Why wasn't it mentioned that Daniel worked as a DSP Worker? He was working with the developmental disability, I met Daniel when he was working with one of his clients where I live at. Daniel was an awesome guy who really cared alot for the ones around him. We all felt sorry for him because he was having to live in his car quite a bit. When we heard he had to be hospitalized due to problems with his leg or legs that's the last we heard about him until now which was a complete shock! I'm so sorry to hear of this news, he will definitely be missed around here. Fly high my Sweet Friend. God Bless.
