NIEUWESTEEG, Daniel « Dan » – Our dearest Dan passed away peacefully on November 16th, 2021 at the young age of 42 as a result of a stroke that he could not recover from. Dan was a star whose light shone brilliantly on all who embraced his presence. Dan was an actor, master story teller, musician, animal lover, and the best comedic relief that anyone could ask for. He was a best friend to many. Our gratitude goes out to the efforts put forth by all of the extremely caring team at the Hamilton General Hospital. Dan will be sorely missed by his parents Jean and Hein; sister Rachael Gignac (Alain); son Aidan and daughter Rhyan; Aunt Joyce McKenzie , Aunt Betty Bailey, Aunt Dawn Nieuwesteeg (Terry), Aunt Joyce Nieuwesteeg, Aunt Mara Matson (John) , Uncle Rene Nieuwesteeg (Mary Ann), Uncle Leo (Cheryl), and Aunt Anne McKenzie; nephew Andre Gignac, niece Lily Gignac; cousins Jonathan Matson (Hayley), Dana Matson (Adam), Heather Kelly (Nick), Michelle Todd (Peter), Tiffany Cancian (Kevin), Grace Siobhan McKenzie, Sarah Bailey, Carson Kivari, Tara Nieuwesteeg (Mike), Travis Nieuwesteeg, Justin Nieuwesteeg, Lorne Friesman, as well many great aunts and uncles, second cousins, extended family and dear friends Jeff Warriner, Dick and Sandy Detenbeck. Dan rejoins his grandparents Alex and Lilian « Joyce » McKenzie and Jan and Henny Nieuwesteeg, Aunt Chrissy McKenzie, Aunt Mary McKenzie and dear friend Chris Wenger.
