On Thursday, June 23, 2022 we lost our beloved David. A son, brother, father, husband, cousin, uncle and an awesome friend.  Our hearts are broken.
Our only consolation is that he is in a safe place, surrounded grandparents and other beloved family members.

David Patrick Bonat (Dave) was born September 1, 1966 in Wichita, Kansas to Frank and Patti Bonat.

Dave joined the Marine Corp after graduating from high school. After completing his service in the USMC he was a police officer, private investigator, bounty hunter, flight instructor and an international corporate jet pilot. He stopped flying and returned to the U.S. in September of 2019.

Dave is survived by his wife: Dorothy Bonat of Temecula, CA, daughter: Morgan T. Bonat of San Bernardino, CA, mother: Patti K. Bonat and father: Frank P. Bonat of Overland Park, KS, sister: Janice M. Bonat and her husband Leonard L. Wagner of Kansas City, MO, nephews: Aaron Z. Wagner and Keenan P. Wagner of Kansas City, niece: Halle E. Wagner of Chicago, IL and fur babies, dogs: Gunjy (Mr. Choco) and Oorah (Scrappy Doo), cat: Yuma (Zoom Zoom – Yuum Yuum)

A casual gathering of family and friends will be held on:
Tuesday, July 5, 2022 from 1:00pm ~ 4:00pm
England Family
27135 Madison Ave
Temecula, CA  92590
(How about wearing something that Dave would wear, Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, cargo shorts, flip flops etc.….)

We are very thankful to everyone who has touched David's life.

David, you're in our hearts and will be forever loved.
