Tahimik lang ang ilang gabing burol ng mga labi ni Danny Javier sa Heritage Memorial Park.
Pamilya at malalapit na kaibigan ang nakikiramay at nagbibigay ng eulogy sa namayapang lead vocalist ng APO Hiking Society.
Nobyembre 6, 2022, Linggo, nakatakda ang libing ni Danny.
Sa tanghali, magbibigay ng tribute ang All-Out Sundays, kung saan maghahandog ng awit sina Julie Anne San Jose, Rayver Cruz, Derrick Monasterio, at mga produkto ng The Clash na sina Jessica Villarubin, Jeremiah Tiangco, Mariane Osabel, Garret Bolden, Thea Astley, Sheeme Buenaobra, Anthony Rosaldo, Hannah Prescillas at Vilmark Viray.
Siyanga pala, maagpu-promote din sa AOS ang main cast ng Unica Hija na magsisimula na bukas, November 7, Lunes, sa afternoon drama.
Makiki-party sa AOS sina Kate Valdez, Faith Da Silva, at Mark Herras.
Maglalaro rin ang Unica Hija na si Kate sa "Tune Pak na Pak" na hinu-host nina Ken Chan at Rhian Ramos.
Makakasama niya si Kelvin Miranda kalaban sina Katrina Halili at Mark Herras.
Pero ang isang kaabang-abang ay ipapalabas na ang 2022 Christmas Station ID ng Kapuso Network.

Isa sa nagbigay ng eulogy sa yumaong si Danny Javier ay ang kapatid niyang si Dyords.
Umpisa pa lang, ang sabi niya na, “No sadness, because we had the best, most relaxed three years before his death, we had a chance to experience fully—Jimmy and I—we were present with Manong.”
Pinatugtog ni Dyords ang kantang "If I Could" na sana siya ang nagsulat at kumanta dahil iyon daw ang hiling ni Manong Danny niya sa kanya.
“Ayaw ng Manong ko na pinupuri siya. Mas ayaw na ayaw niya na may naaapi at naagrabiyado, yun ang tinutulungan niya,” lahad ni Dyords.
“Manong was not generous na kung may 100 pesos, magbibigay siya ng 10 or 20 pesos. He is charitable. Siya yung may 100 pesos, ibibigay niyang lahat yun pantulong sa nangangailangan.”
Pagwawakas ni Dyords, “I don’t want you to leave with heavy hearts. Let us leave with the joy that Danny left us with.
"Sana ang iuwi natin, ang sarap ng Manong ko! Bring home that love my Manong gave you, no sadness. Thank you very much.”
Heto naman ang naging pagpupugay kay Danny ng kanyang APO Girls na sina Lara Melissa de Leon, Bing Loyzaga, Agot Isidro, at Amy Perez:
"On behalf of the Sang Linggo NAPO Sila family, our sincerest condolences to the Javier’s, Danny’s children—Justine, Juliene, Jama, Jobim—and his siblings and family.
"Mahaba ring panahon ang pinagsamahan ng aming grupo. Others will be mentioning here all the wonderful contributions of Danny, not only to individuals but to many many, many Filipinos.
"We also had that great beautiful and wonderful experiences with Danny na naniniwala ako, he made great impact on everyone in our group.
"The time when we were still called Sa Linggo nAPO Sila, once a week pa lang kami, until it became an everyday show 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila, six times a week.
“I believe it was a total of 12 years that we were all together! Seeing each other on a daily basis.
“Sa araw-araw na pagsasama naming lahat in the ABS-CBN Compound, marami kaming natutunan sa isa’t isa.
“Kay Danny, who became our Kuya, Tatay, at natawag na rin namin silang mga Lolo.
“Si Danny, I considered as one of the problem solvers of the group. As Bing would say, Danny was a source of security to her, to many around him.
“One thing he would do is that, in a situation, he would first step back in a distance for a short while, parang an outside person looking in, evaluate things.
“Then and only then he will join in, coming from a big picture perspective looking in, analyzing the situation, and he will have some good solution to a problem.
“When we had a workshop, team building, we all went as a group to Batangas. I would always see him looking at the whole group, like evaluating, then at the end of the team building, meron na siyang kuwento on how each of us responded in every exercise in many situations.
"Kahit sa pinakasimpleng, ‘Melissa, laki pala ng muscle mo!’ or ‘Mamu, tapang mo pala!’ He was that.
"Many ups and downs we all witnessed. Ups would be like… I remember, as he comes to work, in our dressing room, he would be so excited, telling us stories about his family, his children and their many accomplishments in school, the stories of kalokohans which made Danny giggle and proud. At marami pang nakakatuwang istorya and he would tell these stories to many of us.
“And to the children of Danny, marami kaming na-witness na kuwentong ganon. Many nice stories of Trina [mother of Danny's kids], too, who became also part of the SLNS group.
“He was an encourager! Which helped in the dynamics of the group with regards to our individual work in the show and the show itself.
“I remember him telling me, ‘Melissa! Ganda ng timbre ng boses mo, alagaan mo iyan! Also, ikaw Melissa, kaya ka nandito, dahil sa mga mata mong iyan, e’ Duling? ‘Tantalizing eyes ka.’
“Si Amay [Amy]… ‘Amayyyyy!!! Ang galing mo mag-host!!! Dalang-dala mo mga tao.’
“Noong bagong dating si Agot sa grupo, pinangalanan niya si Agot ng Crush ng Bayan, and that became viral! Si Ariel din, di ba, Kilabot ng Kolehiyala.
“And, ‘Ang ganda-ganda mo, Bing! At gumaganda ka pa. Ang galing mong Nanay! That’s good, that’s good, Bing.’
“Sa work force ng show, sasabihin niya sa audio room… ‘Beck! OK ba ang pagkanta ko?’ ‘Ayos!’
“To others in the group, ‘Ang galing-galing ng ginawa ninyo dito sa segment na ito!’ sabay akbay.
“He would also give [advice] to many many of us when someone is going through some difficulties, may it be at work or personal. Like problems at home or some sort of heart issues.
“For Amay, meron siyang mga tanong na, ‘Ok ka ba?’ ‘May work ka ba?’ ‘Happy ka ba sa work mo?’ ‘Ok ba kayo ni Adi?’ Nag-iipon ka ba?’ ‘May utang ka ba?, 'Tapos pag happy siya sa sagot ni Amay, 'Iyan ang Amay ko!’
“This is an opportunity to be sharing Danny’s unique qualities, as well as the ripple effects of positivities, the change he created within the group and others outside ABS CBN.
“So thanks to Danny who took time, being selfless and thoughtful, so much care for the whole group. The learnings na hindi niya ipinagdamot!
“Kahit sa huling pagsasama natin dito, meron naman akong napapansin. We can talk about many things on who Danny is. But also, he blessed us with an opportunity to remember what God allowed in his life.
“All the ups and downs, God allowed for Danny to become who he is and who he became to others. Most of all who Danny became in the eyes of God.
“He was a work in progress for 70 plus years and finally God was done with him. He was a blessing in many ways and that is because God loved Danny, loves Danny, and will continue to love Danny in his life next...
“So girls… sabi nga ni Danny, ‘Group hug!’”
