The gospel minister fell unconscious and was later confirmed dead. He was well and bubbly the night before.
A friend and confidante, Ace Ankomah who is a Legal practitioner said he met Danny when they were all trying to develop their talent for gospel music back in the day. They were friends together with the likes of Bright Davis and Zap Mallet.
But as fate would have it, Ace Ankomah a talented keyboardist, branched off into the legal profession, while Danny preserved his arguably uncharted territory of contemporary gospel.
Ace Ankomah now more popular in public life for his legal arguments than his gospel talent, reminisced that he probably should have taken up his love for gospel music into full-time ministry.
He expressed deep admiration for Danny Nettey for “exploiting his God-given talent to the furtherest”.
He said he often impressed upon Danny to step up his rehearsals despite his great talent.
“I used to quarrel with him that he had so much skill but didn’t rehearse enough..but what is there to rehearse. Danny was a complete musician”. According to Ace Ankomah, he was Danny’s manager for less than a year, helping him out with his contracts.
The last time he met Danny Nettey, they were on the same flight to Accra and although to promised to meet up one day, contact was reduced to communication on Whatsapp. Any chance to met Danny again would be in the afterlife.
On the personal level, he said despite his serious posture, Danny Nettey loved a good joke. “We would sit down and laugh and tease”, he said.
“It is a very big blow to the entire Christian world….he is irreplaceable”, the lawyer struggled for words.
