At the age of 56, Daniel Nancoo passed into eternity on March 23, 2018. Daniel was a wonderful husband to Tammy, a loving Dad to Nic, doting father in law to Karly and the proudest grandpapa to his precious Saretta. He was a son to Janet and Horace, brother to Ian,Marita and Ferdie, son in law to "Moms Megan" , brother in law, nephew, cousin and a loyal friend to many.
Daniel was a passionate follower of Jesus Christ. He never wavered in his confidence in Jesus' love for him, even when his cancer was aggressive and uncontrollable. He said, "I would have liked to live in this body a good few years yet but I am in the Lord's hands." He passed from this world to the next with a peace that passes understanding.
Daniel was born and raised in Trinidad. Given a trumpet by his Uncle Ivan at the age of 12, Daniel discovered a passion and a gift for music that he would follow his entire life. As a member of several Soca bands, Dan toured England, Columbia, United States and Canada.
It was Canada and one particular red head that would capture his heart and he became a man who loved winter and a citizen of his new home country. Dan continued to play with several bands in Canada and even more in the music ministry at Trinity Streetsville. With his keen ear and gift for improvisation, Dan was often invited to play with other musicians when he and Tammy traveled.
Dan and Tammy built a wonderful life and a business together producing dance costumes for dance schools across Canada. With that, came another family...the Jazzamatazz family, who will miss Daniel dearly.
Daniel was a wise, gentle, soft spoken, loving man who will be greatly missed by friends, family, church family and work family.
