Bill, Sue and Liz would like to thank their friends and neighbours for all the cards, flowers and messages of support in the aftermath of Dan’s sudden death. Nothing can truly ease the pain and loss felt but we were moved by the knowledge of how he had affected so many others during his all too brief life.

Dan Ogburn worked as a shift manager in McDonalds in Bournemouth. He grew up in Marchwood, attending both Infant and Junior schools there before moving on to Applemore College.

He was well known in the village, having had a paper round and worked in Sunshine Valley takeaway and played many hours of football for local teams. His football career extended from Hawks cub team through Waterside Seagulls. Dan was also a member of Cue T’s snooker club.

His wide circle of friends has also provided support and love during this difficult period. His death has cast darkness over the lives of many people but we hope that the light of his life will shine in our hearts in the future.
