"Gianno is a big brother that works hard every day. He gets up every day trying to make it — not just for himself — but being a role model for his family. He makes money. He supports his family. You have to have someone like Gianno that's going to support their families," Ford told Fox News Digital. "And I think he will turn his pain into purpose and be a bigger support for many more people. So, Christians's death will really embolden Gianno and his efforts to help these communities."
Ford, a longtime friend of Caldwell's, added that "one of the reasons why Gianno works so hard is because he wanted to move his family out of poverty."
