[KHTS] – Friends and family came together Thursday night to remember Nicole Danielson, 26, the woman found unresponsive in her Castaic home on Saturday morning, during a candlelight vigil in the Del Valle park in Castaic.

Danielson, nicknamed “Coco” by those who knew her, was remembered fondly as somebody who always saw the good in people and saw past any flaws they might have, said an attendee of the vigil.

“Coco was a really great person”, said Elijah Padilla, her brother-in-law. “Everybody was just so close to her.”

Danielson was found unresponsive by her husband, Robert Danielson, 29, in their home, and was taken to the hospital where she later died. She is survived by her two young children, ages 3 and 1.

“Coco was the sweetest, most giving individual. Her smile entered a room before she did, and her laughter filled every moment with joy,” according to a Go Fund Me page set up to help pay for Danielson’s funeral service. “She loved her family and friends, but most of all, her children were her life. She lived every moment to make them happy. She was a stay at home mom, dedicating herself to the wellbeing of her babies.”

Robert Danielson was arrested on Monday, Oct. 26 in relation to her death after a coroner ruled blunt force trauma as her cause of death.
A second vigil will be held outside the Danielson residence on Monday and a service will be held for her next Thursday at the Village Church in Newhall.

As well as the vigil and service, there will be a “Halloween Breakfast for a Cause” at the IHOP on Bouquet Canyon Rd. to raise funds for funeral costs and to support her children. The fundraiser will last from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
