GekiDan Passed Away at 25

In line with the previous post, a sad news to everyone who views and watches this website... My brother Daniel known as GekiDan, passed away at 1:45AM this morning. It was already expected that this day will arrive.

As for everyone's knowledge, my brother was diagnosed with Centronuclear Myopathy since he was 4 years old. It is a condition wherein the muscle cells were not fully developed and tends to weaken and turned smaller as the patient grows up. It is a one in a million case and still has no cure. According to medical researches, only 50 families with a member having the same condition were recorded.

In my brother's case, he stopped walking when he was 5. And his health deteriorates as he grew older. But still, he finished elementary and high school in a normal school as a normal student. He graduated two courses in college, Cartooning and Web Page Designing through a homestudy program with excellent grades. He was able to enjoy his life to its fullest as he meets new friends in and out of the net. He's good friends with Henshin Justice Unlimited people but wasn't able to see them for he passed away earlier the day that we should meet for the last time we gathered up was when we watched Gatchaman on cinema together.

For the past few days, he feels weak and usually got headaches or felt dizziness in which we thought that the complications of his disease started.. He was confined last Friday, December 27th at San Lorenzo Hospital and was transferred yesterday at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute yesterday afternoon. Also, he was blessed by Fr. Charlie, a priest for Sacred Heart Village together with Sr. Nona Parra, a Carmelite nun before he was transferred. We thought that he's been doing fine when he was transferrred but we really do think that he himself doesn't want anymore sufferings and he doesn't want us to see him like that anymore. He left us without saying anything; he just slept and with that, he died early morning of December 30th 2013 at the age of 25.

Kuya Dan, all in all, is a great son, brother and friend. He thinks of others before himself most of the time. He has become a breadwinner of the family. He supported me financially during my last two years in college and when I started my home study program in Comprehensive Art. He also provided us with a brand new car. He worked so hard for us and now it's our turn to return the favor and pay everything forward.

And as a contributor in JEFusion, I plan to continue working with it. This website has done a lot for us... I promise to study everything about the blog and continue.

I'll just inform everyone on where would be the wake. Thank you for being a part of his wonderful and fruitful life!
