In loving memory of David James Onens who sadly passed away on 17th June 2020 after a short and difficult battle with cancer.
This is Tracey, Dave's widow and I just wanted to say a few words about the man you all knew and loved.
I will keep this message short as I could go on forever about the man who came into my life and made me so happy. I cannot express enough how much I loved him and will miss having him in my life.
We had 10 wonderful years together, he had the ability to make me laugh, even right at the end and we had built up so many fantastic memories for me to take with me for the rest of my days.
Dave died at home on what would have been his 61st birthday with me by his side holding his hand.
He was a wonderful husband to me and my soul mate over the past 10 years. Kind, caring, funny, protective and sometimes a grumpy old sod but he was my grumpy old sod and I wouldn't have had him any other way.
He was also a fantastic dad to Lee and Neil, stepdad to Katie and Joe and a wonderful grandad to Ottilie, Reuben, Ruby, Josh, Sophie and Daniel and not forgetting twin grandsons due to arrive later this year. Dave was also a wonderful younger brother to Ruth who has been living in America for many years.
Dave had many friends and colleagues from both his current and previous work places, his extended family, caravan friends and also from his hobby of metal detecting.
I would like to ask if you would please take the time to add messages, memories and photos of Dave and what he may have meant to you as I will have these to add to my memories to treasure forever.
Daves funeral will be held at Redditch Crematorium on Friday 10th July at 2.00pm. Close family flowers only by request. Donations in lieu of The Primrose Hospice, Bromsgrove.
Sadly due to the current restrictions with Covid 19 we are limited to only 16 people at the funeral service so are unable to open it up to extended family, friends and colleagues however it has been arranged for the service to be livestreamed.
The details for the livestream are as follows

You may notice that I have added a link for the just giving page for The Primrose Hospice in Bromsgrove, whose support and encouragement played a massive part in helping me to care for him in his last few weeks with us.
There is, of course, no obligation but if you feel you are able to make a donation however small to help support the wonderful work that they do then it would be greatly appreciated.
I would just like to end by saying that Dave touched many lives during his lifetime and I, for one, am proud of the gentle giant that he was and he will stay forever in my heart.

Another year has gone by and now it's 4 years since your passing. I miss talking to you on the phone but I know that is not a possibility any longer.I came to the UK last year and finally got to see your final resting place. It was time for closure and a little peace of mind for me. It is hard sometimes to be so far away but I did take lots of pics so that I can look at them when I feel the need to.In closing short and sweet I miss my little brother or should I say younger brother ❤️.

Happy Heavenly 65th Birthday Dave. Always missed and never forgotten. The Facebook memories will always make smile..the random messages and posts about Mom's numb teeth after a few drinks, or the money running out the gas meter amongst so many others. Mom is doing ok, she is the strongest and bravest person I know and you would be so so proud of her and what she has achieved and continues to do everyday. I know she misses you every day and always will, but we will always take care of her just the way you did. Love Katie

To Dave. The last 2 years have gone by so quickly, and you are still so missed everyday. Mom is so brave and I know you would be so so proud of her and everything she is doing, my only wish is that you were here to share it all with her the way it should have been. She missed you more than you'll ever know but I know you are watching over her with a massive smile. Thinking of you on Fathers Day, and your birthday. Lots of love ❤

For my brother Dave,
I can't believe it has been two years since your passing. It is hard for me to realize sometimes that I will never see you again.
I hope that you are at peace.
Love to you from Ruth.

My darling Dave
I can't believe it has been 2 years since you had to leave. It broke my heart when I had to say goodbye. My heart is still breaking and my life feels so empty without you. Not having your larger than life presence, your sense of humour, your strength of mind but your gentle spirit, your beautiful soul and your never ending love has let me feeling so empty inside. I hope you are flying high with the angels up there my love. Sending you all my love and also wishing you a happy heavenly 63rd birthday. Until we meet again my darling. love you always and forever.
