My heart goes out to all of Danny’s loved ones who are mourning his passing today. I know it’s hard but treasure the memories in your heart and look forward to being reunited with him in the hereafter. ❤️

My deepest condolences to Shelia and the Simpson Family.  Danny was a faithful, supportive,  friend to the end.  When Danny and Shelia moved to Florida I thought I would loose a friend but no, Danny would call and keep in touch.  He would just call to see if I was alright and doing well.  I will miss my calls but Shelia we will have our calls still.  May God continue to give you the strength that you.  Blessings 

Diane Phillips xoxo🙏🏾🙏🏾

I want to share how very sorry we are for your loss 
Rest in Eternal Peace Danny!

Kindest regards

My deepest sympathy to the Simpson's Family . May God grant unto you Comfort, Strength , and Peace during this difficult time of sorrow 🙏🙏💕💕💐💐

Condolences to the entire Simpson family and friends on the passing of my dear friend Donovan (Danny to so many of us). I am so sorry to hear about his passing. 

I consider it an honour and a privilege to have been his friend for the past forty years. He loved to laugh, especially at himself. And he could tease and needle, but never out of malice, because, as a man born in the Jamaican Parish of Clarendon, he knew that malice rusty up the vessel it is carried in.

I had so much admiration for my friend, because he, like many of his family members, never gave in to the temptation to follow the easy and familiar paths of personal ambition and financial success. But, instead relied on the entrepreneurship that was embedded in his DNA and that of many of his family members. He knew, as most hard-working Jamaicans would know, that you had to put in, in order to take out.

I have so many fond memories of the times we spent in each other’s company, whether it was socializing or whether it was in the company of his dear cousin Ralph or friends such as Ernie Newman, Lloyd Reynolds and Pert Newman to name a few. There are so many nice stories that could be told, but so little time to talk about them.

May my friend Rest in Peace.

Danny - May you Rest In Peace, enveloped in the arms of God.
Your memory will never fade and we will treasure knowing you 
forever.  Our love is for always and ever.  

Sharon and all your McLean cousins.

Our deepest condolences to the Simpson Family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please find comfort in the memories you all shared.  Danny, may your soul rest in peace .

Sincere Condolence to the Simpson Family on the Transition of Donovan or "Danny", as we all call him. Hope the the support of well wishers and friends will bring some level of comfort to the Family. 
From the Allison and Galbraith Families.

My sincere condolences to the Simpson family for the loss of Donovan Simpson. Coming from Dexter Galbraith. He was a real big brother from what I heard and I was really hoping to meet him one day but God knows best. May his soul rest in peace. God bless.

My cousin Donovan Simpson AKA Danny was an adventurous, kind, loving and meak man. Even though he had a calm demeanor and I think he could be characterized as an introvert he could "think on his feet" and solve a problem very fast. As a child he learned to drive his parent's 25 ton truck very well at age 14 years old and could sell customers who would come to buy groceries in his patents Grocery Store.
     On one occasion he was driving the truck solo at age 14 and he gave me a ride home. This one mile journey was a very winding,
 rugged and hilly terrain yet he made the journey safely. 
     Later on in his life he became a successful Trucker in Canada. We will surely miss him and fell sure his spirit will rest in Heaven !!
Am sorry I couldn't attend his funeral due  to unforeseen circumstances !!

My deepest condolences to the Simpson family. May your memories bring you peace in this difficult time.🙏🏾

Dearest Family & Beloved Shelia,

My sister, Sharon & I (Monica), and the rest of family send our deepest condolences to the passing of our beloved cousin Danny.

We miss him, and I miss sending him my daily prayers, and text messages, and receiving his phone calls.  He was a humble man of few words, but his words were heartfelt. 
Rest In Peace, Cuz.

Prayers and love to the grieving Simpson family and friends. He has gone the way of all men but will not be forgotten. Rest well  Danny

Will miss you very much may you rest in peace. May God give your family Peace and Strength and always remember you with loving Smile Rest In Peace Donny From Bailey-Laing &Raymond Laing (Anastasia Black )Parents Many Blessings

From: aunt Dorine, uncle Gerald, and aunt Edith

To our precious nieces and nephews: 
Jas, Arlene, Patrick, Wayne, and Hopie,

We all wish we could be with you in person at this most difficult time. Please know we are keeping you in our thoughts and hearts, which ache for the loss you feel for your beloved brother Danny and our nephew.

Your mom was the first one of us siblings to have a child, so he was our first nephew and first grandchild for Maas Coblin and Miss Gertie. You can imagine the anticipation and excitement we all shared.

Although we all left Jamaica when Danny was small, we cherish our fond memories of this happy, beautiful, chubby little boy who stole all our hearts away. We remember when he played by us and got his clothes dirty and how he would return home in Morris' clothes, which fit him. We remember too how Morris was not happy and moaned when he had to walk his nephew back home 😊 

We know how much Danny wanted to come to the UK to unite with his family here, and we treasure that thought.

It was a pleasure to know how Danny became such a loved and loving man, and as such, he will be greatly missed and also greatly remembered through the legacy of his sons Jason and Omar.

Our precious nieces and nephews, we are united with you and sending all our love to you, and we pray to "the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials," to strengthen and keep you until the day you are reunited with Danny!

With love always, Aunt Dorine and family, Uncle Gerald and family, Aunt Edith and family XXXXX

Isn't It Awesome 
Isn't it awesome that we sometimes meet friends who end up just like family;
Isn't it awesome that some persons enter our lives and never leave..
Isn't it awesome that we can share each others joy, pain and sadness and still give hope;
It is awesome when God sees our tears, hears  our cry and welcomes us to His side to take a rest.
We let go with heavy hearts, but God had a plan for his life. 
Let us focus on that blessed hope..we will meet him again on the other side.
Rest well Danny. You have completed your tasks, here on earth , now it's time to take your rest.
