Just on facebook.

Hi there again everyone

Just as a follow on to my last message, this is Andy Shepherd again on behalf of Dan.

As you are all now aware Dan has been very poorly for some time, and I am very sorry to have to tell you all that unfortunately Dan passed away this morning at around 7am. He took a turn for the worse this week again, and had been sleeping for a long time before he woke today to say his final words, and peacefully drifted off to sleep this morning. He was at home, with his family, which I think everyone would agree is exactly what he would have wanted.

He has asked me to say that you are all welcome to the funeral when it takes place, I am not sure of dates as yet but I will send a message to all once I have the information.

He also asked me to say a huge thank you to everyone that left messages on his wall - it was a great comfort to him in his final days - he saw them all and he and his family were all very moved by the sentiment - thank you everyone. I think it just shows how much we will all miss our friend.

I will be in touch with funeral information as soon as I can

Thanks

Andy

Don't mind admitting I've shed one or two tears this evening.

RIP Dan.

He bore the dealing of a crap hand with great grace.

Thank you for letting us know, Jack.

Very sad.

Absolutely agreed. I very much admired him for that.

Crap taste in cars, though.

Hell yes. Amazingly so. Never once a complaint or a self-pitying moment.

RIP Dan.

A lesson to us all in getting on with life as it presents itself, rather than moping about our impending mortality.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "JackH" saying something like:

Arse.

I thought he wasn't very chipper the last couple of posts - nothing he complained about, just a passing mention of something that made me wonder if he hadn't long to go.

Bugger owed me a tenner, too.

Same here. I've had more contact with Dan over the last couple of years than with some members of my family. It's doubly upsetting for me because he died the same way as my brother and that's brought back some sad memories.

Ah well. That's Renault bankrupt then.

RIP Dan, looks like it might be a UKR(C)M funeral meet then. Bollocks.

Gotta say, that lad has been a inspiration. Two members of my family have been seriously ill in the last year and talking to Dan, his posts and most of his all attitude towards his own illness helped me cope with the shit that has been happening. I'm so glad he managed to get his European trip, a few laps of the Nurburgring, and his trip to New York before things took a downward turn. I'm gonna miss him, and I'm certain I'm not the only one that will.

RIP Dan. Never had a chance to meet him in person, sadly, but I'll miss seeing him around these parts.

Just picked up the email. Rest in peace Dan, for the world will be a lesser place without you.
