[@Perla-w2d]

@lucy bond I hear you .. what breaks my heart is the amount of pain he endured. The end was brutal..thank you for your kind words .I wish you all the best..happiness and health

[@moonshine814]

I visit almost daily for a dose of his positive attitude, smile & personality. I'm sure his family is super proud of all he went through, endured and all the positivity he put out into the Universe. He was pretty amazing.

Deceased September 28, 2018 12:35 p.m. 32 years old R. I. P., Dan - Hero!

[@AngloAm]

Bolloxy awful isn't it? :(

[@ddbears3686]

Never forgotten

[@glb1993]

Dan's story has given me such an appreciation for the life I have and that I should live each day with optimism and happiness. RIP Dan you were surely a wonderful soul on this earth taken far to soon.

[@Neardrage]

Little over than 2 years and I still get to your profile and Emily's and rewatch videos Why did you have to go ? You were such an awesome person! I hope you're in a better place now, Legend I still miss you and think of you sometimes

[@CelticMoonOrchid]

Rest in peace, Dan. You are a bright and powerful star. You will be very much missed. 💗💔💙

[@angelmonello9577]

Ok... so I can’t stop crying right now. Such a brave soul. I feel like I lost a friend.

[@Annalyse74]

So strange coming back here after seeing your hospice video today! 😰

[@ZzonkedMCFC]

It's great to see him in a better time. I think his family will really really appreciate having these videos.

[@bizzyduffy873]

Yes I was thinking the same.. poor Dan is on his last.

[@mikevoisine2886]

He's gone, now. RIP Dan.

[@missdoglover1644]

He’s watching all of us now from heaven so we must behave! 😊

[@JMC01644]

Bsonsyrup I think all of us do the same. So very sad that the world has lost another kind, sweet soul.

[@missdoglover1644]

I love seeing you like this Dan. I’m sure you can see this from heaven ❤️❤️❤️

[@latikabanerji5241]

Hugs from USA WI! Your humor In the face of great adversity is always such an inspiration.

[@andrewwolf7798]

I love watching these videos of Dan before the "c" took everything over. I've stumbled across his videos and have fell in love with this gentleman's personality. He was an amazing lad while we had him. RIP bruv.

[@nikelindstrom4176]

You rarely get to meet a person so alive and passionate in the moment as you. You live every minute intensely and as much as you can. One can only admire you and know that whatever the outcome will be of the operation and whatever will follow you’re embraced and surrounded with love, support, strength and admiration. You are not and you will never be alone on this journey.

[@nikelindstrom4176]

I’m sure that your mind set is in survival mode and all of us surrounding you feels the same but I’m sure that you’re dealing with thoughts of the worst case scenario too and here’s a quote that’s soothing: “ seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean”

[@suzieq2268]

Dan, just getting to know you through your vlogs has made us all better humans too 🌍🌎🌏 Nice legacy not many can claim... to have touched the hearts of the world ♥

[@foxylady9110]

Rest peacefully Dan, fly high, a wonderful bloke sad he's gone but never forgotten ❤️

[@BEAGS19774]

There is something truly remarkable about deciding to change. Because it is a decision. I distinctly remember a moment in my life where I realized I could define myself differently. And, I worked on it reinventing myself into the person I wanted to be. I moved but even the people from my past hardly remember who I used to be. The one thing cancer or any illness cannot take from you is your legacy and your ability to become. It takes effort to change and willingness and acceptance of who you were and who you are. It is not for the faint of heart. But for those who are willing to see a second chance and grab it with both hands, the result is remarkable and moving. I have mad respect for your honesty and desire to create your own legend. I changed my story before I had cancer. To change yours in the face of it is simply brilliant. Rooting for you and hoping all goes well for surgery.

[@bethmoloney6825]

lovely to see you Dan in these earlier videos.

[@Pikesgirl]

I saw this posted and my heart skipped a beat. I looked for his videos daily and looked forward to seeing him. Thank you for keeping his memory alive for all of us that cared so much about him. It makes me sad and happy at the same time and I shed tears watching this. Miss you Dan but know you are living the life now. ❤️

[@vanityfair5823]

It's your eyes Dan, they're so expressive and give us a glimpse into what you are feeling, more than words can say. Great video of your beautiful country. Thank you. I know you feel like you're on the edge of a cliff ready to be pushed off feet first, you are forced into this battle but you are strong and will live. We all love you Dan and I'm praying for you. Hugs🐥🍀

[@dr.arnoldibarretajayme812]

Imagine what cancer can do to you in six months !!! OMG, Dan was still full of energy 6 months ago !!! :(

[@wisewillow5731]

Wow, can’t believe I just asked you about your past, then you uploaded this around the same time! I think it’s good for us all to go visit our old stomping ground, be a little reflective. Xx💕

[@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780]

I quite enjoyed the tour of your hometown! Sometimes it's nice to physically see how far you have come. I'm sorry to hear about your mate but glad you didn't feel ready to speak on it, Save it for when you're in Happier times. Sending luck for your pre op and the surgery. All of us are with you, and so is the force!

