Daniel Gorkey's wife died tragically at the age of 27 during a surgery for her congenital heart condition. Shortly after she had died, Daniel auditioned for American Idol. His wife had previously encouraged him to audition for the show.
Daniel Gorkey is quoted saying, "What I want to portray to people is to look inside themselves and to find strength. My wife had a heart condition her whole entire life, endured two surgeries when she was younger. She went through this third surgery that she didn't live through. But my wife, she didn't live life like she had a condition. She didn't let any limitations be put on her life. That's what I think about when I sing. I have such a passion to tell people, 'Get up, get out of your situation that has brought a lot of heartache to you and move on, move forward.'"
It is pretty hard not to like this guy. Check him out below singing Hero.
