NEIL PEART’s Brother DANNY PEART Dies From Same Type Of Cancer

Tragically, glioblastoma, the same aggressive brain cancer that claimed Neil Peart‘s life in January 2020, has now taken his brother, Danny Peart. Danny passed away on Thursday, March 13th, just over four years after his brother.

Nancy Peart Burkholder, sister of Neil and Danny Peart, confirmed Danny‘s passing in a post on the Peart Family Events Facebook group.

In her message, she shared heartfelt words about her brother: “On this dreary Sunday it is with great sadness that we share that this past Thursday evening we lost our third Peart man and 2nd brother, Danny, after his year and a half battle with glioblastoma (brain cancer).

“Danny shared our amazing Peart traits that all of our men carried, a true gentleman with a kind heart and generous spirit.

“We will be planting a tree at Lakeside Park beside our Father’s tree and Neil‘s pavilion and will have a new award starting at this year’s golf tournament for ‘Sportsmanship’ as this was his true self. It is ironic that his golf team has repeatedly come in 2nd place!”
