Dan



It’s been a few weeks now and my tears have dried but the truth is I still think about you a lot. The thought that you might visit me in my dreams gives me, and the many others like me, the ability to sleep at night. I miss you. You were a best friend and though I try not to, I feel terribly sorry that institutions, geography and procrastination drew us apart in the last few years.



Your extraordinary character continues to be the yard stick that I measure all others, including myself, against. You have my deepest respect and love and your memory will be with me forever.



Till we meet again



Your Friend

I am deeply saddened to hear about Daniel's passing. I have been a reader of askmen for 5 years and Daniel's articles have been one of the most enjoyable and helpful articles for me and those words have made a difference for me in life. I will miss him..



My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.



Much Respect,

At an age when most people still struggle to find their own way, he has accomplished more than most will do in all their life. Arrivederci Daniel!

It is not an exageration to say it was mutually agreed that Dan was the best person, in every way, out of all our large circle of friends. He never said a bad thing about anyone, and never did a bad thing to anyone. He just made times happier, more fun and more easy going.



I was fortunate enough to spend a summer with Dan in Whistler BC and I couldn't have asked for a better room mate, or friend for that matter. This was during a period of my life where I knew my sister was going to pass away of cancer. He had an inexplicable way of making things easier for me. He was trully a one of a kind guy who I could speak to about anything and everything and not feel shy or ashamed.



When my sister's time came to pass, we had a talk in his apartment. He gave me a perspective of how to continue in life, specifically how I should accomplish things that would make her proud of me, just as he had been living his life to make his late mother proud.



I wish I could have told him one last time how much I appreciated his help and friendship that he gave me. In so many ways, all of his close friends are better people because of him.



Much respect for Dan Harrison.

There are no words to express what you mean to all whose lives you have touched, or the tremendous impact of your absence. Amid endless pain and questions, there are some clear truths:



Your 21 years were marked with an abundance of love and laughter, close relationships, outstanding accomplishments, travels, and an infectious smile rooted in your tangible contentment and zest for life.



Sharing time, words, hugs & laughs with you was a blessing.



You influenced people during your life, and your death is already changing the way many of us think and live. I suspect it will continue to do so in significant ways.



Your adoring friends and family will work to keep your memory alive forever.



I love you Daniel, and I’m so grateful for every moment we spent together. You are with me always.



Love,





Sis

Although Cos and I only met Daniel at Nadine and Ian's wedding, the impression he left on us was timeless. His smile could light up a room!

My first memory of Daniel is as a small child, in his mother’s warm embrace, when Ian and I were only 11 years old. I remember his large and inquisitive eyes, through which he saw the world. As a young boy, he demonstrated more wisdom and insight than his age would indicate. Over the years, I watched him develop into a sensitive and intelligent man. His warm laugh and kind voice continue to resonate in my ears. His bright smile is etched in my mind. He will be missed and remembered.



I am extremely saddened by your tragic loss. My mother, sister, and I extend our deepest sympathies to Ian and his family.

Nadine & Ian I am lost for words, and very saddened by this news. I recently sent Nadine an email to say "hey you're on my mind," this is the last thing I expected. I did not know Daniel but knew that he belonged to a loving and caring circle. My deepest sympathies as you go through this together. My love always. God Bless

Daniel's witty sense of humour will never be forgotten, as well as his keen sense of responsability at work. He helped some of us have the best summer of our lives in France in 2004. Rest in Peace Daniel, we love you.

It is heart-wrenching to have to say goodbye to someone before you are ready, especially a person so young and with such an obvious love for life as Daniel. We all love you Daniel, whether our time with you was for years or days, and the greatest gift you give to us (and are still giving) are the wonderful memories we have of you. We will always keep those memories alive, and that way, you will always live within us.

I am honored to have been graced by Daniel’s presence. Although I was not a close friend of Daniel’s, only a classmate in high school, I can still honestly say I have never known a better person. Just knowing Daniel has impacted my life. He was truly wonderful. I will remember him for the rest of my life. I am so sorry to his family and close friends. I can not even begin to understand how you are feeling, but know that he lives on in our hearts.

