Danny Jack Schupbach

I am so sorry for the Schupbach family’s loss of Danny. I know his dad, Rob from our hanggliding days. I did not know it was Danny until today, Sept 24th from the obituary although I found it strange it happened at Union St & Cumberland as I remembered it’s where Rob lives & wondered how he’s been doing. Again much condolences to Rob & his family. Sandy & Juliette Morrison

Dear Rob: This is Karen Foster in London, Ontario, contacting you to express my sadness and sympathy over the loss of your beloved son, Danny.
You may recall that my ex-husband, Ralph, and I worked for you at 666 Cook Street long ago, and my son, Shawn, died in an accident 7 weeks after he moved to Victoria. I know the agony you are feeling.
My friend, Elizabeth McLaughlin, formerly of 666 Cook Street, emailed me to advise me of this devastating event.
My thoughts are with you, your wife and your other two children at this difficult time in your lives. Also to your parents, Rob, who were so kind to ME at my time of distress – they enabled me to return (without Ralph) to Ontario, where I obtained a divorce, and have had a happier life since then.
I have always remembered that about your parents (maybe you were not aware of what they did.) I have never returned to Victoria – I would like to because Shawn’s ashes are in Goldstream Park but I am 80 years old now, and failing a bit. My other son and daughter live in Nova Scotia, so it is more likely that I would travel east rather than west for a visit.
Sincerely, Karen

Jane, Rob, and family,
I wanted to let you know how heartbroken our family is at the loss of Danny. He was a truly special person, and touched the lives of everyone who knew him. I had the pleasure of watching him grow from a fun-loving and sometimes mischievous young boy at Doncaster school and on our neighbourhood walking school bus – into an interesting, multi-faceted, warm and kind young man. I have a very special memory of hearing him singing with Sol at our house, practicing for a performance at Reynolds in grade 12, and I have been taking solace in listening to the recording of that song this week. No one will miss him more than you do, but we are all thankful to have shared in a piece of his life and we are all diminished by his passing.

Dear Jane, Rob, Molly and Sally—

I offer my condolences in a dark time. I always enjoyed coming to family dinners with your family. You all obviously have a very special bond and I appreciated that closeness from a distance. I always thought Danny had such a special relationship with Molly and Sally and was always making fun, and at the same time, very affectionate and loving. I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person to your family and an obvious loss to his community. Danny always struck me as someone who was going to do (and was already doing) great things to change the world for the better. His loss is tragic.
May he Rest In Peace and live on in your hearts and memories.

Dear Jane and Family,
My heart goes out to you. Your family has always had a special place in my heart since I first met you when Molly, Sally and then Danny came through our preschool. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jane, Molly, Sally and Rob, I was shocked and so very sorry to hear of Danny’s tragic passing. I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain, but I know that’s impossible. It’s been said that there is sacredness in tears. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and of unspeakable love. I’m sure you’re feeling both. My heart goes out to all of you.

JANE, ROB AND FAMILY, WE ARE SO SORRY THIS TERRIBLE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. A VERY TRAGIC LOSS AND WE FEEL VERY BADLY FOR YOU ALL. WE OFFER OUR CONDOLENCE. HOLD ON AS BEST YOU CAN.

Our son Gus was friends with Danny and spoke about his wonderful sense of humour. Our family sends you so much love and comfort in this unbelievably difficult time. Your son was sure loved and admired in the Reynolds community and will be so deeply missed. I saw Danny in Spamalot and he was such a joy to watch. By all accounts, your son made a huge impact on many lives and we are beyond sorry for your family’s loss. May Danny rest in peace and may you find comfort in the love he inspired in so many people.

Kindly,
Connie McConnell and Family

So sorry, Jane and family!
The Ontario McGills are thinking of you and praying for you in this very sad time.
With lots of love,
Karen (McGill) and Jamie Bowen

I’ve worked with Danny for the last few years at tnt paintball. I was at work when I got the news, and I’m pretty lost for words. He always put a smile on my face and greeted me with a big hug. He always made me feel welcome at tnt, and our team has suffered a major loss. Each one of us are missing a piece of us. My condolences to his family, and my he ride on. Rest easy

He rode with us for, must have been 8 years, since attending my mountain bike programs at age ten? to greater mtb adventures and travel with Team Fish. A genuine, multiple-interest and very accomplished athlete. Lots of laughs and real talk about real things with the gang… I’m still speechless at his passing. Stay safe everyone; my deep condolences to Team Schupbach. So sorry.

As the mother of children who went to school with Danny and his sisters, I witnessed, at a distance, his growth from an infant to an exceptionally beautiful young man. Now I lament this senseless loss and extend my heartbroken empathy to the Schupbach family. Schüpbach is a town in Switzerland and today I heard from a co-worker at Reynolds that Danny was thinking of doing Swiss military service. What a fantastic adventure that could have been. Danny will be so deeply missed. And we will not forget him.

I was on the road to practice with my band when I received the phone call. Danny and I have worked together over the last 2 years and became quite close. No matter the day I could always count on Danny to be there at work with a smile on his face. He was such a sweet, funny and easy going individual with so much to offer the world and the people around him. It’s heartbreaking to know he was taken from this earth before he got the chance. As a motorcycle rider myself, I couldn’t imagine what this news would do to my parents. My deepest condolences and sympathy go to his family and friends. We’ll miss you Danny.
