Family of Ryan Daniels mourn his death (WJXT)<\/p>\n
His cousin, Kenyonna Hill, struggled to make sense of the loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing should ever went that far for us to be sitting here having an interview about Ryan and his brother being the killer,\u201d Hill said. \u201cThat should have never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hill also reflected on the bond the two brothers once shared.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is his mother\u2019s son. They bathed together. They fought together. They ate together. It doesn\u2019t matter if they had prior altercations. It should never got this far. It should never went as far as it did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Loved by a Lot of People\u2019<\/p>\n
Those who knew Daniels described him as a quiet man with a warm presence. His sister, Tori Hill, remembered his smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was like a man of few words,\u201d Hill said. \u201cHe only said a few things but every time he did his smile was like \u2018ding.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Hill also wants people to know just how much her brother meant to those around him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he didn\u2019t think or if he didn\u2019t know, like he\u2019s really loved by a lot of people, a lot of people, and they all had wonderful things to say about him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniels leaves behind a daughter, who his family says was his pride and joy. His family is currently working on bringing his body back to New Jersey, where his relatives are based, for burial.<\/p>\n
The family has started a GoFundMe<\/a> page to cover the cost of transporting Daniels\u2019s body back to New Jersey. As of Thursday night, the page had raised just over $13,000. <\/p>\nCopyright 2026 by WJXT News4JAX – All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 A Jacksonville man\u2019s family is grieving after police say he was stabbed and killed by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-377132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