[@ryjfraser67]

SO awesome to see you smiling and goofy today! Going home can be pretty cathartic, and it looks like it was a great thing for you to do. A nod to our old selves, and where we came from adds a lot of clarity. Glad you had a super day Dan! Warm hugzs, Champ! 😀

[@theparrotrescuer3042]

Thanks for sharing! Now get some rest before surgery. Positive thoughts, love and blessings.

[@melodytomasino5394]

You're so interesting Dan. You talk often about a time in your youth when you were not a nice person, did cancer change you for the better or did something else? You are so thoughtful about finding answers for other people and their suffering. Your life would make for an interesting book, just my two cents, Love and hugs!

[@bluntintro6435]

Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane, Dan. As always, it's great to see you smile. Haven't been to Wolvo for over a decade now - It was good to see again. Hope you're managing to get some rest before tomorrow. We love you, kiddo!

[@joanbaczek2575]

ducks are the symbol of freedom, connection between heaven and earth, marriage and fidelity.

[@debraboyea7776]

[@nazshak]

I will never forget you and what you have done, Daniel. 💚

[@soblessed4766]

[@virginiamicek15]

Thanks Dan for giving us a little taste of the old Dan. Now go and get some rest in prep for your surgery. Love hugs and prayers❤️

[@susanwedell7627]

[@TardyTardigrade]

It brings a smile to my face seeing you enjoy yourself 😀 Your hometown is beautiful, to me anyway having never been to the U.K. Thank you for taking us on a tour. I hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery. I pray it brings you some amount of relief from the pain. You will be in my thoughts and prayers during the operation. 💖🙏💖 ☺

[@ZoraVRS]

I said it on twitter might as well say it again here. This is your best one yet! My cheeks hurt from smiling! Everything with your surgery will go well and you'll have a speedy recovery, I'm 100% sure. Thank you for tagging us along! Have a good night xx

[@justjoy7194]

That was fun! I love seeing London. Thank you Pee wee!

[@pam164]

You were young and made mistakes but your human and you have really turned your life around your a lovely person.

[@tonymartin7890]

Depends on what he did.

[@cruiseylee]

Kieran Ryan course it does.

[@cruiseylee]

Kieran Ryan Doesn't make Jim a good person is what I mean. So if he abused children you think that's ok yeah? For example.

[@cruiseylee]

Kieran Ryan didn’t day they couldn’t do good in the world. And no you are wrong. Many people who do that are not unwell at all. Just have sick urges. And I could not forgive someone if they did that. As bad as murder in my view.

[@cruiseylee]

Kieran Ryan No it wasn’t. Or was you are a lovely person. Doing that I’m afraid you lose the lovely person bit forever.

[@coco2cu]

We all evolve hopefully for the better ..wishing and praying for your comfort Dan

[@karenvanorden6711]

Good luck with the surgery, sweetie. Prayers for your recovery

[@verac6731]

I love your videos. Each one is different and always a surprise!

Love and hugs, and this will be daunting, but your a wild man still and a wonderful person, so thanks for the your, even though the pain. It's 2200 here and I am going to gave my warm milk and a biscuit, and head to bed. Oh yes, glad you are keeping up with your eating. Huggies and love ♡♡♡ ya from the dry ponds in TX. Old lady H.

[@chloet182]

I’ve Siam it before but you really are inspiration ❤️ I’ve had a tough time health wise this week myself unable to get out of bed for exhaustion and pain but after watching you getting out there and how your videos push you to do more I’m considering starting a channel for myself ..I fell my heath has killed my social life recently but I’m never t up to anything crazy but could probably manage to vlog..,one again thanks for documenting your struggles you have no idea the difference your making!!

[@AndrewMundellAndrewJMundell]

[@countrycaliforniagirl32]

As this video was probaly as hard as 2 tons of bricks on the bottom of your feet, please know that I thank you for the visual tour of London. It is so beautiful out there and your videos are probably going to be the closest i see of it. I am loving the facts that youre still hungry or at least eating and getting out smelling fresh air. Keep pushing yourself forward my brother and as you are preparing for surgery on Wednesday remember all of us that are thinking about, praying for and loving you back to your healthy life. You are awesome Dan and Please don't stop being YOU!❤😍😘

[@irisc8737]

Sending positive energy to you today. Keep strong. I sometimes wonder why life is so hard for some people and a breeze for others. X

[@pam164]

Iris C Yes i agree life is very unfair some people breeze through life and others seem to get more than there share of horrible luck.

[@lauraodle5816]

Too funny! There's the crazy Dan, that makes me smile (even though it takes drugs to get it out of you!! LOL). "FLOWERS....BUS, BUS, BUS!". The stupid things always make me smile! Great, after a hectic day, physio, meeting with finance guy, specialist appointment, and now home and 'knackered' I think you call it! NOTHING like your days, I can't even imagine. Just saying it's a nice video after a busy day. :) Love, and strength to you and your family for tomorrow and Wednesday.
