In memory of Daniel Cowie (23 January 1991 - 12 August 2021)

Daniel was a kind and sensitive soul. He would often put others before himself, he would do anything to bring a smile to the face of those he cared about, even if it meant being pushed out of his own comfort zone.

A lot of you will remember Daniel as having a huge love for animals. At one point he would have had enough pets to open a petting zoo. Although the one thing always missing from his animal family was a tarantula, which our mother never would have agreed to!

He has always been a very caring person in all aspects of his life. More recently he began working as a carer at a local care home and he was a natural at it. He enjoyed listening to all the resident's stories and loved the fact he brightened up their days.

Daniel never realised the impact he had in the world. He was the rock for a lot of us in our times of need. It is unfortunate that we could not get the professional support for Daniel in his darkest hours. This is why instead of flowers, we would appreciate a donation to this fundraiser. Although Daniel didn't receive help, we are desperate to make a change for other people who may be suffering.

We have chosen The Lighthouse for Perth as a local organisation. They are a crisis support team and safe place for anybody aged 12 and above who may be suffering with emotional distress, self-harm or suicidal thoughts. https://lighthouseforperth.org/

We have also chosen Andy's Man Club. This is a charity specifically encouraging men to open up and speak about their mental health and to hopefully end the stigma around this. https://andysmanclub.co.uk/

Thank you for any contribution you make. We appreciate every donation and every social media share this page gets.

We are eternally grateful to you all for the support, friendship, love and compassion you have provided to Daniel throughout the years.

Finally, to Daniel, we have and always will be immensely proud of you. We love you.
