Daniel Beau Goymer

Daniel Beau Goymer was my son, a brother to Luke & Bonnie (Lukes wife) and Alana & Jamie
(Alanas partner), half brother to Billie & Adam (Billies husband) and a very special uncle to
Jamie (8), Mitchell (7), Harvey (5), Zak (5), Danielle (2) joy(2) and newborn baby phoebe

He lived with me, his very proud mum, at the Windmill public house in Dartford and tragically died
at home on 31st May 2004 from a stomach hemorrhage. Daniels death was very unexpected and he has
left behind a huge void in all of our lives.

Daniel was my oldest child but I was most protective of him because he suffered from depression and
other mental health issues. He could be hard work at times, as all children can but I'd go
through it all again just to have him back here with me. Daniel loved a drink and I'm sad to
say that I feel this contributed to his mental health problems and almost certainly towards his
death.

He was such a gentle giant, but did have an unpredictable nature...especially if he felt i was
nagging him, he found it difficult to control his temper at times but was always very sorry and
would cry after one of his outbursts. From the photo's you can see the size of my very special
man but believe it or not he was afraid of spiders...

When Daniel was having a good day he had a wonderful sense of humour. He loved music, he loved
films, he loved Only Fools and Horses and he also loved to read.

Daniel had a few good friends who understood him, and would always listen to him without fail and to
those people I am thankful. He was well liked by the customers which was probably just as well
because I think he would have driven them mad with his jokes otherwise.... Daniel loved to make
people laugh!

I'll never forget how overprotective he was of me. He would stay awake all night and go to bed
when I got up in the morning just to make sure i was safe. Daniel meant everything to me then, and
he still does now and i would have travelled to the end of the earth and back if it meant my darling
son could have led a normal life.

For Daniel:
Part of me died with you that day, I still love you as much now as I did then and not a day goes by
when I don't think of you. Stay safe sweet Angel x x x
Taken early to be an angel x x x

My darling daniel,
So much to say but cant do it and make sense to anyone who didnt know you so this is straight from
my heart.
3 Years ago on a glorious sunny morning at 6.31am you were pronounced dead,a day that changed our
lives forever,i must have had a premonition as the night before i slept in the bedroom next to yours
which i never did.
All day long people were coming and going,not saying a word,just paying their respects to
you,unnoticed really by all of us,pouring theirselves a drink and just sitting and giving us the
occasional hug,most of them turned out to be a godsend but the odd one or two said things and did
things that i will never forgive them for.....
The next two weeks went by in a blur,looking out of windows when there was nothing to look at,trying
to sort out music that we all wanted,evenings round lukes continually playing songs and of course
drinking because we all thought it helped when really it just numbed the pain..then the day when you
were finally at the chapel of rest and the lovely lady carole,what an amazing lady she was,Daniel
you just looked asleep,i rubbed some of the horrible powder off of your head and felt your chest,i
was convinced you were still with us.
Then the funeral,daniel if you could have been at your own funeral you would still be talking about
it,people lined the street down the side of the windmill,and eltham crematorium was packed,all your
friends were listening outside,the service was just how you would have wanted it,people laughed and
people cried,the choice of music was perfect,but for luke i wish we had" wish you were
here" by floyd.The day ended with everyone in the windmill,our home,never before has the
windmill had 200 people in it,you were loved by many daniel.
What i wouldnt give to go back in time,to feel you,to hear you and see your beautifull smile just
once more,to tell you exactly how much you are loved.....
What i wouldnt give to go back that little bit further,to help you along the way,encourage you to do
things differently,to show you how much i care....
This is my dedication to my wonderfull mitchelin man...my son daniel.
I love you now and always daniel x x x x x x

For my remaining children and their partners,i love you all immensely and thank you for being there
for me x x x x x x
