My deepest condolences to Rhian’s family & loved one’s. He was such a great guy. I have many fond memories of spending time with him & Mary on the pontoon, watching Packer games, & how can I ever forget trying to put that lamp back together. Not an easy task but Rhian never gave up. Rhian was always willing to help others and did so with a smile. When I was selling my old house & buying another, he was right there willing to help me anyway he could. What a tremendous loss for anyone who knew him! May you be at peace now! God’s speed Rhian! I will miss you!

I am a friend of Rhian’s daughter Katie, and want to extend my sympathies to the entire Daniel family and their loved ones. While I unfortunately never had the chance to meet Rhian in person, I have heard about what a wonderful man he was. Katie is a dear friend to me, and I know he father had an impact on the amazing person she is today. Sending my love during this unimaginably difficult time.

My sincere condolences to Rhain’s family. He and Matthew did a number of fantastic jobs for me. In the time he spent working at my house, we became good friends. I could always depend on him and Matt to get the job done right the first. He will be truly missed. Anyone fortunate enough to have known him knows that the world has lost a good man.

I just heard about Rhian’s passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family for their loss. I knew Rhian for only a short time but found him to be a kind and sensitive person who was willing to help others and was always quick with a smile or a chuckle. A life gone too soon – hoping his family may be comforted knowing he is finally resting in peace.
