The White House Shares Heartbreaking Health Update On DJ Daniel
The White House has issued a heavy-hearted update on **DJ Daniel**, the young warrior from Texas who captured the nation’s heart earlier this year. DJ—who has been battling terminal brain and spinal cancer since 2018—is now fighting **three new tumors**, on top of everything he’s already endured.

In a statement posted to X, the White House shared:
“We’re lifting up Agent DJ Daniel in prayer after his dad, Theodis, shared that DJ is now facing three new tumors. DJ is one of the strongest, bravest young men—and has now been sworn into 1,351 law enforcement agencies across the country.”
They closed the message with sweet words to the young officer:
“Agent Daniel, you’re a true legend.”
At only 13 years old, DJ has survived 13 brain surgeries, defied every expectation from doctors, and continues to push forward. Back in 2018, when DJ was first diagnosed, he was given just five months to live. Yet, here we are—six years later—witnessing the strength of someone who refuses to give up.
DJ Daniel’s Lifelong Dream Came True With Support From Law Enforcement And The Secret Service
For years, this young boy has expressed one dream: becoming a police officer. That dream became bigger than life when he was recognized by more than 1,300 law enforcement agencies across the U.S.
Former President Donald Trump helped take that dream even further earlier this year, announcing that DJ would be made an honorary Secret Service agent.
Trump said at the time:
“The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.”
And then came the moment that brought tears to many eyes across the country:
“And tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States.”
That title wasn’t just symbolic—it’s now a part of DJ Daniel’s incredible journey. His story touched millions, showing what happens when love, purpose, and community support align.
