David E. LeBlanc, a proud American, Navy veteran, and founder of Del Printing Inc., passed away on May 19, 2025, at the age of 87. Born on October 7, 1937, Dave served his country with honor in the United States Navy on the SS Randolph aircraft carrier, and remained steadfast in his patriotism throughout his life. After his military service, he built a successful business, founding Del Printing Inc., which he operated until his retirement in 1998.
Dave was a man of principle-honest, hardworking, and deeply committed to his family. He is survived by his wife, Joanne LeBlanc; his two children, Vicki Marchione (Robert) and Perry LeBlanc (Sandra); four grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; his sister Joan Martin (Jim); and nieces and nephews.
He lived his life with purpose and conviction, and those who knew him respected his straightforward nature and strong values. His impact will not be forgotten.
A Celebration of Life will be held in his honor on July 13th, at 1:00 PM, at the Secord Lake Eagles - 3485 Lakeshore Dr., Gladwin MI. Inurnment will be held at Great Lakes National Cemetery at Holly, Michigan on Monday July 14, 2025 at 10:00 am with military honors.

Dave was a great father-in-law. I have wonderful memories of times up north fishing, boating, and driving out in the countryside looking for Amish homesteads. Dave was very patriotic. We both served in the military and I enjoyed having another person to talk military jargon with. Dave was kind, funny and loved being up north. He will be missed but not forgotten.
