David Desaulniers Obituary
He spent his early childhood years in Jaffrey before moving to Antrim and then settling in Bennington in 1975. He was the owner and operator of Dave Desaulniers & Sons Forest Products in Bennington. Dave enjoyed time spent with his many friends and family while in his garage working on his equipment. He enjoyed playing golf and four wheeling, but his greatest sense of pride was for his sons and grandsons.
He is survived by the mother of his children, Joyce Desaulniers and their sons, David Desaulniers and his wife, Meredith and Kenny Desaulniers and his girlfriend, Jamie Bennett all of Bennington; his grandchildren, Kenny, Evan, and Jaxon Desaulniers; his siblings, Patty Johnson of Deering, Penny Durgin of Jaffrey, Kevin Rockwell of Bennington, Greg Rockwell of Brookline, N.H. and Sherry Sudsbury of Alaska; several nieces, nephews and cousins.
All are welcome to celebrate Dave's life at a gathering at his garage at 45 Durgin Road, Bennington on Saturday, May 23, 2015 at 1 p.m.
