In Celebration of

Peter Daniel "Danny" George

February 13, 1956 - March 6, 2019

The family of Danny George is saddened to announce Danny's passing, peacefully, on March 6, 2019 at St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto. Danny had just celebrated his 63rd birthday, but had suffered, in these last months, from failing health. He is survived by his sister Mary-Ann, brother-in-law Fraser Scott, and nieces Torie and Hallie. Pre-deceased by his loving father Joseph, mother Gladys, Aunt Khanna and Uncle Tom Condon. As a person with Down Syndrome, Danny had many challenges in his life, but his journey was supported wonderfully by his family and friends, as well as all the exceptionally caring staff and peers in the programs provided by Community Living Toronto. The value of these programs cannot be overstated, and it is the family's wish that any charitable donations be directed to Community Living Toronto in Danny's memory. The family also wishes to thank the staff at Lakeshore Lodge and St. Joseph's Health Centre for their care and consideration in Danny's last months.

Dear Danny : " Danny, I remember the day you were born. I was in the front yard, at 128 Milton Street and my Mom yelled out that Glady had a boy. Then Mary-Ann came along and you had a sister and so did I. Our families did everything together and you were just like a brother to me. I loved you then and I do now. Accept now you're in Heaven where you are perfect in every way. I can't wait to see you when I arrive there. I am so thankful that your Mom and Dad and Mary-Ann cared for you every day of your life. I remember when you prayed that my Mom would be healed of cancer and she was! Your faith was simple and uncluttered. I still love you Danny and I know you are alive and well in Heaven. See you soon. Love from your surrogate brother, Gordy. "

Maryann I was so sorry to hear of Danny's passing. You and your parents looked after him with such kindness and gentleness. I remember how your Dad used to take him aside and talk to him when you joined us at our trips to Midhurst. It was challenging for you but you managed very well. I know he will be missed. I hope you are all well. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the funeral as we now live 3 + hours away but our prayers are with you. Judy

I have known Danny for many years and have enjoyed being a part of his care and his life. I have many great memories of his amazing birthdays at Tucker's Market Place with his loving family. I will miss Danny's great sense of humor and his bright smile, especially when enjoying a burger or bowling with his friends. I will miss you and the good laughs we have shared over the years. Rest in peace my friend.
