What a beautiful and fitting send off. Thanks for all the memories from the rugby days. Rest easy brother.

Buddy…… I can’t believe you’ve gone. Ever since a toddler you were a fast moving ball of fire and life. As an adult you were passionate, creative, direct, selfless and dependable. At the most raw, vulnerable and public time of my life you stood up and stood beside me with courage, complete acceptance, humour and strength. Your words stay with me and I’ll always hold onto them. Thank you for never being anyone else but you. You are so loved. You’re at peace now my friend.

A beautiful service to farewell a respected and loved man. Love to all the family during this time xxx

To Mark, Judy, Jessie and Rebecca, So sorry to hear of Daniel's death. Still see him in our backyard in Warkworth tossing green plums at the girls. He was a character of a child. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Take Care, Larry and Angie Heenan and families.

To Mark and to Judy and families, so very sorry to hear of your loss. Sincere condolences to you all at this sad time.
