Hi My name is Shelana and im one of Daniel's older sisters. As most of you now know Daniel has been missing since 6th December 2025. Yesterday 1/1/2026 police discovered human remains in the Long gully bush land area along with his Daniel's Mountain bike.

Today we've recieved the heartbreaking news that those remains are of my little brother Daniel. Daniel was suffering from multiple mental health conditions resulting in this tragic event.

At the moment our family are currently in the process of coming to terms with everything whilst attempting to plan Daniels funeral.

Daniel was only 35yo and like alot of us he didn't have a funeral fund, Us as a family have had a really crappy past 5 months with our mother been diagnosed with Metastatic lung cancer.

Myself my siblings aswell as our mother are asking if anyone is able to please contribute any amount at all to use toward giving Daniel the send off that he deserves .

All money recieved will go into our mother Pamela Brown account and be paid towards Daniel's funeral service and burial

Thank you on behalf of Daniel's family

Update
