‘I just want to express how special you [were] to me, not only my best friend at work and the best crew mate but one of my best friends who had a massive impact on day to day life, the most kind hearted person who always had time to help others, who made me laugh every day and always would pick up the phone whenever I was in need. ‘Dan I can’t believe you’re actually gone. ‘We were meant to go out together this week and I was looking forward to seeing you.
Even the phone call we had this morning an hour before you [were] gone I’ll never.
