Bob Proctor
Bob Proctor
Bob was a long-time mentor of Daniel and an important figure in his professional career and overalls life. Daniel and Bob first came into contact through a reading budding program at the Tennyson Center. While Dan was living at the Tennyson Center (at the time of his ongoing custody battle), he had the opportunity to attend a reading buddy program once a week. Dan reports that him and Bob really hit it off, enough so that the Tennyson center permitted them to have a relationship outside of their program. Dan's grandmother Nancy Shimer and Bob developed a friendship, seemingly platonic according to Dan, where they'd play board games and spend time together.[1] After her passing, Bob served as somewhat of a patron for Daniel, paying for the production of his first and most famous song, Roaring Thunder, as well as Something More. Bob has also paid for some of Daniel’s food and travel expenses, but Daniel has done nothing but take his generosity for granted by frequently getting into arguments with him, publicly throwing him under the bus for his own problems, and even gambling away 400 dollars that Bob gave him to feed himself.
Fight Incident
On July 9th 2022, Daniel Larson posted a series of cryptic videos claiming that he and Bob had gotten into a physical altercation outside a movie theater that resulted in extensive damage of Bob's car.
Daniel Later claimed that Bob had drove away from Denver, and was heading south away from Colorado. He also claimed that Bob was selling his residence in Denver and moving out of the Denver Area, though it is uncertain how true these claims are.
Daniel Blamed his "fans" for the fight, claiming that people taking photos of them caused the fight, but there is no further proof these claims are true and the real cause of the incident is unknown.
After the Fight, Daniel posted a TikTok Video claiming that Bob was missing, he hadn't heard from him in days, and once again blaming the fans for the fight/disappearance. Although it seemed likely that Bob had for the near future cut off all contact with Daniel and was trying to distance himself away from him after the violent incident.

Daniel would end up fighting Bob yet again months later, this time the results would be a lot less favorable for Daniel. Ironically this incident also occurred in a movie theater parking lot. Because of this, Bob would end up flying Daniel out to Los Angeles for reasons which will likely be revealed in the coming days after the incident.
