David Abreu, a cherished father, son, brother, and grandfather, passed away on August 13, 2025, at the age of 46. Born on April 6, 1979, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, David was a beacon of joy and music in the lives of those who knew him. His final days were spent surrounded by the love of his family in Plainfield, New Jersey.

David was the beloved son of Angel Abreu Sr. and Luz Abreu. His life was a testament to the strength and love of his family, including his devoted daughter, Caroline Rivera Abreu, and his son, David Rivera Abreu Jr., and two beautiful grandchildren , Cirenys and Jayxiel who will carry on his legacy of kindness. He was a loving brother to Cindy Bohr and her husband Ken, Angel Abreu Jr. and his wife Anita, and Miguel Ramos. David's numerous nieces and nephews will fondly remember his playful spirit and the special moments they shared.

David's educational journey culminated in the achievement of his GED, a milestone that highlighted his determination and commitment to personal growth. His passion for music was evident to all who knew him. David's love for melody and rhythm was not just a hobby, but a vital part of who he was. He found solace and joy in the harmonies of life, and he had a unique ability to share that joy with others.

Throughout his life, David touched many hearts with his generosity and warmth. His presence was a comforting and uplifting force, and his ability to connect with people through music created countless cherished memories. Whether he was sharing a song or a smile, David's spirit was a light that could not be dimmed.

As we bid farewell to David, we celebrate the life of a man who was so much to so many. His legacy is one of love, music, and family. David's melody will continue to echo in the hearts of those who loved him, and his memory will be a harmonious refrain that comforts us in times of silence.

David's family will hold a private ceremony to honor his life and the joy he brought to all who knew him. His story is not one of sorrow, but of a life well-lived and a journey completed with the love of family guiding him home.

In David Abreu, we have lost a precious soul, but heaven has gained an angel. Rest in peace, David; your song will forever be sung by those who love you.

Let the family know you care by leaving your condolences, favorite memories and thoughts and prayers on the Tribute Wall.
