Was born in Torbay hospital and lived in Kingsteignton, he attended school at Rydon Primary and then onto Teign secondary school.
He had many hobbies including football and photography but his friends and family were the most important things in his short life.
He sadly didn’t get to progress his photography and media to university as he had intended due to illness, Dan also sadly never got to spend time or even meet some of his nephews which is very sad as he would have been a fantastic uncle.
Happy Birthday buddy . Think of you every day , but on special days our thoughts are with you for different reasons and different memories are recalled. Walk beside us everyday. How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can.
hey mate. we all got together and have been camping down in Cornwall. something we did a lot, just not for long enough. wish you could have been here with us, if not for us for Jack, Harry and Clemmie bum. live and miss you always ❤️
Time passes but you memory never fades and our love is as strong as ever.
Another year has passed since you were taken from us , irrespective of the of the length of time you are never far from our thoughts, so much has happened and changed, your nieces and nephews are growing up very quickly. There has been so much you should have had the opportunity to share and be part of , despite this you are remembered even by the people who sadly never got the opportunity to ever meet or get to know you , that makes us all very sad . So many things remind me of you ,even in the grandchildren , sometimes I see Clemmie smile and I see you in her , Jack says something that reminds me of something you might have said and Harry reminds me of you when you were about his age , just his carefree attitude to anything and everything . Missed you yesterday , miss you tomorrow and every day , loved you yesterday , love you today ,tomorrow and every day. Walk beside us everyday, love you always Xx

Today is your 30th birthday and we wish that you could be here so we could celebrate this with you, I think about you all the time and often wonder what you might be doing now , what you would look like , how life might have worked out for you, sadly we will never know in this world.
I miss so much about you but one of many things I miss is the is the sound of your voice and your laugh , I would dearly love to be able to speak , hug you and tell you how much I love you.
So many things have happened over the years that you were unable to be part of , I would love to think that there is something after and you can see or be with us even if we can’t see you, it would be nice to think you are able to see your mum , Jon , Steve , Sarah , Paige , Jack ,Harry and Clementine , the little ones have or will be brought up to learn about you and never forget you even though not all of them got to meet or get to know you.
When we lost you we all lost part of ourselves and that is something time cannot replace.
As I write this a tear rolls down my cheek as despite the time that has passed the pain remains.
We all love and miss you with all our hearts and hope that wherever you are you are marking your birthday with a smile on your face and love in your heart.
True love never fades and your memory is as strong today as it will always be xx
All our love forever Xx
