August 30, 1965 - March 28, 2020
Daniel Charles Wild danced his way into this world August 30, 1965 (born in Edmonton) and stayed dancing and living life to the fullest until March 28, 2020 (left us in Toronto.) He will be remembered as a unique soul who graced everyone with his wit and flair for life.
Dan leaves to mourn his loss parents Tom and Marg, brother Cameron (Simita, Sydney and Jonathan), his treasured Aunt Carol (Ron) Heather (Ben and Isobel) nine cousins and many good friends. Dan was pre deceased by brothers Tim and KJ, and Scott son of Aunt Carol. His family will miss his laughter, quick wit, gentleness, hugs and his wonderful voice.
Dan was an exceptional dancer, and his emotionally powerful performances graced professional stages across Canada and around the world for 30 years. His artistry garnered him multiple Dora Award nominations. He was loved by audiences, and deeply respected by his colleagues and friends. All who knew him were touched by his generous spirit on and off the stage. Whatever he did: dancing, cooking, sailing, writing or caring for loved ones - Dan did with kindness, artistry and grace.
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose, all that we love deeply becomes part of us forever.
