Descansa em Paz Tio Daniel.

Love you and miss you, Daniel. Rest in peace my dear cousin.

I want to take a moment to honor the life of someone who left a quiet but lasting imprint on mine. Daniel was my guide during my time as a fellow with the Atlantis Project in Ponta Delgada. He wasn’t just informative—he was deeply kind. The kind of kind that doesn’t ask for recognition, but offers it anyway. He made a faraway place feel familiar. He offered calm in the unknown. And he gave so generously of his time and heart. His presence taught me that sometimes the people we meet only briefly can impact us in the most profound and enduring ways. I’ll always be grateful for the peace, humor, and insight Daniel shared. May his spirit continue to shine over the Azores he loved so much. May he rest in deep peace. I believe God places certain souls in our path as divine appointments—brief encounters with eternal meaning. Daniel was one of those souls. I trust that he has returned to God, embraced in perfect love and light. Though he is no longer here in body, his spirit lives on in every kind word, in the beauty of the islands, and in the legacy of peace he carried. You were a blessing.

Sentidos pêsames a toda a família nestes momentos dificeis. Queria me vir visitar este verão e agora não vai acontecer. Paz à sua alma
