Memorial Fund for the Family of Daniel Stewart
Donation protected
Daniel Stewart lived a fearless life, focused on pursuing his dreams, exploring the beauty around him, and capturing it to share with others. He passed away on July 12, 2020, as a result of a traffic accident, but his memory lives on with all of us who were touched by his passion for life. He is survived by his mother, father, two brothers, and sister.
This fund will help provide some financial relief for his family to help cover funeral and other expenses tied to bringing Daniel home.
Daniel's love of life and his adventurous spirit is captured best by his last Facebook post:
"I spent a lot of time in the saddle watching the landscape change from one mile to the next. Each day getting farther from what I know and more comfortable being on the road. After days of a particular rhythm I didn't feel disappointed as I approached my final destination. Rather, I felt satisfied that I was able to make such a journey. Happy that I could maintain the proper attitude to make it through unscathed. Once I came to the end of my journey I realized it wasn't the end. This is only a stop along the way.
After three days off the road my mind rapidly returned to thoughts of travel and exploration. After two weeks off the road I am still contemplating my next trip and how to make it happen. Where will I go and how long will I be on the road? How will I finance the trip? Can I devise a way to stay on the road for longer periods? Do I even want to be on the road for longer than one month? Lots to ponder and lots of time to figure things out. But this time I will not linger too long."
You can see some highlights from his cross-country journey and photography on his Instagram account and his website.
