Daniel Duhamel Obituary
Dan was born in Manchester on September 26, 1968 the son of Roland Duhamel and Yvette Morency Duhamel.
Dan was a loving husband and father who loved to tee it up and build construction projects larger than anyone's imagination. Since he was a boy, hockey was a constant in his life and he loved to play with his group of guys on a weekly basis.
On the weekends, he loved to travel with his wife and children to his summer home on Cape Cod and enjoy nice meals at his favorite restaurants. Taking his family on vacations was a top priority along with his "guy trips" to go golfing somewhere warm. Sunsets at First Encounter Beach in Eastham with his wife were a nightly ritual along with a cold Stella, red wine and a Kettle One on the rocks.
His sudden passing is a shock to everyone and he will be missed by all. In addition to his loving wife, Rhonda, Dan is survived by his sons; Jeremy Duhamel and Griffin Connor both of Manchester, his brother David Duhamel of Manchester and his sister Diane Davis of Canterbury. He will also be deeply missed by many aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews as well as his friends.
A Memorial Service will be held at Cain & Janosz Funeral Home and is private. A Celebration of Life will follow the service at Manchester Country Club on Friday, July 17th from 2pm-5pm and is open to all who wish to honor and celebrate Dan's life with his family. Please bring a mask.

So sadden to hear of Dan's Passing. Playing in OpenFire with Dan was a joy. He blew me away during his audition for the band, such a fabulous musician and a great young man that grew into a wonderful man. Like everyone said already Dan was the type of man that would drop everything to help a friend or anyone for that matter. I pray the family is doing well and that God's blessings are upon them. Rest in peace my friend, you will surely be missed.

So young, vibrant with the fullness of life, filled with pride over his wife and kids. Always a smile and handshake, listening ear. Always there to help resolve problems with innovative thinking and abundance of enthusiasm. A loss to so many.
Sending loving thoughts to provide strength to Dan's family in this most trying of times.

So sorry to learn about Danny - a great guy. I still remember all the time we played together growing up on Daniel Plummer Rd - baseball, football, freeze tag, climbing trees, building forts, acorn fights, video games, WWF wrestling, whatever. It didn't matter what we did. We'd just hang out every day with Sanjiv and Richie. If we got into a fight, he'd just show up the next day and all would be forgotten. Later on, when Danny got his drum set, he blew me away with his version of YYZ. We had freakin' Neil Peart just up the street! Later on, he tried to recruit me to play the keyboard for his band, but I didn't think I was good enough. And that was a good thing for them. I'm sure he extended that same restless boyhood energy, charm, and loyalty to his family and friends. 51 is just too young. RIP, my good friend.

My husband and I are so sorry to hear of Dans passing, we both worked at Starbucks in Concord and served him his coffee several years ago. He was always so cheerful and kind, a real pleasure to serve during the chaos of the usual morning rush. My most vivid memory of him is very dear to me because our oldest daughter was born on his birthday in 2014. Dan had joked while I was pregnant that I should go past my due date (September 18th) to deliver her on his birthday, September 26th, and I just laughed it off thinking there was no way my baby would be born 8 days late! It was fun to get to tell him she actually WAS born on his birthday and it is something I will remember always.

I send my deepest sympathies to Dans wife Rhonda and sons, Jeremy and Griffin. You will be in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult times. His arms are spread over you from heaven protecting you all.
Dan was on the one of committees that supported at CMC while I was working there. He was always happy, smiling, and interested in our topics and supplied great questions. He was a great asset to the NH community and will truly be missed. He was very caring and had a heart of gold.

I am just someone who made Dan his coffee most week days for the past too many years to count but he always remembered my name and thanked me with a smile. My heart is broken for his family that he obviously loved so much. Dan will be missed by Concord Starbucks.
