BEVERLY - David Kampersal, 79, lifetime resident of Beverly passed away on August 12, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. He was a beloved son of the late Edgar and Lucille Kampersal.

Dave was the former co-owner of the Jules A. Gourdeau Millwork Company, enjoying his over 50 year career designing and implementing custom millwork. He was also an Honorary Life-Time Member of the Beverly Elks Lodge #1309 and enjoyed many years golfing at the Wenham Country Club.

Little did Dave know when he asked Pam to go steady at 14-years-old, that it would turn into 59 plus years of marriage and 66 years spent together.

Besides his wife Pam, he leaves behind his daughter Heidi and his son Jeff (his wife Eileen) and four grandchildren that he cherished - Emma, Erek, Keira and Jack. In addition, he leaves his brothers, John and Peter, his sister, Janet, nieces, nephews, and dear friends. He was predeceased by his brother Bob.

ARRANGEMENTS: Known for his generosity and wit, and his unwavering commitment to his family and friends, Dave will be honored with a Celebration of Life to be held on September 9th, 2025, from 1 to 4 pm, at the Beverly/Peabody Elks Lodge at 300 - 302 Rantoul St., Beverly. Assisting the family is O'Donnell Cremations - Funerals - Celebrations, 167 Maple St., DANVERS.
