Tribute to Daniel Money 1998 - 2025

Dan always knew how to make people feel seen 🙏🏽 I think about how I would like to make people that way as I go about my daily life. To lift people up and help them Always inspired by his kindness 🥰

Christmas Dinner with all the family...a year ago today. It was so lovely to have everyone here...Reb took the photo and Arlo must have been in the garden. Daniel you will never be forgotten, you are always in our hearts and we will carry your lovely smile and kindness wherever we go. All my love Mum xxx

My memories of Daniel are as a little boy at playgroup. He was a lovely, gentle soul,and it was an honour and a privilege to have known him, albeit for a brief time of his life. He touched a lot of hearts and my heart goes out to all his lovely friends and wonderful family. Grief is a very bumpy ride , but one thing is certain, and that is that cherished memories live on forever,and memories of Daniel will always make us smile.

Daniel the Christmas artist! Joe Daniel and Freya used to draw their own Christmas cards to send to friends and family. Daniel's were very detailed, neat and his sense of humour always shone through! Look out for the gym based one!

As Christmas eve comes to an end, I remember the fun Christmas memories I have of Dan. I remember him trying camembert and stating 'it tastes better than it smells'! Dan was the most amazing support for me during hard times and I don't think I will ever meet anyone quite like him again or have the pleasure to call them my friend again. This includes my amazing support crew for the Birmingham half marathon in 2024 where seeing Dan and others in Selly Oak spurred me to carry on. The hug we shared at the finish line I will always remember. X

Thanks for so many wonderful memories Daniel both on the court and off the court. You always set such a wonderful example to everyone. Polite, funny, humble, kind and an absolute joy to be around. Thinking of you, your lovely family and friends as always this Christmas.

Remembering many lovely family holidays with Daniel ... especially Woolacombe of course but also our newer tradition of a family camp at Eweleaze Farm. Looking at photos recently reminded me of one blowy, chilly evening, all huddled round under a shelter with Tom leading the singing of sea shantys and Daniel loving it and laughing so much. Keep laughing Dan xx

My memories of Dan start with family holidays away in Port Eynon, family gatherings and many other happy childhood memories. Progressing into playing hockey together for both school and Keynsham, and enjoying a tour down to Truro. Dan was such a lovely man, and so incredibly funny x

To Dan. It’s Christmas Eve today and tomorrow you’ll be happy to know will still be spent with our family playing games, laughing with (and at) each other, counting how many items of new clothing we’re wearing (as you know, the moneys have been reigning champions for a number of years now and I can’t see that changing). Taking the dogs out for a nice stroll. Eating food everyone has helped to prepare. We’ll make sure to talk about you, remember the memories, remember your laugh and smile and all the years we were able to spend Christmas Day all together. It won’t ever be the same, but you will always be at the table with us. Love Tom.

When I think of Dan, I’m instantly taken back to our childhood; together at sports clubs, at each others houses playing, and enjoying our favourite meal - chicken nuggets, super noodles and beans (he was the only person I could truly share my food fussiness with). Dan was such a constant in my early life - as well as so many of our friends - in ways I never truly appreciated or realised. Thank you, Dan❤️

I will always laugh when I think about the time Rhi and I were sat in the front of the car, with Albie and Dan like naughty school kids in the back, on our way to a UBMSHC hockey tour. Dan was finally given a go on the aux and played all his dad music that none of us knew and he solo air drummed in the back having the time of his life! He wasn't allowed the aux cable again!!!

My little Friday afternoon visitor - every week Daniel came home with my Dan for tea before cricket. Probably my easiest dinner guest because the two Daniels were such fussy eaters - Friday was nuggets and chicken super noodles - every week without fail and then straight into their whites and across the road for cricket xx

Remembering the 27 Christmases we were lucky enough to share with Daniel and the very special Christmas in 2024 when we were joined by the amazing Abbie and Arlo. So many happy, funny and wonderful times. Please add your Christmas thoughts and photos

It’s been over 3 months now and I’ve been thinking of you a lot recently, so I thought I’d finally leave some thoughts there. You were, and will continue to be, such a valuable person in my life. Your kindness and generosity knew no bounds, and you improved the lives of all those who were fortunate enough to know you. You were an invaluable friend, teacher and role model, and I will carry forward the lessons and knowledge you gave me for the rest of my life. While we initially met when I was a medical student, I am now a Doctor and aim to help others in the same way that you helped me, by passing on not only knowledge to the generations below me, but also the endless compassion that you showed towards your patients. You were so special and with each day that passes, I hope that your impact on the world will grow stronger even if you are not physically here to witness it yourself. I love you so much and I’m so lucky to have had you as a friend in my life.

