Obituary for David M. Goucher

In Loving Memory of a Devoted Brother, Uncle, and Friend David M. Goucher (1969–2025)

David M. Goucher, age 56, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, passed away suddenly on November 12, 2025. David was born to the late Raymond Goucher and Barbara (Armstrong) Goucher, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his beloved sister Debbie, her husband Dirk, his cherished niece Rachel, and many close family members who will forever hold him in their hearts.

Dave spent much of his career as a professional long-haul truck driver, a role he embraced wholeheartedly. In 2001, his life was altered by a near-fatal accident, which led to enduring health challenges. Despite these hardships, Dave's unwavering dedication to his family and friends remained his guiding force. He always placed the needs and happiness of those closest to him above his own, forming a close-knit circle of loved ones who knew him as caring, generous, and loyal.

Music was a significant part of Dave's life, fueling his spirit and providing comfort throughout the years. He was also an enthusiastic follower of the Boston Bruins and New England Patriots, never missing an opportunity to cheer on his favorite teams. His passion for these interests reflected his vibrant personality and zest for life.

Arrangements for David have been entrusted to Berarducci Funeral Home. Honoring his wishes, David has been cremated. A celebration of his life will be held at a future date, where friends and family can gather to share memories, stories, and the lasting impact he made in their lives.

David M. Goucher's legacy is one of love, resilience, and devotion. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
