![I saw these words today and thought they were perfect to share after going to the most beautiful send off for an absolute legend of a guy Dan Thorley you will be missed so much it's untrue.
Thankyou for all the laughs and chuckles we have had over the years ... so grateful to have known you nearly 21 years and will treasure those memories.
To Julia, Kate, Matthew and Rorrie ... your strength today was amazing and the love you have for each other shone brighter than ever. We love you all to bits and will always be here for you. Dan was ultimately the proudest husband and dad and he had every reason to be, you guys will carry on his legacy with all the amazing memories you made.
My favourite memory has to be Dan performing the song he wrote at Kate and Rorrie's wedding #prouddad ... had to share these pictures too ❤](https://d24pb0tc2lc7uj.cloudfront.net/95KiorAuEBTU_YYEezejOzj7WDM=/fit-in/800x600/public/assets/uploads/e86b7b31-8d1f-4ce1-9a19-5e3ed22e33f4.jpg)

Had the privilege of sharing so many special moments with Dan. Our mutual love of music with his talents only matched by my lack of any. Though my favorite memory has to be that magical day in Vegas. xxx
