Our precious Dannon died last weekend. She was a free-spirit. Dannon travelled extensively, obtained a university degree from UVIC, spoke three languages, was a diligent and dedicated self-employed mortgage broker, was involved in the community and loved her family. She travelled many directions in both her professional and private life. She never married, and was part of a very small family, her parents, Linda and Bob; her brother, Ashley and her chihuahua, Twig. Dannon’s wish to live an exciting life led her down the path of sorrow when she became involved with drugs and the kind of people involved in the out of control street drug activity. She would want to increase awareness of the insidious form of emotional abuse known as Gaslighting which led to her death and encourage any women who are victims of this horrible psychological manipulation to seek help and leave their relationship immediately.
Dannon will be missed by all those who loved her. We will cherish the 42 years we had with you and will miss you forever our sweet Boog! Private service will be held at a later date. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

My wife and I had met Dannon and a friend of hers at the Hilton in Cancun Mexico about a dozen years ago. She would refer to us as her Indianapolis friends.
We had a great time laughing and enjoying each others company. We would touch base from time to time on Facebook. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. We extend our thoughts and prayers and condolences to her family.

Bob,Linda and Ashley,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Dannon’s passing. I worked with Dannon at Vancity. She was so full of life, always showing up with a beautiful smile ready to take on the day. You always knew when Dannon was in the branch! RIP Dannon. My heart breaks for you, knowing what you were going thru.
My thoughts go out to you Dannon and your family.
I was a coworker from Vancity and a friend of Dannon’s.
Dannon always made me laugh and she had such a beautiful spirit.
I’m sure there is nothing I can say to make the family feel better but I wanted to thank you for being so candid about Dannon’s life. I know that it will make a difference in a lot of other lives.
I am so saddened to hear about my dear childhood friend Dannon. Jill (Hardy) and I heard about the devastating news together and spent the night reminiscing about Dannon and all the fun we had over the years.I first met Dannon when she moved to Kilmer Elementary from Waterloo, Ontario. She joined our Grade 4 class and we instantly became friends. We continued our friendship all the way through Junior high school and spent almost every day together as we were part of a strong and large friend group. We had so many fun and wonderful memories…some that I remember so clearly: playing arcade and pinball machines in your basement as young kids, camping out in your backyard in Grade 6, going to the Grade 7 dances at Hyde Creek, having Melrose Place TV watching nights in your theatre in your house on Warwick, suntanning on your deck and swimming in my pool, walking around the streets of Poco just having laughs and fun, going to Vegas with your family…and the list goes on. Sadly, we drifted apart as we became adults, but the few messages sent back and forth through facebook meant a lot to me. The last message Dannon sent to me was that she “loved seeing my pictures of my family and that she is glad that I am so happy.” This is who Dannon was…caring, smart, kind and just a really great person. I am so upset to hear about the path she was on…and wish that things had happened differently for my friend. Mr. and Mrs. Herr and Ashley, my family and I are sending you so much LOVE and STRENGTH as you mourn the loss of Dannon.
Dannon you will be forever remembered with a smile…until we meet again.
Bob, Linda and Ashley: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I met Ashley through my son, who shared this tribute to Dannon. Although our paths have never crossed, I wanted to thank you for the heartfelt message you wrote. I hope that it touches someone that needs to hear the message and helps them get out of a terrible situation. It sounds like she was an accomplished, lovely woman. She will be missed. Love, Dale
Bob, Linda and Ashley,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dear Linda and Bob, Our family mourns with you. Please know we send our thoughts and love to you all.
I am so sorry to hear of the tragic news about Dannon. We were best friends for many years in Elementary and Jr. High School and I have so many amazing memories that I will always hold dear. Sending love and strength to her family and friends. Heaven has gained another angel all too soon. ❤️ Rest In Peace Dannon.
Although I did not know your daughter I wish to convey my grief for the sadness, loss of a loved one and senselessness of it all. My son recently died of an opiate overdose and really there is no understanding among the street community for the harm and destruction that they do.
Wrap your arms around each other pray for the Creator to protect your loving daughter and hold the memory of her safe in your hearts.
Dear all family and loved ones. Dannon and I were very close, but sadly the relationship had fallen apart. But does not mean I never cared. I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of this bright, young and vigilant person, but may she Rest In Peace now.