In the last couple of days all Ive been thinking of is Dan. His passing has had a great impact on so many people and that's because he was someone so remarkable.He will be truly missed and never forgotten.My condolences to his family and friends.

I went to the funeral today.



Known to me as simplay Dan, Daniel was a staple at my house for many years as he and my younger brother have been close friends since meeting early in high school. I feel fortunate for today was the first funeral I have ever been to. However, I feel sad for my brother and his friends. They shouldn't have to go through something like this at such a young age. Certainly not before I do - it seems so unfair.



The few hundred people with me this afternoon at the church are a true representation of what Dan meant to everyone he met. The overflowing show of support a perfect example of his personality - and the way he treated others. It seemed as though everyone who was at the church then went to his gravesite where each and every person stayed for his burial - something I have never seen or heard of before (nor have many others, so I am told).



I have heard that Riverdale High has named its Leadership award, handed out at convocation, the Daniel Harrison Leadership award. What an honour for him -- but a perfect fit. For Dan was a true leader.



I am comforted to know that Dan is in a better place now. The only reason he is not here is that he was too good for us - too good for this world and has been taken back so soon after he was given to us.



My deepest symapthy to Ian and the rest of his family.



Rest in Peace Dan. An angel to my family and to many others.

My deepest sympathies to Daniel's family. Though I have not seen much of Daniel since High School, I've always had very fond memories of him. Daniel was a great person and will be deeply missed.

I've always been told that everyone is born to fulfill a purpose and once that purpose is fulfilled our time here is done. Dan had this amazing ability to bring people together and from the times that I spent with him the only thing he brought was a smile to my face and it seemed he enjoyed his life to the fullest. Nothing bad can be said. Although he may be gone he is still bringing people young and old back together and not many people can do this. He will always be remembered and my heartfelt condolences go out to the whole Harrison Family.

Daniel arrived at our offices three short weeks ago, literaly beginning what would surely be a promising and successful career. He made an impact on all of us in no time and I personally enjoyed his company and enthusiastic personality very much. He arrived every morning with a smile on his face and a sense of urgency and energy about him. He will be dearly missed.

To his parents I would like to pass on a single simple message in this time of unbearable tragedy......you raised a wonderful son.

Yours sincerely, Paul Beattie

Daniel, it was evident from our first encounter that you had a beautiful, wise, pure and true soul, just like your brother, and like your mom and dad too, I am certain. You really were a rare gem -- one of those people that made me love life by their simple existence, because you made me see how extraordinary some human beings can be. A part of you will live on in my heart forever Daniel. Much love.

May the Lord lighten the heavy load you carry.

May he give you strength in these, the saddest of times.

May God grant you some peace in your darkness, and

May you know that Daniel will be with you always.

October 6, 2005

The shock of someone so vibrant, intelligent and happy being taken from us way too soon is still there everyday. It's a true testament to Daniel's life that his death has left so many people deeply devastated. Ian - I know that you've lost not only a brother but your closest, dearest and best friend. We feel your pain and our hearts bleed for you. The last time I saw Daniel was at Nadine's birthday and I'll never forget the conversation we had and how his wit and humour made me laugh. His smile and laughter are two things I'll keep with me forever. He has touched our lives and he will be missed so much.

Dan was the most inspiring and intelligent person that I've ever had a chance to meet. He always had a smile. I wish I had the chance to get to know him even more. I send my condolences to the Harrison Family. The tremendous amount of respect for him will live on.

"Dan the Man" - that's what he was known as in our house.



Every time Dan came over with that great big smile, he took the time to talk to us, his friend’s parents, and brother and sister - he truly cared what you said. He made everyone feel special – only very exceptional people can do that. We are honored that we got to know him and that he was such a very special friend to our son, Joel. A great sadness has fallen on our home this week as well as many tears shed. A special angel watches over us now.



We send our heartfelt sympathies to Dan's family and his many, many friends.

Dan – it was an honor to know you.

Colette Martin

Dan was an amazing person, watching his success made others around him strive for more. I did not know Dan extremly well but he was in most of my classes at Riverdale and i cannot get his smile out of my mind. His drive and determination has inspired me,he was a great role model for anyone he came into contact with.I wish i could have told him how much i truly respected him, but i am sure he can hear us all from where he is...G-d must have needed another angel and he chose the best you could ever find.

