Remembering
Heaven gained an angel when you left us.
You made us laugh everyday, you were so kind and gentle. I think of the babies in the family and how caring you were with them, you would hold them gently with such joy in your face.
You loved watching dvd’s, The Lion King, Supercar, Morecombe and Wise, to name a few.
You also liked listening to music, The Beatles and Elvis were your favourites and we loved singing along with you.
We are all so proud of you and so in awe of how you dealt with the challenges you faced. You were one in a million and we will miss you forever.
Rest In Peace, you are back in the loving arms of your mum and dad.
We love you

I remember watching you as I grew, a rolercoaster of emotions and excitement and loved by nanna beyond measure! I hope your now resting peacefully back in her loving arms, forever at peace.
Rest well uncle Dan ❤️ u
Dan so was completely loved by his family and had no idea the joy he brought, especially when flashing a mischievous smile. We are all so honoured to have known Dan, this incredible man that exceeded expectations and united family. May you forever be in peace xx
Not many people would say that they loved lockdown but I did, just me and you together for 3 months, it’s a time I treasure, lots of memories of us just chilling out, keeping each other company.
I was also lucky to have you with me on Christmas Days, how you loved Christmas, you would watch Jenni put up the tree’s for you, one in the living room and one in your bedroom. You used to love the twinkling of the lights, It was definitely your favourite time of year.
You noticed when someone did something nice for you and they would be rewarded with a kiss, hug or smile. You really were the best uncle and you are greatly missed
Until we meet again xx
Uncle Dan, though many years have passed since I last saw you as a boy, I’ll always remember those early times. Rest in peace. 🕊️
I thought you’d be here forever and never thought of a life without you. I still don’t believe it sometimes and then reality hits. I take comfort in knowing you and nanna are back together and play out the reunion in my head. I remember when you moved in with us over 20 years ago and some of my fondest memories from then are us singing Tom Jones classics. Not to mention hearing all about your antics whilst out in the community with day care and meeting true friends, such as Dom, who also thought so highly of you. Being out in a cafe and throwing your handkerchief and it landing in somebody’s soup is definitely up there in my favourites. You were a cheeky chappy, very loveable and admired by all that knew you. Not only have I been lucky enough to grow up with you around but Bradley too, in his younger days playing football with you and hours of fun playing with balloons. Memories that will stay with us forever. You are one of the best men I know and have taught me lots over the years. How to love with all my heart, fight with passion and to never give up, not to mention the odd swear words here and there. You were the glue to the family and meant so much to all of us. You are loved more than imaginable and will be greatly missed. Love you Dan. Jess, Maison, Brad and Elodie xxx
Rest in peace, Uncle Dan. 💛
I have lots of memories of us camping in Wales with gran and grandad in the tent, these were really special times for me and I enjoyed sharing them with you.
In more recent times me and Jen taking you for walks to the park on sunny days
RIP Dan xx
Well Dan 6 whole weeks today you decided it was your time to go and life’s not been the same since! That day was just like any other day, we had a nice drive out and walk around the park with Paul, I apologised “oh sorry love” to a guy for crossing a tight path with him while pushing you & you cheekily said after “no I’m not no” in true Dan fashion! I have so many memories with you and I’ve reminisced loads since you’ve been gone of times you’ve been cheeky and trying to throw us under the bus, once when your social worker came round asked you, do you like the carers who look after you? And you very firmly said NO haha!! You shouting at times or swearing and I’d call you a potty mouth or say eh stop that banging and you’d say “Mike” like it was Mikes doing, me and Mike would be belly laughing at you. I once called you “moody Margaret” and it stuck with you because anytime you was a little grumpy after that ud randomly just shout “Margaret” and I’d look at you and laugh and say yes that’s exactly who you’re being and ud give me half a smile. I wish you could of been here forever especially to watch how your bond with Caius would of grown because you were really taking a shine to him as he was you, you were great with all the kids and they really brought you happiness apart from that time Elodie walked past you crying very loud and you gave her a little slap (saved Jess doing it haha)… caius keeps looking at your pictures and saying awww Dan and kissing them which melts my heart. You really were so special to us all and I’m so privileged to have been able to look after you for these years and create the relationship we did. Touring wythenshawe these last few weeks haven’t been the same without you and I’m often walking down the road fighting back the tears when thinking about you (not always able to). I take comfort in being with you on your final day, knowing you wasn’t in any noticeable pain and the cuddles I got while we were waiting for the ambulance etc! Christmas will never be the same not being able to see the magic in your eyes watching me do your trees and you saying “Christmas” and “happy new year” right upto about march. This year we were going to keep some lights up for you because Julie got you some lovely colourful ones, I’m sorry we never because had I known you wouldn’t see another Christmas I’d of left your tree up to (any excuse for me haha). Dan you really was one in a million in every way, I miss you so much and you will be in my heart forever and a day! All my love Jenni xxx
Dan you will be truly and heartbreakingly missed by everyone who knew and loved you. I first met you in about 1989 and through the years I’ve always known of the special place you held in the hearts of your family. More recently I saw firsthand the love that went between you and the efforts made to always put you first. It was a pleasure to have that small insight into your life, your amazing character and what you meant, you are very special – Mandi xx
