In Loving Memory of Dave Shone: A Devoted Business Owner, Family Man, and Community Pillar
Buckley, UK — It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Dave Shone, owner and founder of Buckley Bathrooms, announces his tragic passing following a road traffic accident on the morning of Saturday, October 12. The loss of Dave has left his loved ones, colleagues, clients, and the wider community utterly heartbroken.
Dave was more than a successful tradesman and business owner — he was a devoted husband, a cherished father, a loyal friend, and a respected member of the Buckley community. Known for his dedication, professionalism, and warm, down-to-earth nature, Dave built Buckley Bathrooms from the ground up with integrity, passion, and a deep commitment to customer service.
For years, Dave helped countless families transform their homes, bringing care and craftsmanship into every project he touched. His reputation was built not only on the quality of his work, but on the trust he cultivated with every customer. To many, Dave wasn’t just a tradesman — he became a friend, a familiar face people looked forward to seeing, and someone who truly cared about doing right by others.
Business Closure
In light of this devastating loss, we regret to announce that Buckley Bathrooms will cease trading with immediate effect. This decision has not been made lightly, but in the absence of Dave’s leadership and day-to-day expertise, it is not possible to continue operations.
To our loyal customers — we understand this news may bring uncertainty. Anyone who had a bathroom installation scheduled in the coming weeks or months will be contacted directly in due course. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as the family navigates this incredibly painful time.
A Personal Loss Felt by Many
The passing of Dave has left a void that cannot be filled. His presence was a source of strength and stability, not only to his family, but to the many clients, suppliers, and colleagues he worked with over the years. Messages of condolence have already begun to pour in, highlighting Dave’s kindness, reliability, and the quiet pride he took in everything he did.
His legacy is not only in the homes he helped build, but in the relationships he forged, the values he lived by, and the respect he earned from everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Gratitude and Remembrance
At this time, the Shone family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude for the love and support they’ve received from the community. While there are no words to fully express the depth of their grief, the warmth of your thoughts and memories has brought some light in these darkest of days.
Further announcements, including memorial arrangements, may follow in time. For now, we ask for privacy as the family comes to terms with this tragic loss.
Dave Shone was a man who lived simply, worked honestly, and loved deeply. His life was one of quiet dedication — to his family, his craft, and the community he served so faithfully.
He will be missed more than words can say.
Rest in peace, Dave. Your legacy will live on in every life you touched.
