In memory of

Daniel Liggs

October 22, 1983 -  March 25, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Daniel Joseph George Liggs, on Thursday March 25, 2021, at the age of 37.

Born in Ottawa, he spent a lot of time as a child at a flea market where he developed an appreciation for vintage toys and comics (and the art of making deals). In recent years, his passion project, Spider-Sense Comics, gave him the opportunity to help other fans curate and complete their collections.

Daniel moved to Toronto in his early twenties and pursued a career in sales and business development. His strategic thinking, strong work ethic and innate ability to build rapport, paved the way for his success. He derived a lot of pride from his work. The roles he held at Versapay and more recently as Director of Sales, Canada for a booming software company based in Texas allowed him to play to his strengths helping people and companies grow. He was recently awarded both High Flyers and President’s Club awards for outstanding performance.

You always knew when Daniel was in the room, the only thing larger than his presence, was his heart. He was an old soul who loved traveling, unique experiences and good food; and he was a connoisseur of hamburgers. Daniel’s magnetic personality drew anyone around him into his orbit. His generosity, candor and confidence left an impression on many.

Daniel will be lovingly remembered by his wife Amanda Huynh-Liggs, his mother and father-in law, Joanne and Richard, his brother in law Eric, Amanda's grandparents, and uncle John, Daniel's mother Michelle Dallaire, his sister Nathalie Dallaire, and those whose lives he touched.

Gone too soon.


If you are interested in making a donation in Daniel's name, please consider using the funds to purchase food or other essential items for a food bank, homeless or youth shelter near you (Covid restrictions dependent). He was a firm believer in giving back in the most direct way.

I grew up with Dan and must say he had a huge heart. We went through a lot of tough times together. He was always so easy to talk to and willing to listen. He lived with us a while. So many good memories and deep chats. He was like a brother and I’m sad to say we lost touch. I saw him not too long ago and it was like a day never went by. Hugs and happiness. He idolized his big brother keith. Loved his bro Nathan. I hope you two find comfort in that. He Loved his friends whith everything he had. He’d give his shirt off his back. I’m shocked and feel the need to know how this could happen. My love to you Dan. I’ll always remember our heart felt talks. Giant hugs.

Dan was a tremendous influence on my career. He was an excellent man-manager and knew how to get the most out of his team. I learned a ton from Dan and shared a lot of positive experiences. I know that his influence will continue to live on through the careers of the members of the team. Rest in peace Dan, you are missed.

I had the pleasure of working with "Liggsy" for over 3 years at Versapay. His passion and enthusiasm was infectious. His was motivated by the thrill of the pursuit and the satisfaction of booking a call or closing a deal. You will be missed my friend.

I met Liggs during our time working together at Versapay, and learned quickly that he thrived off helping people succeed. From coaching his team, booking meetings with tough accounts, or helping somebody chase down a comic or collectible they were after...he got a great deal of satisfaction out of playing a role in seeing people accomplish a goal. I learned a lot from him in our time together...the importance of being confident in who you are, the power of just "going for it" regardless of circumstances, and how to be performance-driven while still looking after your team.

Going to miss you Liggs.
