Daniel Brady was one of the most generous and goofy people I knew. He was always making people laugh, and he loved to be goofy. He was a super talented WoW gamer. He was well known and loved throughout the gaming community. At the end of December, Daniel got sick with covid. On January 6th, he was admitted to the hospital with covid pneumonia. On January 8th, he was transferred to ICU. Not only did he have covid pneumonia, he had 4 other bacterial infections in his lungs. By this point, he had lost 76 pounds. The following week, the hospital placed him on the ventilator. This week was looking really hopeful. His vent settings were turned down and he was maintaining a good oxygen level. The latest respiratory culture showed that his lungs were free from the bacterial infections. What we didn't know was that the infections had went into his bloodstream instead. On the night of January 20th, we were called to the hospital. Once we got there, they told us his body had turned septic and that he wasn't doing good at all. His blood pressure was dropping  and nothing would bring it back up. The hospital told us that they were out of options and our only solution was a miracle. Throughout the night, his blood pressure continued to drop. I even asked the hospital if a blood transfusion would help and I told them I would gladly donate. They said at that point, his blood was so thin from all fluids they had given him and a transfusion wouldn't help. At 5:48am on January 21, my baby brother took his last breath. We are absolutely devasated about the passing of our baby brother. And with our mom just getting out of hospital on Monday from a 2 week stay with covid, finances are tight.

 

We met with the funeral home today. Due to all of the fluid the hospital pumped him with, he has to be in a larger casket. Daniel didn't have life insurance because he was never sick and never went to the doctor. Therefore, we are having to pay out of pocket for the funeral and the funeral home doesn't do financing. We have had many people ask how they can donate to help with the cost of his funeral. This was the easiest way to do that. Please consider donating if you are able to. We are thankful for each donation during this time.
