16, 1979 to Calvin and Dorothy Griffin in Tucson, Arizona.

Dakarai is survived by his parents, his sister Jamila Griffin, his children Darius, Devin, Dakarai “Angel” Jr., Damarion Griffin, Desirae Galindo De La Cruz, Jazmine De La Cruz and Justine De La Cruz, his grandchildren, Amira Griffin, Arykah Pryor, Jaime Luna Jr. and Dahlia Luna; his nephews, Shomari Griffin, Jabari Wheeler and Marcellus Butler.

Dakarai was a devoted father and grandfather. He enjoyed riding his customized motorcycle and truck. You would often find him riding with his motorcycle family or visiting car shows with other auto and truck enthusiasts. He had an infectious smile and loved to help others. We will all miss his laugh, those dance moves, his pictures and videos uploaded to all his social media platforms everyday. Awwrreeddy!
