  3. Danny Boy, I watched you come into this world and instantly fell in love with you. The song November Rain was playing and has always reminded me of you. I am now left devastated as I also watched you leave this world taking a piece of my heart with you💔

    I have many memories of you growing up from a beautiful brown eyed little boy who had the most gentle soft nature, to a handsome young man l have never seen you happier or proud than when you became a Dad of little Amelia❤️

    You always left your mark on anyone who met you, you now have left your mark in this world by giving a Christmas miracle to 5 people and their families.

    I rest a little easier knowing your with Pop Leo, Nana Elsh and Little Leah🤍

    Forever young, love you.

    Love Uncle Ro and Aunty Rell❤️

  4. Our Danny boy,

    The life of the party, wherever you went. I will cherish the memories we have together and keep them so close to my heart, forever.
    You were so beautiful, kind and caring to anyone that you spoke with, and you were the best Dad to Amelia and B.

    I am so very grateful to have called you my big cousin, but most of all I am so grateful and proud to call you one of my bestfriends.

    I am forever proud of you and I miss you so incredibly much already.

    Rest peacefully Dan, Nans got you.
    Forever, Your Bub Kayla xoxo

  7. Daniel, Dan, douché bag, bro, remi boi & my kwinanian 679!

    Our storey started when you found out your dad had a best mate the same age as you & you inboxed me on the 19th of August 2015 “ hey d dawgs bestie “
    & since then we were tight as thieves!
    We starved together, succeeded together, lived together, & together we were that annoying your dad grew grey hairs almost instant when we’d come back home from doing whatever it be. He would look at us laugh shake his head & say alright I’m off to bed HAHHA
    I’ll never forget you nearly wetting your pants when I pulled up & seen the neighbours pool breeding mozzies on a 36 degree day & the shit we spoke after that!
    From the 71727282525 drives just to listen to dribbles, thinking we were some underground rappers #679’s to me FaceTiming dribbles himself & you being like wow now I’ve lived HAHAHHA!!
    To us arguing the first night I arrive in Perth over the aux cord & that bloody cat of yours 😅
    To then having “welcome to my house, no mediocre or still in trouble” on repeat no matter what ( yes Dale I’ve reminded you of the top 3 songs that burnt your hearing out soz )
    Or me screaming cos we’re trapped fishing catching nothing at all out on these rocks in the middle of the OCEAN literally it wasn’t a beach!! An then bang we’re surrounded by massive I mean massive crabs & you & Ddawg see my face & Miks like ok she’s serious now let’s go & I still don’t no how or who was watching over us but we could of never made it back the rocks were getting closed in as we were running not even exaggerating either 😬 that was definitely the most my ass has ever fallen out my back pocket before HAHAH

    I’ll never forget you picking fights with your dad because he was my friend first 🤣
    from you making him late for work on purpose knowing his work boots where in the boot of your car to then him abusing you for a solid 3 mins & the only nasty thing he said was fuck you Dan ya fucking F****t & then off to work yous went lol.

    We both loved a good pokie sesh, you’d always remind me of the time you an Byron got caught wagging together which still spins me out lol, id aways drag your ass to Bunnings & you’d do anything just to sit in the car & wait but I’d never let you soz!
    I always made your playlists & all I can hear in my head is sis log me back in I need your music or sis what’s that song you played again?..
    I remember when you first moved back down to Moe you just randomly asking if I had a shed & im like yeah bro next thing you no you & your mate Nick are using it as a storage & I have no idea where anything come from or what happened alls I see is a whole house inside my shed just about set up 😂

    I’ll do anything to here your smart ass voice asking is my washing done yet bambi? What’s for tea? Can you lend me 20 till pay ?
    My all time favourite is when you were telling me about this chick & I swear I herd you call her wallet girl & that stuck ever since & still now I wonder where she is & what she’s doing HAHAHAHHA

    Near or far no matter what we always made sure to check in, every time was always random as hell god knows what hour of the day but that was always the best part, surprise!

    I’m so grateful you met Kate & seen the bigger picture of life because for a long time you were longing to feel loved & she loved you no matter what stage in life you were at, she showed you what life’s really about & she brang out the best version id seen of you. The family you created together is something I’d always love hearing you speak about! Just how proud you were an any time I asked you’d say I dunno how I got so lucky sis 🥹

    Time stops for nobody brother & im just so blessed I got to share so much over the years with you before your time was up 💔

    I promise to look after your family & always love & protect Jessie & Lil like my own little bro & sis & to make sure your dad stays as young as he feels to keep you laughing up there!

    10:36am yesterday is when I last got to give you a headache & speak to you even though you weren’t awake or could speak back I knew you’d be saying stop carrying on now sis! So I did just that my brother!

    Thanks for being my none dna blood brother, a down right migraine some days & an all time good laugh or a kick up the ass when I needed it most.
    Fly high, watch over us & shine bright my brother 💙😇

  8. RIP homie!! You never failed to bring laughter to a room, how I’m going to miss you every day, I could always count on you. Your silly sense of humor that had me in tears, your cheeky smile that you and I both new you were up to something, the “im in town lets catch up” that turned into being catching up for months until you’d finally decide to leave, the long car trips with me saying SLOW DOWN DAN every 2 minutes, your random Turns that would have us lost for hrs, the list goes on and on. Every adventure, every memory, every moment I’ll cherish forever. Such a kind, cherful, soild friend, Gone way to soon. Rest easy my homie xoxo

  12. Dan words cannot describe the void you have left. From the bear hugs to hey Uncle, it didn’t matter if it was 6 months or 6 days it always felt like it was yesterday.
    You had your ups and downs man but your heart was always in the right place. You’ve left behind a beautiful little girl and a young man that absolutely adored you.
    Give Nan a hug for us all mate, until next time

  14. Danno! Danno! Danno!
    The moment you walked into any room you had everyone in the palm of your hand with those flashing eyes, effervescent smile and that unique laugh.
    You never had a bad word to say about anyone. You treated everyone the same, with the same love and the same bear hug.
    Simply, you had the beautiful knack of lifting everybody’s spirits.
    What a joy it was for Nan and I to have you so much in our lives. You were the last person Nan spoke to, and sadly you will be the first she speaks to again.
    I will never forget the love you had for Nan and the beautiful purple rose in her memory on your chest.
    Bloody Nora man I will miss you at the the door saying, Gidday Pa, How are you! Then the bear hug.
    Rest easy Dan and give Nan one of your hugs from me.
    In the arms of our special one Danno.

  18. My condolences to Dan’s families.
    And Dan what can I say I’m still waiting for you to walk thru the door. I can’t stop thinking what if I messaged like I wanted to for you to come down and I know that’s not the way to look but my head is trying to come to terms while my heart is breaking making it hard to think and especially hard when I go out to my shed at night and 1 dragonfly will fly in and be flying around while I’m out there then fly out when I walk out 💔. I’m going to miss you, so much. Fly high Dan 💙
