Daniel Harly Wood, beloved husband of Renée Pittet-Wood, devoted father of Audrey and loving son to Steve and Sharon Wood passed away on December 26, 2014 at the age of 40 years. He is lovingly remembered by his sister Carly, his brother in law Neil, niece Taylor, nephew Lane, honorary brother Jason Mathis, Reneé’s parents Rollie and Donna, brother in laws Richard, Jamie and Sebastien, sister in laws Nadine, Michelle and Cora, nephew Zachery as well as all who loved him.

Dan bravely battled cancer with strength,dignity and a determination that inspired us all. He lived life fully until the end and passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family and friends.

He simply loved being with people and was as Renée called him “Fun Bobby”. Always quick to get in on a card game, talk sports with anyone who would listen and sing and dance uninhibited with Audrey around the house.

In order to be true to who he was a Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday January 2nd 2015 at the Jack Singer Concert Hall in Calgary, Alberta. This location was chosen in order to accommodate anyone and everyone that new him and his family. So please join us, wear your sport team pride and be ready to sing, laugh, cry and celebrate his life with all who new and loved him.

As much as Renée loves flowers, Dan did not. He didn’t see the logic in spending the money when they wouldn’t last. So in lieu of flowers, friends who wish to do so may make a donation for trust and support for Audrey through the following link

About Dan

I am an average guy battling a not so average disease called Stage 4 Colon Cancer. I was born in 1974 in Richmond, BC and moved to Calgary, AB in 1986 - where I still reside. I started this blog in November of 2013. So I have some catching up to do. I write this for my many wonderful family members and friends who have supported me throughout my life. But, appreciation beyond words goes to my wife, my mom, my dad and my sister. You are my sole. Most importantly this is for my daughter. My little rumplebum. To share in parts of my life's journey once you are old enough and to remember our time together. I love all of you, Dan
