THE family and friends of a man who died after a collision involving a car in Cheltenham have paid tribute to him, describing him as an “incomparable” person and “a gentle man with so much love inside of him”.
Dan Beames, 32, of Bishop’s Cleeve, suffered serious injuries in the collision on Lansdown Road on December 17 and died the next day.
The family and friends of Mr Beames, who was known as ‘Beamer,’ have remembered him in a tribute, saying he was a man “with the greatest of morals”.
They described their shock and anguish at his death, saying in their tribute: “On behalf of Daniel’s family and friends, we would like to say thank you for people’s kind words of love and support.
“Daniel Mark Beames, well known as Beamer, was charismatic, loyal and passionate. He was a proud man, quirky, with the greatest of morals.
“Daniel was the king of practical jokes and puns – always going out of his way to prank someone for the enter- tainment of himself and others around him. He was constantly up to mischief, but had the persona, charm and quickwittedness to get away with anything.
“He didn’t live to work; he worked to live. A great storyteller and traveller.
“Dan was radiant. Incomparable. A gentle man with so much love inside of him. Whether one on one, or in a group of people, he was a pleasure to be around.
“What has happened to Dan has sent immense shock and pain throughout his friendship circles and family. Dan left this world as the most wonderful partner, stepdad, son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend. He left a print on all who crossed his path.
“Everyone should be more Beamer. Rest easy pal.”
