Name: Darren Bonner (Daz)
Day he passed on to pastures new: 28th May 2007
Age: 31
Occupation: Lead Signaller in the Royal Anglian 1st Battalion
Darren was born in Barking Essex and then he and the family moved to Edmonton and then to Tottenham.
From there we all moved to the countryside in Thorney Peterborough. It was here he decided to join
the army.
Darren lived with his mum Christine, and his three sisters Keely, Claire and Dannielle. Once he
joined the army he lived almost everywhere!
On the 28th May 2007, Darren was tragically involved in a landmine explosion in Afghanistan, in
Helmand Province, whilst on patrol. At this moment our lives were changed forever.............. This
beautiful man was snatched from our lives..............
Darren was totally devoted to his job in the army, he lived and breathed the army. He was a big man
with a big heart and loved everyone, and everybody he touched loved him. He was a presence that no
one could ignore and most of all he was my big brother.
Darren was an ardent spurs fan, who enjoyed nothing more than going to watch them play. Any Arsenal
fans he knew, he would make them a cuppa in a Spurs mug and took delight in watching them drink it,
and enjoy it!!
Darren was full of life, was very bubbly, and enjoyed telling a joke or two, played jokes on
everyone, he was a big charmer especially with the all the ladies!
Everyone knew when Darren was in the room, it would be lit up with laughter and smiles. He was just
a huge person with a big heart and you couldn't help but love him.
Im so proud of you Darren, I've always looked up to you, words cant describe how much I miss
you.
Im still waiting for you to burst through the door, with stories and jokes to tell. As your baby
sister you always protected me, and I know you'll always be there with me, keeping me safe. I
am so so proud of you, I'm so lucky to have a brother as kind, warm, caring, fun and brave as
you.
I cant wait to see you again. I love you Darren, my big brother, my hero. Love your baby sister
Dannielle xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Darren also leaves behind two darling sons.
Please light a candle for my hero brother xxxx

For a memory
Darren
Thank you for being a brief part of my life. You brought me laughter, happiness, kindness and calm.
Your passing truly was a great and tragic loss.
I wish your family may find peace in the love and happy memories you left behind.
In my memory you will live on, in my heart you will always hold a place and on my lips will be a smile.
Emma
I Love You
Darren,
I think I am starting to finally understand your gone. It has taken so long to sink in. I'm told all the time that it is time to let you go. I'm not sure what that means. I don't understand where you are supposed to have gone to, some say your in heaven, some say your with me all the time and others say your everywhere - you always did keep yourself busy.
I wish so much I knew you were somewhere. No matter where you were in the world, I slept easy knowing you were somewhere. It's so hard sometimes when I think your no-where.
When I think of you, I get so involved in the memory I feel like I'm there again.
Anzac Day is coming up on Saturday. It's an Australian day were we remember the soldiers. I really want to go but I hate that stupid bugle - it makes me feel sick. I miss so much in terms of things for you, being here. Often I think that it's helpful and other times it scares the absolute crap out of me cos your face in my mind gets fuzzier.
I love you so much. I miss your made up games, I miss Samuel Onowoko, I miss your face, your laugh, your cuddles, worrying about you, even the shape of your teeth. I wish so much I could hear you or see you or at least had some kind of confirmation you are fine. I suppose that is what faith is for hay!.
I kinda know my 'letter of the law' brain is wrong and that you must be somewhere otherwise I suppose I would not be writing to you, and someone as big and loud as you can't just vanish.
One thing I really hate is that you won't be here for my wedding. I had always pictured the four of us together running a muck, you pulling faces to make me laugh whilst I say my vows, having my first dance with you and you poking your finger in Dannielle's piece of cake just to see her face. You know it was supposed to to be your job to give me away. No other man came close to filling that job - that's why Mum's gonna do it - lol!
Anyway, I'm gonna go before I depress the crap out of the poor people readings this waiting for the nice bit. I love you so much Brother and miss you more than you will ever know. Sweet dreams my precious - Go to bed with no Chapatti - and I may just see you at the Anzac memorial.
Love you always, forever.
Claire Bear

Love You Big Bro xxx
Hey Smelly, wishing you were here so bad. It;s coming up to two years soon, and it only feels like yesterday, yet it feels like forever. It's not the same world without you in it, and as much as I try and get on with things as you would want us to, I feel a part of me has been gone a long time, and I cant find it. It wont be found until I see you again.
Been eating loads of chocolate over the Easter for you haha. And I hope you like my new tattoo, it's special :)
You'll be 33 soon, your getting an old boy! haha. How crazy is that, you'll be on your way to 40 hahaha. Not that is old. lol.
Going to have to look into going to a Spurs game for you soon smelly pants. But I bet you're there every game!! Right on the fron row! Or running alongside the ref haha. Kicking the other teams legs lol. Well I think you need to kick a bit harder hahaha.
I miss you so much. It's so hard without you, still wishing I would wake from this nightmare and hear and see you again. Love you smelly, always will xxxxxxxxx
stay with us please xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
