Support for Daniel Cantors Legacy

Hello everyone, my name is Braycee Sobley. This past Saturday, 5/25/24, my best friend and the father of my son, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. His name was Daniel Cantor. I want to take a moment and share some things about him, and some of my favorite photos.

Daniel Aaron Cantor, was born August 16th, 1990. He was 33 years young, and leaves behind a bright handsome two year old little boy. Through medical issues, it took us almost 6 years to have our miracle boy. Daniel wanted to be a Dad more than anything in life, it was something we bonded over when we first met. I will never forget the day we heard Asher’s heart beat for the first time, he held my hand and cried the happiest tears I’ve ever seen. He looked at me and said, “We did it, we actually did it. We’re going to be parents!”

Watching Asher grow, and their bond strengthen was a true joy and blessing in my life. The love he had for our boy is immeasurable. Everyday we would talk about how smart and silly he is, and how he’s the perfect combination of us both.

To know Daniel, was to know kindness, loyalty, love and safety. He was a giant man, with a loving heart. He cared so deeply about his friends and family. I heard so many stories these past few days of first hand accounts on how Daniel impacted their life, and how he was always the first one to make someone feel better. He was a big goofball, something I’m happy my son shares with him.

He loved football, it was a very big part of his life. He played in highschool, coached for awhile, and watched many high school, college and NFL games with his Dad, his rock in life. Their bond was very close, and they hardly spent a day apart.

As I said before, he passed away suddenly and we are all beyond devastated. I miss him more than I can put into words, and our son is too young to understand everything going on. I am asking for help for services and help with childcare for awhile, while I figure out how to rearrange our lives. This is a pain and a loss I have never experienced, help from the community would ease a lot of stress during this time. Anything helps, and I appreciate everyone who made it this far. Thank you for your time, and any help you can do. Even sharing would help. I appreciate everything. I don’t know when services will be held, the date is a placeholder for now.

I want to leave this on a post Daniel made last year on his birthday;

“No matter how hard today can be, how lonely I may be, how much pain I am in, no matter how exhausted I may be, hurt I may feel, how unhappy I may, or how much I am struggling as long as I have you I can get through it all. With my world constantly crumbling, after losing so many that mean so much to me. I still have you. You keep me going, you keep me strong even when I’m at my weakest. I love you with everything I have. I am thankful every second for the miracle that brought you to us. I will never stop an I will never give up. I love you Asherboy”
