Obituary: Dan Ballowsford, the Green Wiggle from “The Wiggles” 1977–2020
Pip-pip and R.I.P.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dan Ballowsford, the green Wiggle, who was tragically and prematurely taken from us when his big red car went bump-a-deedle into a seafood restaurant just outside of Redcliffe, Australia.
Dear friend of Bridget and Damien Holdsworth, Louise and Jeremy Ingleston, and Captain Feathersword. Beloved brother-in-law of Janie Davenport, and devoted godfather of Little Bunny Foo Foo.
Dan – words cannot express our gloomies at your passing, and our disbelief that you have wiggled your last wiggle. The world is already less colorful without you, and too heavily weighted towards the red and purple part of the color spectrum.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to Officer Beaple who was first to attend the whoopsie wotsit, and to Dr Knickerbocker who administered first aid with manic but child-friendly energy.
Friends and family are invited to share their memories and say nicky nacky nocky noo to him at Elmsworth Funeral Home in Ipswich this Sunday.
In lieu of flowers, we invite you to make a donation to the medical costs of Henry the Octopus, who is also battling for his life after a misunderstanding at the same seafood restaurant.
