Daniel James Shearman (28 Nov 1974 - 5 Feb 2021)
Funeral Director
In loving memory of Daniel James Shearman who sadly passed away on 5th February 2021.
Dan was a much loved colleague, friend, Uncle, Son, Brother, Father and Husband and he will be greatly missed.
Dan was born on 28th of November 1974 and he lived in and around the Medway area of Kent for most of his life.
He attended Greenwich University and studied Engineering.
For much of his working life Dan worked for Network Rail as an Engineer and manager.
Dan's main passions were cars and music and later skiing and travel.
He played in many bands over the years mostly as a bass guitar player.
He had an incredible gift for making up songs on the spot. He had an uninhibited and emotive voice and a fantastic turn of phrase.
He was good company and an excellent story teller, he could paint a picture with his words and he would make you howl with laughter.
He was an independent thinker, unswayed by popular opinion, fads or peer pressure.
He was generous, witty, often hilarious, straight forward, blunt, profound and wise.
Dan met the love of his life Jen in 2007 and in 2010 they married, having got engaged in Las Vegas.
Together they welcomed two wonderful boys Isaac (born in November 2011 ) and Elliot (born in November 2014)
Dan was a dedicated family man who enjoyed nothing more than the company of his wife and children. He was a great father and he loved his children dearly.
Dan was a lovely, sweet, unique, and talented man who was able to connect with people from all walks of life.
Dan leaves behind a host of memories with those that spent time with him and a giant hole in the lives of those that loved him.
He will never be forgotten.
Whilst due to COVID regulations we are unable to invite many to the funeral, we will be organising a remembrance event once we can all meet again safely. In lieu of flowers, if you would like to make a charity donation in Dan's memory then please do contact T Allen funeral directors by emailing strood@allentfuneralservice.co.uk or calling 01634 295552. Charity donations will be split between MIND and Winston's Wish.

Dan loved to drive. I wish he'd worn his glasses...
