In loving memory of Daemarius Purcell-Appo

Tragically this Tuesday 20th December, the beautiful young life of Daemarius Purcell- Appo (Dae Dae) was lost in an instant.

His mother Keshia had brought him back to visit his large Darwin family for Christmas, and sadly say goodbye to his grandfather that has been battling stage 4 cancer.

Dae Dae was entering Moulden Supermarket with his big cousin and Uncle and was fatally struck by a car that failed to reverse, instead launching into the young boy and causing his death.

Dae Dae, a beautiful boy energetic, loving, cheeky & caring young man had a heart so full of kindness, & his beautiful nature touched everyone who knew him. He loves his rugby, especially his fav team The North QLD cowboys, and QLD in Origin, greatly admiring JT, Latrell Mitchell and all the other rugby players. Dae Dae knew how to play a good game of backyard rugby with his siblings at home. He also loved his rubix cube and could solve it fast.

Daemarius was a smart and clever young lad, being the eldest of 6 kids and they all admired their big bro.

Dae was born and raised Darwin, and in the past few years the family relocated to QLD to be with more of his family there.

Taken far too soon, Daemarius leaves behind his loving parents, Daniel & Keshia, his brothers & sisters and a huge family that will forever miss their beloved cousin, nephew & grandson.

To assist this amazing family struggling with unimaginable grief & huge costs to transport his beautiful soul back home to Innisfail QLD, we ask you to donate what you can.

Being so close to Christmas we appreciate any little bit of support you can offer and cannot tell you what a difference this will make to ensure Dae Dae gets the memorial he deserves.

Daemarius' name means warrior, and he lived up to that name to the very end.

Thank you with all our hearts xx
