Paul Danan’s crowdfunder for nine-year-old son raises just £3K amid tragic death
A crowdfunder set up to help Paul Danan’s nine-year-old son DeNiro has reached just £3, 000, following the Hollyoaks star’s sudden death this week.
The tragic news was announced this week, with the 46-year-old’s management confirming the Celebs Go Dating star’s “untimely departure” after he “slipped and fell” at a luxury apartment in Bristol. Paul left behind his son DeNiro, nine, with his friends setting up a Go Fund Me page to make his “journey a little bit easier” following his dad’s death.
They described their “unique” friend as the most “extra” person, adding that his family have been left “devastated”, and say they hope to raise £10, 000. The tribute on the page reads: “There was NO ONE like Pauly. His life-long enthusiasm and enthusiasm were infectious. He was warm, kind, funny – actually hilarious, vulnerable, self-deprecating and captivating.
” Being his friend was a visceral experience, and I defy anyone to close their eyes and picture Pauly with anything but that huge, cheeky, dimpled smile. Paul was the most “extra” and unique person you could ever meet, never one to conform to norms or act in an expected or generic manner.
Touching on Paul’s well-documented issues with addiction, they continued:” It’s no secret that he struggled and lost his way at times, but in his true essence, the REAL Pauly, would do anything for anyone no matter what. Whether you knew him from school, Hollyoaks, Love Island, CBB, his rehab journey, or you were just lucky enough to cross paths, he’s sure to have left a gaping Pauly-shaped hole in your heart right now. But he has also left behind a 9 year-old son – DeNiro, and a devastated family. “
The description signed off:” This page has been set up in Paul’s memory, to make his son’s journey a little bit easier. Please offer whatever you can.
People who knew the actor have donated to various tributes and given them money. One read:” Dear friend, We went to school together, had 2 successful schools together. Did a film together. Even lived together. You claimed that you hoped Deniro would resemble my boys exactly. He will. Love you kiddo. “
Without your dad, you’ve got to be a better place, according to another donor’s letter to DeNiro. A third, claiming to be Sadie Frost, who has a son called Rafferty, donated £30, and wrote:” Oh Pauly.. I am so sad.. Raff and I both cherished your friendship dearly, so let’s share some love.
The news of Paul’s passing was announced on Thursday (16th January), with his manager releasing a statement. It read, “It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of @Pauldanan at just 46 years old.
“Known for his television presence, exceptional talent, and unwavering kindness, Paul was a beacon of light to so many. All those who knew him will have irreplaceable voids in their lives as a result of his premature departure.
” During this difficult time, we kindly request respect and privacy for Paul’s family, friends, and colleagues. At this time, there won’t be any more comments.