Simply not fair, Daniel was too wonderful a person to be gone this early. It's a terrible loss for everyone who loved him and also for those who never had the pleasure of meeting him. We're all going to miss him.

I knew you so little, more so when I left to the U.S. with my family. You and I shared the same birthday, man. We also share the same intellect, views, and beliefs. If I had another chance, I would want to know even more about you. I send my condolences to his family and to the rest of my family tree, for we are cousins. I hope I can live to be just like you...

It’s been six years since we’ve seen Daniel and yet it only seems like yesterday that we were watching him play with his siblings and his cousins. Daniel we love you and we will miss you. You were taken too soon, and we know that God selects only the most beautiful and brilliant flowers for his garden.

I will always remember Daniel for his sincerity, warmth and genuine caring for others. He truly was one of the greatest guys I ever had the honor of knowing. To me, Daniel and Ian are not like family; they ARE family. I love you Dan, miss your smile and just as everyone else, my only wish would have been to have spent more time around you. Your positive attitude and the way in which you touched all those around you will never be forgotten.

Although I only met Daniel a couple of times, he seemed as special a person as his brother Ian. He was also a dear friend of my sons, Michael and Jordan. I have not, to this day, witnessed my sons so sad and distraught as they are over his loss. I pray that God bring comfort to all Daniel's loved ones left behind. He is in a much better place than we are!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Dan was. Throughout his life, he has touched every person's life as if he had been sent as their Angel. The best of role model's, an inspration, a thoughtful leader, and most importantly, a great friend. I had the joy of getting to know Dan well in high school, and I know the impact he has had on everyone. My deepest sympathy goes out to anyone grieving his loss, as he will be missed by many. You will be in everyone's hearts and minds forever, shining a little light on every single day.

My deepest sympathy to the Harrison family. As Daniel's former teacher I could only say that he was an inspiration to every student and respected by every teacher. His intelligence and charm made him an exceptional young man. Daniel touched the hearts of anyone who knew him. May the family be spared any further sorrow. G-d has truly taken "the best".

Jordan Ishak

Daniel, I never got the chance to tell you how much I admire you. We always seem to run into each other for brief conversations, but you have left a deep impression on me. Your interest in business, your love for sports, your level-headedness, your sense of humour, your relationship with your brother... I felt we were so similar, and I knew we would hit it off someday. I still know we will man, just in a different place. I'm gonna miss you man, more than you ever could have known.

Javid Langlois

October 5, 2005

Daniel - I was probably asleep the few times we met but my parents have told me what a kind, generous and wonderful person you were. I am sad that I will not get to know you and learn from you. Although your time here has ended, mine is just beginning and I will do my best to give your family something to smile about. I hope that when they look into my eyes they will remember how beautiful and wonderful life can be and how blessed they were that God put you on their path for 21 years.

I can't believe you're gone D, your absence is beyond my comprehension. Words cannot describe what you mean to me, I'll forever cherish our friendship and the endless number of memories we've shared. You were my Angel on Earth, always guiding me in the right direction and for that I will never be able to thank you enough. Now, you're my Angel Up There, looking down with that sunshine smile of yours. I love you D, and will miss you like crazy. Hope that we shall meet again someday.

As Daniel’s roommate I have the honour of spending quality time with him on a daily basis and since we have been living together I have come to realize what an incredible young man he is. He is extremely intelligent and blessed with a kind and considerate heart and I am in awe and in admiration of him as he inspires me to become a better person. I love and miss you buddy, I am still in denial you are gone, this is so unfair; I can’t help but use the present tense to describe you. You will be missed more than you can imagine… you da man. If in the future I were to have a son, I would want him to be just like you; I can not come up with a better compliment than that.

Daniel was an amazing individual and touched so many around him. His presence brought so much joy to everyone. He was a true friend and will always be in my mind and in my heart, because he only left me with good memories. I learned so much from this wise, young man, and I will continue to apply what I learned from him. It was an honour to be associated with this individual. I send my condolences out to his family, and I pray for them and for all of us to get through this.
