Joe Gundha's tragedy could have been avoided if only Eli Sunday had spent more time with him, and/or had properly blessed the well. What alternative paths could have taken place? Presumably, God had a destiny for everyone, and it was Gundha's to die the way he did. Presumably, he went to heaven for being a man of considerable faith; that being said, it is unlikely he would have made the journey if it hadn't been for the Third Revelation (Daniel Plainview) taking charge, asking his crew to clean him up, put some clothes on him, and set up a tent -- and setting up his burial for noon the next day.
Joe Gundha helped illustrate the kindness in Daniel Plainview, and also helped Eli exercise some of his calling duty by presiding over the funeral and ensuring that Joe's possessions made their way back to his family.
Discuss: why doesn't Eli's supposedly good acts here absolve him from being the afterbirth?
