David was a very special young man who had a heart of gold and was a champion for the underdog.  He worked at a homeless shelter in Bangor as an intake person, Staples, Radio Shack and had his own computer repair business.  He was highly thought of in his community.  Many who knew him referred to him as a gentle giant.

There will be a service at The Brownville Community Church on September 9, 2022, at 3 P.M., followed by burial at the family homestead on Stickney Hill in Brownville.  There will be a time for stories and sharing at a luncheon provided by the ladies of the church afterwards.   All are welcome to participate and share, as they feel able.
