Nicholas Dakin (4 Nov 1962 - 22 Jun 2024)

Nick was my brother in law. I’ve no other older brother than Nick. And don’t you find big brothers remind us that we are not alone? This Is why Nicks loss is so hard. I have known Nick since as long as I can remember. And, I remember he was always, well usually, or perhaps often up for what ever was going on, so long as he was up for it. But above all, he loved his family. And I am grateful he became part of mine. You know, I will always cherish Nick’s quiet patience, forever waiting for life to free him from those prison bars of life’s drudgeries to be free like the breeze, free like a river walk with his dogs, where sometimes the sunshine would come. The sun will come and shine for us again. And nick will smile upon us in that light. I know it. Good bye my dear, often very funny, and always caring brother. Goodbye Nick.

To Nick
You were one of my longest and dearest friends, and I cannot believe I am writing this. We had 20 years of friendship consisting of lots of laughs and fun, a little bit of alcohol, lovely walks with Sox, Bailey and Digs and a few life-challenges for us both which we shared. You were a very special friend to me who I will never forget and who I will greatly miss.
I feel cheated we didn't get to grow old together and that after working hard all of your life, you didn't get your time.
My heart goes out to your sisters who I know meant the world to you and I take some comfort in knowing you are with your mum.
Until we meet again. ❤️ Bx

Fond memories of a young man we are pleased and proud to have known. We will never forget you.
Love Pete and Sue xx

You breezed into my life like a tornado, and vowed to marry me on our first meeting! We did marry and had 15 wonderful years together. You made an everlasting impression on all my family and created a void that could not be filled when you left. I’m glad you were able to meet my mom and recreate the special bond you once shared. You will be missed all over again, but now you can rest easy. You will always have a little piece of my heart ♥️

I still can’t believe you’ve gone. I don’t think I can ever accept that I can’t talk to you or see you again but I have so many special memories of you that will help me through this. You were the best brother ever. I love you and miss you so much it hurts. I hope you’re with everyone up there and keeping an eye on us. Your little sis loves you very much. 💔

My heart is broken right now and I don’t ever think it will mend without you I love you so much, I know I will see you again one day in the future and we can laugh and chat once more, until then brother watch over me and let me know you are by my side. 💔
