Daniel Stoneham Obituary

I love u uncle

Dearest uncle Dan;
Thinking about how you left so soon and sudden, brings tears to my eyes. We still had so many memories to create, things to laugh at, and now that your not here to help create those memories, it just wont be the same. The other day I was reminiscing about when we all used to drive to Whirinaki together, when we used to tell our jokes in the Marae. All those kinds of things that we will no longer get to share with you. None of it will be the same without you ! Your missed and loved dearly by all your whanau uncle.

dearest dan....i'll always cherish our childhood we cousin's spent growing up together, all the whanau outings, the beach and the parties, oh how we had some awesome parties. i'll always cherish the cricket we cousin's all played in our back yard, remember the hidings we all copped when one off us got into trouble? your cheeky smile and laughter that always made us laugh. i'll cherish that forever!
love you dan x

To hear your voice
To see your smile
To sit and chat with you for a while
To have you back in that same old way
Would be my dearest wish today
I love you more than all the stars in the universe
And more than all the sand on this planet
Moe mai taku tamaiti i to moengaroa Mummy

So sad that you had to go Daniel. May you rest in peace. xo

Brother Dan






Here we all gather alive, well and free
Our hearts wet with weeping
For our tama we can’t see,
Where is our brother, where can he be?
Who takes him from us
Where the sky meets the sea
His time not yet done
His waiata not yet sung
Why has he gone?
Where the moon meets the sun
His soul now is needed somewhere else in the night
To comfort those, that are lost
And guide them with his light
Shine strong bright and proud
For you’re the best of us here
And we’ll sing your song proud so you’ll be heard everywhere
Aroha, aroha, aroha e Tama

Hey my bro. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Make sure you keep up with those weights on that side so when I see next, you will still be looking like ARNOLD.Oh and don't worry bro I will still be "Keeping that weight up"
Much love bro. From the Court Security Boys. "ONE IN ALL IN"

Rest in Peace Daniel. I still remember the days that we bickered about who was really a Whirinesian. No doubt about it we are blood for life. Love you always

Taken from this world far to soon. You will be remembered by all who met you and like me who worked with you.

Much love, Your brothers in arms, The Manukau Court Security Boys (Lenny, Tino, Big Dan, George, Mike, Gaz and Mac)

STONEHAM, Daniel Waata. Died 15 July 2011. You went to your diving course on Friday and you didn't come home. I promised to always be there for you. This is the one time I wasn't. I'm sorry little brother, my heart is in tiny little pieces and my soul searches for you. I miss your voice, your phone calls your messages And most of all I miss you. Your big sister loves you. Love Sheree Stoneham.
