He had a particular love for nature and spent much of his time exploring the beautiful countryside around Pencoed. His enthusiasm for life was infectious, and he inspired many to live their lives with the same vigor and zest.

Jones was also a dedicated family man. He leaves behind his wife of 35 years, Sarah, and their two children, Emily and Jack. To his family, he was a loving husband and father, always putting their needs before his own. He cherished every moment spent with them, creating cherished memories that will be treasured forever.

The news of Jones’ passing has left the community in shock and disbelief. Many have taken to social media to pay their respects and share fond memories of ‘Disco Dave’. One neighbor described him as “a ray of sunshine in our town”, while another called him “a true Pencoed legend”.

The incident that led to Jones’ passing is still under investigation by the authorities. However, what is clear is that his death is a tragic loss for our community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

In honor of Jones’ life, a memorial service will be held at the local community center this Saturday at 2 pm. It will be a celebration of his life, with music, dancing, and sharing of memories. All are welcome to attend and pay their respects to our beloved ‘Disco Dave’.
