Dante was widely regarded as a warm and sociable figure who relished meeting new people during his motorcycle journeys across the country.
His final post before the crash showed him tackling uneven terrain, with a caption reflecting on the difficulties such roads present to riders.
Dante Wheels' account posts from beyond
What made his passing even more startling for followers was what happened the next day.
On Thursday, October 15, a video appeared on his account showing him cruising along a tree-lined road while overtaking another motorbike.
In the clip, he appeared clearly taken by the other rider's handiwork on their exhaust system, writing:
"Never seen an exhaust like this 😂🔥. Vijana huku nje wako creative ajab."
Followers quickly realised the video had likely been scheduled in advance, published automatically after he had already passed away.
The discovery left many in pain.
