Dan Bayes has died peacefully at home, surrounded by family and friends.
Last May – after 18 cycles of chemotherapy, more than seven major operations, the loss of a lung,
and having the bones in his leg replaced – the former Scarborough Sixth Form College student was
told there nothing more that could be done to save him from the aggressive bone cancer which had
taken over the last 13 years of his life.
Life became even harder for him when he awoke one morning to find his legs were paralysed.
Dan still lived life to the full, travelling the world and being a proud best man at his friend's
wedding, until he became paralysed and finally lost his brave fight for life on Sunday. Preparations
are in hand for his funeral next Monday.
His mother Barbara said: "Dan was my best friend and I am lost without him. He was so caring, and
generous and funny."
"He was so brave, and always had a great sense of humour.
"His story is an inspiration."
In memory of Dan, who was a car fanatic and the proud owner of a special edition Renault Clio,
organisers of the French Car show have arranged a parade lap in his honour at the event in
Northamptonshire in June.
Mrs Bayes, of Constable Road, Hunmanby, said: "Dan was all about living life to the full. He would
try any treatment offered to him no matter how hard it was going to be for him.
"His pride and joy was his car, along with his puppy. When he got a tumour on his back he was so
worried about losing the use of his legs as it would mean losing his car. When that became a
reality, it was very hard for him."
His mum added: "Dan would never worry about himself, and spent more time worrying how his dad and I
were coping."
Dan was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at the age of just 13 after suffering a injury to his knee while
playing rugby for Filey School. As a result he had to have his right thigh bone and knee joint
replaced with a titanium prosthesis, and undergo three cycles of chemotherapy.
Almost exactly one year later the teenager was dealt more bad news as a routine X-ray showed a spot
in his right lung, which meant further surgery to remove it, along with another tumour which
appeared his leg.
Only three weeks after surgery on his lung Dan, then aged 14, took part in a swimming championships,
gaining medals in all the events in his age group.
Throughout secondary school Dan had to have operations removing tumours, coupled with chemotherapy
and radiotherapy. He went to Scarborough Sixth Form College during which time he passed his driving
test and earned four A-levels, before going to Lincoln to study for a degree in Business Studies

♥ღ♥ My Angel ♥ღ♥
♥ღ♥ You'll always be my angel
Of happiness and love
You'll always be my angel
Looking at me from above.
I miss you a lot
And I wish you could have stayed,
But I thought
It's better for you, so I prayed.
And I keep praying
And thinking
But also crying
And leaking.
It was tearing me apart
Before I actualy knew
Through those golden gates
Those angel guards were you.
You were everything
That you could possibly be
And now that I think of it
Why was I only thinking about me?
You'll always be my angel
Of happiness and love
You'll always be my angel
Looking at me from above.
I see
You watching over me
And hear
You speaking to me
I won't
Give up and not care
I will
Move on and be fair.
As I think about you
I might be sad for a while
But as I think again My Angel
I see your happy smile
Smiling down at me
Through the clouds
And through the sky
I've left the ground
And just died.
I'm coming to be with you
And God, too.
You'll always be my angel
Of happiness and love
You'll always be my angel
Looking at me from above ♥ღ♥
