Passed away suddenly on December 26th at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga at the age of 36. Lovingly remembered by his parents Luciano and Vesna, Brother Christopher and Sister-in-law Alessandra, Nephew/Godson Luke and Niece Cassandra. Loving Grandson of Esef and Maria.

Daniel will be remembered for his loving embrace, larger than life personality and loud boisterous laugh. To know him was to love him. His vocation came for caring for adults and children with disabilities and developmental differences. A true champion for the voiceless, the misunderstood and the forgotten. Daniel was a professional Highland Games athlete and Champion, former National hammer thrower and strength sports enthusiast. He found camaraderie, purpose and drive to reach the highest levels of competition both nationally and internationally. His favourite days were hanging out with his dog Samson, enjoying a movie and his Reese’s peanut butter cups. You could also find him out on a lake or creek casting his reel and enjoying the ebbs and flows of the water.
