Daniel’s family have released a statement:

“Our Daniel. Cherished son, brother, brother-in-law and doting uncle to three. At his happiest in a tractor, being filthy dirty with a smoke on and grafting his big gentle heart out.

“If you wanted anything doing ask Dan, he’d help out anyone. Innocent and harmless.

“That big, soft smile Dan. Oh, how we’ll miss it.

“Stolen from us far too young, this wasn’t your time Dan. Shine bright now, you’re with dad.”
