This is a post from his sister amy via gekidan's profile
"First of all, this is Amidel a.k.a. Nene/Magnum (whatever people calls me) of JEFusion.
A sad news to everyone who views and watches this account... 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 4 years old. It is a condition wherein the muscle cells were not fully developed and tends to weaken and turned smaller as he grows up. It is a one in a million case and still has no cure. According to the medical researches, only 50 families with a member having the same condition were recorded.
For the past few days, he feels week 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.
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!"
I saw this on FB earlier. I remember GekiDan's posts here always being humorous and pleasant, and I know he put a lot of heart into JEFusion. I wish I'd known him a little better than I did. I'm certain there are family and friends that will miss him very greatly. Goodbye and rest well, GekiDan.
