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

Darren also leaves behind two darling sons.
Please light a candle for my hero brother xxxx

Remembrance Day is here again,
On this day we remember all those who were slain.
The ones they left behind have endured much sorrow and pain.
But rest assured,
the whole world knows those brave ones didn't die in vain.
The poppies that you see people wear,
Are there to show you they still care.
We open our hearts so that we can share,
A moment of silence, and offer a prayer.
To all our BRAVE HEROs who gave their all for their country.

TO LOSE SOMEONE CLOSE
♥.•� �•.♥.•��•. ♥.•��•.♥♥.•��•.♥.•� �•. ♥
♥ To lose someone you love is hard to bear
To lose your child is beyond compare
Whether the child is a daughter or son
Each one of them is a precious one ♥
♥ Your children can never be replaced
Every one of them has their own special place
Your heart is heavy it feels like lead
You don’t want to believe your child is dead ♥
♥ You don’t think the pain will ever go away
No matter what other people may say
No one knows just what to say to you
You need their help to see you through ♥
♥ Life it seems so unfair
You wish your child could still be there
Your memories fill your heart and head
You remember all the things they said ♥
♥ Life is for living and you must go on
You pretend each day they have not gone
Until you meet them once again
You will learn to live through this terrible pain ♥
♥.•� �•.♥.•��•. ♥.•��•.♥♥.•��•.♥.•� �•. ♥
always and forever in my thoughts
♥�.��**��.� ♥ FRIENDS ♥�.��**��.� ♥

Im sorry my messages are not as often but im having terrible trouble with my internet.My thoughts are always with you Love Violet xxx
In your home there are photo's
of a face more precious than gold
and to those who love and lost you
your memory will never grow old
Everyday they look at your photo's
at your face so loving and true
no wonder their heart is breaking
losing someone as precious as you
But each day you walk beside them
and when their life is through
I pray that god will take their hand
and lead them straight to you
God Bless Sweet Angel xxxxxxxx
