Tribute to Daylin Brown
Died in 2010

Remembering teenager Daylin Brown, who died in a road accident on 5 February, 2010.

Daylin, who was 16 and from Torrington in Devon, died while making deliveries in a Land Rover.

His mother, Lyndsay, said: "The nickname that his friends gave him was 'legend'.

"I think that says it all, really. I don't think there was one person in Torrington who didn't know Daylin.

Your thoughts

I just wanted to let you know that 'Lasting Tribute' has been such a great comfort to the family and friends of the late Tony Parry — since the traumatic death of Tony in November 2009. It has been a great thrill in a sad time to see the tributes to Tony grow. I know too that his family have gained so much comfort from logging on and reading so many special memories and tributes. Your site is wonderful, and THANK YOU for being there — for so many people! Paul Gough
Just had to let you know the candles arrived at 7.30 am today, what efficient service. They are wonderful, very very pleased and had to admit I did shed a few tears at seeing my son Ian's candle. Thank you once again I will definitely recommend you and your service to others. Jill Palmer
In my view, Lasting Tribute is very worthwhile. In our frantic world, it's good to see a site which pauses to reflect the loss of various talented individuals and provides space for others to pay tribute to them. I think it's a lovely concept. Andy Brett
