Daniels mentioned that he halted his job to take care of someone, but they both didn't anticipate that everything would happen so quickly.

He stated that Gelder was "the nicest, most openhanded and affectionate person".

He was an exceptional performer and his heart and positive energy impacted everyone who collaborated with him.

Honestly, I have no idea how I'll manage without him beside me. He handled his terrible illness so courageously and never once showed any signs of self-pity. He was truly remarkable and his absence will be deeply felt.
