Bill, Wanda, Brenda, and family: I wanted to add my heartfelt condolences to you after Danny's passing. I will always remember the time Danny and I spent together in our youth, his friendship and laughter, the music and dancing, and our many many happy times together with our inseperable youth group. We all went our different paths, but none of us will forget the impression Danny made in our lives!

I think he was probably one of the nicest men that i've ever met. I met him at Casino Regina years ago where we played poker numerous times together. He will still always have the winning hand

I didn't know Dan very well, but he was the kind of guy you could not see for a few months and then just pick up where you left off. Mosaic won't be the same without him. You are in my thoughts....

Dear Wanda and family;
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your son. Daniel was our piper at my mother and father's funeral in January 2006. He played beautifully and it was an absolute honour for our family to have him attend this funeral

It is of great sadness that I learned of Danny's passing. I was away, out of town, until Friday, March 28th and learned about his passing upon my return to the city. Danny and I played volleyball together and we became friends. I just can't believe he has left us but pray that where he is there is peace and love. My best wishes go to his family and friends. I will miss you bud, always.

I was saddened to hear of Dan's passing. He was truly a great human being, full of compassion for others, and willing to do anything to help a friend who was in need. I'll always keep the good memories of good times with Dan close to my heart, and remember him for the amazing musical gift he was given. He was an amazing piper, and an amazing person, who will truly be missed.

Wanda, Bill, Brenda and the rest of the Matheson family.
Dear folks
It is with much sadness that we send this note to you about the so very tragic loss of Danny. I'm having a very difficult time putting into words how I feel about the loss of such a fine person.
We lived in Regina for several years back in the early 80's and have always felt a great respect and feeling towards such a wonderful family of which Danny was a big part of.
Danny had great ability as a musician, a talent and love for his music, and this was evident by his dedication to the people that he has encouraged through the years in the Regina area. I know that his legacy will continue for many years to come, and that future pipers will strive to improve, and will always look back on the vibrancy, love and hard work that Danny gave towards people, life, and his feelings for the Celtic music.
We feel a huge sadness for your loss, and it is a loss to many people, and difficult as it might be, we should maybe try to celebrate the legacy that Danny has left those that he has helped. A really fine person who cared about others.
Our thoughts and feelings are with you all at this very difficult time. You should all be very proud of the many wonderful things that were 'Danny!'
All our love,
Iain, Charlotte, Katie & Calum (MacCrimmons - Monifieth, Scotland)

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rain fall softly upon your fields until we meet again,
And may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
To the Matheson family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dan you will be forever missed, but your teachings as a Pipe Major and instructor, and your smile, laughter, and encouragement as a friend will be remembered forever.
Slan go foill
Goodbye for now...

It is through tears I express my deepest sympathy to Danny's family. I knew Danny well in our teen and young adult years and count myself blessed to have known him. I see others have mentioned Danny's wonderful laugh. That is, perhaps, my strongest memory of Danny - him throwing his head back and roaring that great laugh of his. What fun he was. We had so many great times with Danny in our group of friends. Danny was always so fun, kind, helpful, creative, and wonderfully goofy.
May the Lord be with you in this very difficult time. Please know many people are thinking of you and praying for the Lord to comfort you while you grieve the loss of this wonderful man.

I Had the honor of knowing and having Danny as a friend. I have also had the honor of hearing his wonderful pipe music. I attended the Scottish pavilion when possible to listen Danny play. My pryers are with your family and with my friend Danny. He will be miss very much by all who knew and loved him.

We were very sad to hear about Danny's tragic passing. I first knew Danny when I returned to Regina in 1983. I enjoyed many years instructing and playing in various pipe bands with him. In more recent years I always enjoyed running into him around Regina. I will remember him as a very talented piper and very special person and I will miss seeing him around town.

Wanda and Family,
I am deeply sorry about the dreadful loss of Danny. I fondly remember Danny from his days as a youth when he associated with Grant, Sheila, Bonnie Gilmour and others. It was always a pleasure to have him in our home. He was fun-loving and always polite and well-mannered. He will be greatly missed. I extend my most sincere sympathies.

To Danny's Family: We were so sorry to learn of Danny's death. I had only known Danny for a few years but always enjoyed his company. I played volleyball with him for a couple of seasons; he was a great help to my partner Todd and I in selecting new furniture for our new home and he had begun to help me on my path to learning to play the bagpipes. His loss is a very sad thing.

Our hearts go out to the Matheson family and all of Danny's friends. I will always remember Danny for his infectious smile and brilliant laugh. Dan was an amazing piper and his passion is carried on by his students; there's a bit of Danny in each and everyone he taught. But you didn't have to be a piper to benefit from Danny's gifts for he was an enthusiastic band leader and always had time for us drummers. Our thoughts will be with you on the 28th.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I went to university with Danny and loved spending time with him as he always made everything that much more fun and funnier!!! My biggest regret is that I didn't keep in touch with him in the past many years. He obviously had a huge impact on everyone he knew and will be dearly missed!

My deepest condolences to Danny's family at this extremely difficult time. We grew up in the same neighbourhood and became reacquainted in 2005 when Danny played the pipes at the funeral for my father (Jack Young). This is a true tragedy for one in the prime of his life.

Bill, Wanda, Bren... My heart is with your family at this time of great loss. Danny was such a wonderful friend over the years, his laugh and sense of humour was ever present. Movies, great meals, conversation and just hanging out hold some lasting memories. He always played "that song" for me on the chanter, one I never knew the name of but he always knew which one. May we all find peace through this loss of a truly good person and friend.
