Baby Daniel Jo Ramsey-Mitchell

Hi my name is Lauren, a very close friend of mine Joanne Ramsey recently had the most devastating and heartbreaking loss. Here’s her story…

As some of you may know, in September 2024 Jo was hit with the most devastating blow of losing her life partner Daniel so very suddenly and unexpectedly. This completely turned her world upside down and she was left to care for and support their family single handed all the while trying to manage her own grief. On top of this Joanne was also in the early stages of pregnancy in which herself and Daniel were absolutely over the moon about, were excited to add to their large ,loving family and for their Boy kenzo to become a big brother.

Jo soldiered throughout her pregnancy, trying to place some normality within their broken family life whilst carrying the world on her shoulders

After a complicated 3rd trimester On Friday the 14th March 2025 01:25am at 36 weeks + 1 day, perfect Baby Daniel Jo Ramsey-Mitchell entered the world, looking like mummy but carrying the signatures eyes that kenzo and his daddy have. An absolutely joyous moment that was instantly met with further worry, Daniel junior had immediate complications and after extensive tests and genetic screening, Joanne was advised Daniel junior been born with a condition called ACTA-1 related congenital myopathy and needed round the clock care, Joanne devoted her time between hospital stays and ensuring her children were supported and cared for. Daniel junior was strong! He proved medical advice wrong on many occasions and although she was made aware this condition would limit baby Daniel’s lifespan, Joanne was looking forward to and making plans for his arrival home, unfortunately that day wasn’t to come. Baby Daniel’s health deteriorated and despite best efforts baby Daniel was just too good for this world and joined Daddy with the angels on Sunday 25th May at 11:25pm.

Daniel Jo, leaves behind 3 big sisters, 5 year old brother Kenzo and Mum Joanne.
