View Full Version : The passing of our son
As some of you probably know by now, our 28yo son Daniel passed away last Thursday night 5th of February 2015 in his sleep.
Although the final coroner’s report is some months off there are no indications of anything untoward; most likely sleeping meds and his asthma.
Nel and I appreciate all the support we are getting from close friends and our local Church minister; also the thoughts and prayers from the Photographic community.
Many have connected via social media, and all the thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.
We are coping ok considering the situation.
Daniel's funeral will be held at 10:00am Saturday 14th
Life Church, 61 Baloo St, Ingle Farm.
The notices will be in the paper today.
No flowers please, donations in memory of Daniel to Rahab

As I have passed onto you and Nel privately over the last few days, my thoughts are with you both at this time. Whilst words cannot ease your pain, just know that I care and am here if you need me.
On behalf of myself and AP, I have made a significant donation to the charity that Kym has mentioned in his first post.

Heartfelt symathies Kym, to you both. Perhaps he's somewhere comparing notes with my niece, who was taken by MD about the same age, well before her time. I hope they are both resting in peace.

My condolences to you and your family on the occasion of your sad bereavement.
Such a hard thing to suffer, especially when it is someone so young and with so much ahead of them. I just can't imagine how you and Nel are coping, Kym. I sincerely hope the love and support you are receiving here will help carry you both through the difficult times ahead. I have a son and a daughter in this general age bracket and I cannot imagine losing either one, so you are both in our thoughts and prayers.

Tomorrow will be a very hard day for you both, Kym and Nel. Take comfort in knowing that all those who attend the funeral of Daniel, and a lot more of us that cannot, will be by your side in spirit.
I hope you get a chance to remember the good times, the fun times, the things that make memories wonderful, amongst the sorrow that tomorrow will doubtlessly bring.
Will be thinking of you both at 10.00 am (SA time) tomorrow morning.

I feel for you as a father, and as the sun sets I read this post with sadness and know you are in pain. Hope and love are the things that bind us, and tomorrow will be tough , I hope you can gather strength with your faith to carry on and know you and your son have been much loved. I feel your son will be wanting you to try and live as normal a life as possible, and to remember the love and the good times,
kind regards Nick.
Today I had the privilege of attending the funeral of Daniel, Kym and Nels' son.
It was a wonderful service. The thoughts and life shared by those who shared were a wonderful and beautiful tribute and testimony to Daniel as a son and Kym and Nel as his parents.
Your both in our Prayers Kym and Nel.
All our love,
Milton and Ali.

I am so sad to hear your news.
I cannot know how it must be for you, but life certainly does not seem fair.
I pray you can find some comfort in the company of family and friends.

I'm glad you were there, yes it was a celebration of wonderful life cut short.
So many people had so many touching stories about Daniel.
We have been comforted
Heartfelt thanks to the AP community for your thoughts and prayers at this time
So sorry Kym. The sense that we can live on in honour of our missing loved one is strongest in these moments. The sense that we are part of precious communities is also strong.

Oh that's so terrible Kym, my sincerest condolences to you and your family.
My sympathies to you Kym and your family may Daniel RIP.
Kym and Nel and Family
I am so very sorry to hear of your tragic news and wish you both my, and my wife Judy's, sincerest sympathies.
As a parent the loss of the child is a loss without comparison.
It is now a little over 12 months since we lost our eldest son at the age of 29 and there is not a day when I don't think of what might have been and of what has been taken from us.
All I can say now Kym is take comfort in your faith and family, and remember blokes do cry and mourn and get depressed, it's natural and normal. But you also need to remember that blokes can talk about it. It does help.

Our thoughts are with you Kym.
Can't imagine anything more heart breaking than losing your son or daughter.
Sincerest condolensces and hope your faith, friends and family helps give you strength to endure the pain.
Just read this after being away from the board for a while. So very sorry to hear about your loss, and I echo all the messages here and wish you all the best as you come to terms with such a terrible tragedy.
So sorry to hear this Kym .Have 4 sons around this age and can not imagine the pain. No parent should have to go through this. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

Sincerest sympathy to you and your family, my thoughts are with you.
Keith.
We raised over $3,300 for the Rahab - the nominated charity.
I'm sure Daniel is proud of that.
Thanks everyone who donated.
Really sorry to hear of your loss Kym.
As a father, I feel your pain. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Kym, I'm a newbie here and had no idea of what you and your wife had suffered so recently. My thoughts went immediately to your kind response to my query on the forum only yesterday and it made your generosity in the circumstances deeply touching. We suffered a similar tragedy many years ago and know how much it hurts. I sincerely hope that in some strange way, the knowledge that so many love and care for you and yours, will bring some comfort.
Sincerely, Don
