“Daniel will be sadly missed by all of his family and friends. Daniel was the most incredible loving person and a fantastic father to his young children who he loved dearly.
“Daniel was a loving man with a kind heart and the funniest sense of humour, he was always happy with an infectious smile. He did all he could to make others happy and would always put himself out to help others and nothing was too much trouble.
“Daniel has left a huge hole in everyone’s lives and will be sorely missed.”
