Francesca said: I've known Danio since I was born. He was my next-door neighbour and would baby-sit my brothers and I. He was born with a gift and that was evident at such a young age. I remember looking at his sketches and being in awe of his designs. We always knew he was destined for greatest. He was immensely talented and passionate about his craft. Most importantly he was a wonderful person. I'm honoured to have known him.

John Frangella said: Danio was an amazing person who was given a gift from GOD. His talent could only be surpassed by his love for life. I can honestly say that Danio knew this in is heart and never waisted a single moment. He was an inspiraton to those that knew him, A Mentor to those who wished to learn from him, a visionary, but most of all He was a Loving son and brother to Riccardo and Amelia , Sandra and Gianni.
Danio wanted to leave his mark on the world to which I know he did.

I Don't know of a more gental soul that roamed the earth .

I Can say all this, because I knew Danio VERY WELL. I had the Honor of being his brother for 34 years

We Love you Danio

Your Brother

Salvina Capolongo-Ciarleglio said: RIP my Long Lost friend. We had many years together mapping out our design dreams. We partied it up in NYC and In the T.O. I was so excited to see you again on this show. You were going to kick everyones ass. I said to my hubby "that's the Danio I know". You were always in my heart. I still have the letters and drawings you gave me and I will always have your pics. You knew how to cheer me up and wished I was there for you. R.I.P my friend.

LeeAnn said: From the start of the show, he was my favorite contender and knew without a doubt he would make it right to the end. When he had to leave the show, it broke my heart with heavy sadness knowing he would no longer be on the show, tho I hoped one day to see his fashions plastered in all the fashion magazines and hopefully join the show once again when his health picked up. Now, very heartbroken to hear of his passing, Gianni, please pass on my condolences to your family and friends. My heart goes out to you all. Danio, now you are with my mom and dad, do me one huge favor, fit them in great fashions we all know you could do with your eyes closed. With respect and admiration, I will miss you greatly, and please rest in peace, now free from worry and pain. You are finally home. :(

Salvina Capolongo-Ciarleglio said: We travelled to NYC and we had a blast. We partied at clubs in T.O. You lined up with me to buy concert tickets at the Gardens. We had classes together. You were a good friend. I will remember your never ending smiles and laughter. Your 6 inch platform shoes, bell bottom jeans, many necklaces with crosses on them and your beautiful curly hair. I will miss you and I will always remember you with all your drawings, pics and letters you gave me, after 13 years I still have. God bless my friend. You will always be in my heart!

Cathy (Windsor , Ontario) said: I've known Danio for 12 years and he truely left his mark on earth. His big sister and I are best friends, Godmother to my children and she has the biggest heart, just like Danio. Danio was extremely talented in his work and would have been "Project Runway Canada's Winner" hands down! His designs were amazing and fun. They made u WoW and smile at the same time. If he joked with u it simply meant that he liked u! He was funny and a wonderful person and he touched the heart of everyone he know. He is a "Guardian Angel" watching from above! It was an honour just to know Danio and will always be missed but never forgotten! God Bless Danio and the family during this time!
