DAVID FLEMING Obituary

FLEMING, David I. Jr. Of Rockland, age 86, formerly of Hyde Park and Milton, passed away peacefully, on September 30, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Born to David (Dovey) and Peg Fleming, he was one of twelve children. David cherished his 60-year marriage to the late Patricia Ann (Frawley); and was a devoted father to Patti (Sean), David (Kris), Jackie (Coleman), Danny (Jackie) and Dennis (Karen). He was adored by his nine grandchildren, Jake, Owen, Patrick, Kylie, Ryan, Alyssa, Lynsey, Madison and Skylar. After graduating Hyde Park High School, he served in the Army. David was a true "superman" to his family and friends, working two full-time jobs, a Court Officer for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as a foreman for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, all while raising his five children. David's greatest joy in life was spending time with his family, creating memories that would last a lifetime. He was a regular at his children's sporting events and later, at those of his grandchildren. Everyone knew and loved "papa" and he in turn loved everyone. He will be sorely missed by all, but we know that he is where he wants to be, with his beloved wife, Pat and his son, David. Visiting Hours will be held on Monday, October 7, 2024, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., at the MacDonald Funeral Home, 1755 Ocean Street, in MARSHFIELD. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., at St. Christine Parish Church, 1295 Main Street, in Marshfield, followed by Burial in the Couch Memorial Cemetery, Union Street, in Marshfield. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CurePSP, at 325 Hudson St., FL. 4, New York, NY 10213-0806 or the Pat Roche Hospice Home, by mail to Norwell VNA & Hospice, 120 Longwater Drive, Norwell, MA 02061 or online, at nvna.org For online guestbook, driving directions and other helpful information, please visit the website macdonaldfuneralhome.com

Rest in peace my friend. We spent a lot of time together as kids and you introduced me to basketball and your love for sports. You also served as my usher at my wedding. You will always be remembered and in my prayers. You truly are one of a kind as someone who always put others before you. God Bless.
