Sa velikom tugom sam dobio vest I ovim putem zelim da izjavim saucesce ozaloscenoj suprugi I sinu.
Porodica Radojkovic is Victoria BC
Dan was the type of man to stop what he was doing every single day and bring lunch to his son at work. ( being his coworker Dan would bring me lunch aswell) that’s just how he was .
You can tell , being a father was something he was very proud of and his family always came first .
I’ll forever remember the small conversations we had and the kindness he carried himself with .
Rest in peace , your memory is eternal
Dan was a family man above all else. Although he has left us suddenly, a part of him remains in his children and in our hearts and memories. Rest easy.
Primite iskreno saučešće od Milana i Ljiljane Jovanović sa porodicom.
Dan,
I remember when I first met you, standing in the Bay Centre Mall looking over at you and Milena, anxious, alone, and not sure what to do. When you noticed me, it was an immediate smile and sense of welcome that I felt. You and your family showed me such love and support that I will never forget. You were always so kind, thoughtful, and caring…even when you were upset you were always fair. You will be be missed dearly, and you are loved even more.
Until we meet again my friend…
I got to know Dan and Milena from Opa before they introduced me to their son Marko who became one of my best friend over the years and I built a close relationship with them. My biggest regret was not being able to be there for them get to see Dan as I was myself in process to leave the country.
However I will always cherish great memories from this hard working man. Every time I come to Opa, he would never let me pay and we would indulge into boxing conversations and him telling me about his plans to move back home and going on holiday. He always made me feel special when he talks to me and I could have even here his exact voice as I am writing this and greeting me saying “ Hey buddy, how you been?”. Dan was an inspiration for many as an immigrant who came to this country and became successful by working very hard for him and his family. He always had this this smile on his face and I love listening to his stories about life back home and for me it was an absolute privilege to get to know someone like him over the time I’ve been to Canada. He will be missed a lot and all my condolences to his family.
To Milena and Marko I might be far away from you now but we are friends for life and all of you are amazing people! Stay strong and God will heal everything.
Rest In Paradise Dan Miljevic ❤️❤️❤️
Prijatelju moj,
Tuzan i slomljenog srca ti pisem poslednji pozdrav.
Od 17. Decembra kad je pocela tvoja borba, molio sam se Bogu da jos dugo budemo zajedno. Nasmijani i srecni, kao od prvog dana od kad smo se upoznali. Ali kazu da Bog uzima najbolje. I uzeo je najboljeg medju nama. Siguran sam da je za tebe, covjeka sa najvecim srcem, imao neko bolje mjesto u Raju.
Kume, HVALA TI! Cast je imati takvog covjeka u zivotu kao prijatelja! Pravog i iskrenog! Hvala ti na svakom trenutku provedenim sa tobom. Svaku sekundu u koju sam osjecao toplinu i ljubav, cak i u tudjini, daleko od porodice.
Dok god moje srce kuca, cuvat cu te od zaborava!
Pocivaj u miru.
Tvoj Daco.
Ode nam prerano brate
Uvjek u našim srcima
Neka tvoja duša nadje mir
Tog 21.1.2023.godine, stiže vijest da je prestalo da kuca veliko srce Slobovo. Sa nevjericom gledamo, ne vjerujemo, da je sudbina tako surova, da je mogla tako brzo da ga povede. Nadali smo se da će se čovjek blagih crta i velikog srca oporaviti, da će se vratiti svojoj kući, svojim najmilijima. Ali…sudbina je htjela drugačije.
Žao nam je. Žao nam je i što ne možemo u ovim teškim trenucima biti sa vama da podijelimo bol i da ga ispratimo na vječni put.
Primite iskreno saučešće, od porodice Raičević
Primite moje iskreno saučešće za vašim sinom, suprugom, ocem i bratom Slobodanom.
