DavidBUNTINGLadies man, farmer, accomplished trucker, expert napper, excessive tea drinker and beloved Dad.
Passed away peacefully at Royal Derby Hospital on Thursday 5th October 2023, aged 73.
A dearly loved dad to Gaz, Gav, Will and Charlotte, a supportive father in law, and a proud grandad. A dear brother to Andy & June and good friend of many. Dave will be sadly missed by all his family and friends.
Dave considered himself generally well-lived and with few regrets. He had a life long affair with cups of tea and knock off fags and coupled with the extraordinary ability to fall asleep anywhere he would often be found napping with a full cup and a burnt out cigarette in hand. He never held back opinion with a knack for saying it like it is, though always from his heart with so much love to give, making a lasting impression from the start.
How lucky are we to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
You held my hand when I was small, You caught me when I fell.
You're the hero of my childhood and my later years as well.
And every time I think of you my heart still fills with pride.
Though I'll always miss you Dad I know you're by my side.
In laughter and in sorrow, In sunshine and through rain.
I know you watching over me, Until we meet again.
A service to celebrate Dave's life will be held at Markeaton Crematorium (Main Chapel)
on 27th October at 10 am, followed by a private/invite only celebration of life at
The Joiners Arms, Allestree.
Flowers welcome although as per Dave's wishes donations in lieu of flowers will be greatly received for Cancer Research UK.
