  26. Daniel,
    A tribute to you is like a tribute to the greatest song in the world… I know that your looking down and smiling knowing exactly what I mean. How you are going to be so very missed. Turner there’s not enough words that can sum up all the memories shared.. not only were you my friend but you were like a brother. I know that wherever you are now… Gods got his hands full… you’ll be up there playing pranks and telling jokes and fishing for those big ones! You certainly didn’t pull the wool over my eyes however. You were the most big hearted caring soul I’ve known. Until we meet again, Rest In Peace now…

    To Sue & Fred and family, (bess and jada) my deepest thoughts love and sympathy goes to you. Daniel will carry on in your hearts and in our hearts forever.

    Fly high brother!

  33. Sue, Fred and Family,
    We’re all thinking of you at this time and sending you so much strength and much love.

    Daniel “Turner” was one of the most genuine, unique, kind, true to himself souls. His infectious cheeky smile, The way he treated everyone as a friend and anyone to have Turner in their life was truly blessed with the best. I’ll always cherish all the time and memories we made and that I was lucky to have had with him. The way everything was a fun adventure even if we were doing the same thing many times over, The way he had to teach me to skate board (he succeeded) How caring and kind he truly was, His personality was the absolute best it shined so bright! He could make anyone laugh and put a smile on their face he definitely was “Dan the Man”. I’ll be forever thankful our paths crossed, I’ll always cherish every moment I had with you, our recent catch up I truly treasure. It’s so easy to rave on about the man you were because you were the absolute best of the best without a doubt ❤️

    Rest Easy. Love You Always, Simone.

    Our hearts are breaking with you at the tragic loss of your precious Daniel.
    We have seen him grow from a young boy to a teenager and then into a man .
    So many fond precious memories of many hours spent at our home .
    If you painted his footprints between his place and ours they would be too numerous to count.
    Daniel, you certainly were one of a kind . You sense of humour unique, always polite just an all round great guy .
    You will be greatly missed ,more then you will ever know.
    We love you Daniel 💔💔
    From Leesa, Nick , Josh , Madaleine and Steph

  46. To our dearest sister Sue, brother in law Fred, nephew Jason, nieces Bec, Jess and families,
    We were deeply saddened by Dan the Man’s passing. We will miss his smile and greeting as he passed through the lounge when we visited Swan Hill. We will miss his excitement at showing us some of his “treasures” he had unearthed whilst out detecting or the legal sized fish he caught.
    We will miss him and his hugs.
    Lots of love to you all
    Kevin & Jan ♥️♥️

    Kevin DoyleApril 8 2022 8:47 pm
  47. Dan. You had this compelling charm, that like many others I was drawn to instantly. Charismatic, handsome, intelligent, rebellious, witty and kind. The joy and laughter you brought to those around you will never be forgotten. I can still remember the first time we met. Little did I know that those 4 walls were going to be my second home for the next few years. Just like many others, you welcomed me into your home, your life and your family.

    You marched to your own beat, an individual who didn’t conform to society’s norms, always true to yourself but remaining true to your friends. You saw your place in the world differently which opened my mind to endless possibilities, knowing you always had my back.. “In the sky, flying with the fish, or maybe in the ocean, swimming with the pigeons”.. to quote an old time favourite of ours.

    We shared so many adventures, laughs and smiles. But it wasn’t just the fun and craziness that you will be remembered for..

    I admired your passion for music, you were so creative and immensely talented. Your humour, whit and way with words always made everyone laugh. And despite your cheeky rebellious nature, you were still a true gentleman and loyal friend.

    The late night ‘dots and boxes’ games and our worldly conversations. You challenged my thinking and never let me live down any grammar mistakes.
    Such a big heart. I loved your beautiful spirit and will cherish our friendship forever. Loved by so many. Loved by me. You made me feel safe, loved, heard and seen. The impression you left on this world will live on in our hearts forever.

    Rest Peacefully Captain.
