Losing Daniel
On August 13, 2011 our son Daniel died in a tragic hiking accident.
While camping at Gold Panners Camp Ground located in interior BC, near Enderby, he and two of his friends went on a ‘hike’. More of a walk through the trees along a path above the river.
On their way back, his friend Scott slipped and started to fall. Daniel grabbed his hand in an attempt to save him. Sadly the tree Daniel was holding uprooted from the bank and they both fell to their death. The fall was approximately 10 stories.
When he died, Daniel was 21, he was entering his final year of psychology at UBCO. After graduation he was going to become an RCMP officer.
The stories on this site are my memories of him and about his life. I hope they make you smile and bring warmth to your heart.