Dan, thank you for giving me the privilege of this friendship for 7 years. You have been one of my closest friends from uni - been by my side through thick and thin One of the memories that strikes me was when we had resit OSCEs and I was feeling a bit demotivated but you were like “come on Shilpi we got this”. That camaraderie, that refusal to let anyone be left behind, captured who you were. You made a lifetime of an impact with your magnificent personality - intelligence, stoicism, kindness and humour. I wish you knew how much joy and light you brought to your friends Your friendship has taught me so much and continues to inspire me to be a better person I will miss you very much ❤️🙏🏽

Dan was one of the genuine people. He’ll be so missed by everyone who knew him. I think back on all the hours Dan was part of our lift shares and a passenger in our car to various sports activities, Tennis lessons, cricket events. He was a pleasure to know (the funny Money) and a very kind person. I think Jack sat next to Dan in many a class lesson where the competitive sides showed for both of them; who could finish the class work first and who could get their homework completed (before the class finished). Dan was a big part of that friendship group and I’ll always be thankful that he was Jack’s friend from infants through to finishing their A Levels and beyond. He was one to treasure and very much loved.

Dan was a shining light at MedSoc tennis. His love of life and tennis was clear to see and he brought this love to all of our practices and socials. When he joined the club he brought a new energy and some much needed tennis skills! I’ll always remember our sports night fancy dress themed nights and tennis tours across the UK made all the more fun by Dan’s enthusiasm for tennis and a night out! He will be hugely missed.

I was Daniel’s headteacher at Wellsway School and had the privilege of seeing him grow and develop from a shy 11 year old into a confident and extremely talented 18 year old. I remember his lovely smile and quiet determination. He worked hard and excelled in both his studies and in sport, particularly tennis. He was always very modest however and was an absolute joy to teach. I remember how delighted we all were when he achieved his dream of studying medicine. I write this with great sadness and my thoughts are with Daniel’s family and friends as they mourn his loss and celebrate his life.

Well, so many lovely memories of Daniel, both as a child and then growing up into the beautiful young man he became. He was a key part of our family, particularly the cousins clan, and will be so missed by us all - for his humour, wit and smiley face. Daniel was loved by many - and was so strong all through his illness, thinking always of everyone around him. I have many lovely memories .. but I'll particularly miss those Dan hugs which often had to be grabbed when he wasnt expecting them. I'm sure he enjoyed them really! Go safely Daniel ❤️

Bath Tennis Club…. I first met Daniel when he was about 7 years old. Whenever we had a tennis lesson he would always wear his Harry Potter hat. It was quite clear right from the start that he was very talented and had a very, very good work ethic. More importantly though he always had a smile on his face and was an absolute joy to coach. He always kept me on my toes mind you with his wonderful wit and good humour. I can honestly say I’m a much better person for knowing Daniel. A great, great guy.

I will always remember Dan as a wonderful “Cheeky Chappie” who I had the pleasure of teaching at Chandag. He always came into the classroom with a smile on his face and a desire to learn. His enthusiasm and wonderful sense of humour was mature way beyond his years! It has been wonderful to hear of his achievements over the years and his choice of career reflected the kindness and empathy that he demonstrated even at such a young age. It was a privilege to have taught him and my deepest sympathies go to Sarah, Colin, Joe, Freya, Abbie and his wider circle of family and friends. Taken far too soon.

Dan was one of the first people I remember meeting when I joined Birmingham University. I remember him leading whizz at Circo after the Fresher’s hockey training session. He was such a light and he had a way of making every situation funny. From being a role model defender, a questionable boat race companion and a safe shoulder to lean on, Dan was such a presence on and off the pitch. I know lots of us will remember Dan with a smile on his face and love in our hearts.

Since the day I met Dan he was nothing short of an incredibly kind and generous man in everything he did. He taught me many lessons in our shared time at uni but the one that sticks with me the most is just to enjoy everything you do and spread that joy with others. I will always remember him for his incredible dance moves in Fab and his ability to always have a VK in hand in beorma but especially for his ability to always bring out the best in everyone around him. I will miss him and his smile dearly!

Dan is the first face I remember when joining Birmingham Medics hockey as a first year in covid time. He was immediately so welcoming, warm and immensely funny that I can remember it vividly almost 6 years on. He had a special way to make everyone feel valued when in his company which I'm sure will be sorely missed by all those who had the pleasure of spending time with him.
