Oops...now that's embarassing

Dunno why but after seeing Legate's answer I thought it's Beren and not Turin

But this makes me wonder...what is Turin to Daeron...???
They never met, Turin was 2 at the time that Daeron left Doriath and eventually ended up in Eriador...
All they had in common is the fact they both spent time in Doriath, but they weren't really directly connected

Oh... it's my fault, actually. Because I mistook Daeron with Saeros

Well, I have thought about it for some time, and I've only managed to find one likely answer...
Maybe it's Celebrian
Turin (a Man) came to Doriath (elvish kingdom) after Daeron (Elf) left it for ever, and afterwards left it as well.
Bilbo (a Hobbit, but also belonging to Men) came to Rivendell (elvish "kingdom") after Celebrian (Elf) left it for ever, and afterwards also left.

Okay, so let me get this straight... you wanted to ask about Saeros, but by mistake wrote Daeron, and I mistook Daeron for Saeros, thus answering the question you originally had in mind? Great! Add to this that TM mistook Túrin for Beren and...

Okay, so I am to think of the next? Here it is:

Gothmog is to Fingolfin

as

_______ is to Eärnur

(Warning before all, there is no mistake in this riddle.)

Well...I have a pretty complicated idea, but here goes
I'd say it's old age.
Fingolfin was High King of the Noldor
The one to slay his succesor, Fingon, was Gothmog.
Earnur was King of Gondor.
The one to bring death to his succesor, Aragorn II, was old age...
