Holland, Daniel Arthur John – aged 61 of Lawrencetown, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on April 18, 2023. Danny will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 37 years, Wendy (White); children, Nicole (Stephen), Stacey, Kevin (Madi); sister, Mary Wolfe; granddaughter, Katherine; nephews, Barry, Ryan and Aden; brother-in-law, Michael (Alicia); and sister-in-law, Shelley (Jim).
Danny was a son of the late Art and Ella Holland, Lawrencetown.
Dan was a red seal Journeyman Carpenter with a strong work ethic. He worked for various construction companies with United Brotherhood of Carpenters Local 83. His latest place of employment was with Halifax Regional Center for Education which he thoroughly enjoyed. He loved the comradery and team work, especially with John, George, Bud and Mike. Dan was proud to receive his 25 year pin as a blood donor with Canadian Blood Services. Dan will be remembered as an easy going and loyal friend to all. His kindness and willingness to help others never went unnoticed. Dan was most proud of his loving family and enjoyed many days of his life watching his children play soccer and football games, and in his later years enjoyed watching NBA Raptors games. Dan loved hunting and fishing, and helping out his fellow neighbors with odd jobs, or just to lend a hand. Dan lived a simple life with good friends, a job he enjoyed and loved, enjoyed his treats and being outdoors. He will forever be remembered in our hearts as a kind and gentle soul. We love you, Dad.
His family extends a special thanks to Dr. John Booth, Dr. A. Jad (General Surgery), Dr. D. French (Thoracic Surgery), Dr. S. General (Palliative Care) and Thea Meeson (Palliative Care RN) for their love, care and support shown to Dan and his family during this most difficult time.
