A statement from the Uden family 25/1/22:
Early this morning, our beloved father Dave Uden passed away following a short but devastating battle with cancer. He spent the last few days in our family home and was with his wife and four children who held his hands and surrounded him with love and reassurance as he passed.
My Dad was a man who made a difference to everyone he met, from his first students at Whitleigh and then St Boniface, to his friends in the hockey community after years of playing and coaching. He thrived on helping others to develop into the best versions of themselves with kindness and compassion and we will miss him dearly.
We are in the early stages of planning the next steps but our Mum Heather has asked that anyone who would like to speak at his cremation service please reach out and get in touch. We will reach out regarding arrangements once these have been organised around covid regulations.
Dave was a stalwart of the club for over 35 years as a player, umpire and coach, an inspiration and role model to many of us both young and old he was an absolute gentleman who will be sorely missed not only at this club but within the wider South West Hockey community.
Our Love and best wishes go out to his family at this difficult time.
