David Levin Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Schlossberg Chapel - Canton on Oct. 23, 2025.
David Levin, age 74, formerly of Framingham passed away on October 22, 2025. Loving husband of the late Terry Levin (Karas). Father of Jeremy and his wife Keith, Andy and his wife Stacy, and Jason and his partner Jenny. Beloved Papa to Ashley, Kyle, Amber, and Mason. Brother to Judy and Paul Levin. He passed following a lengthy and difficult battle with colon cancer.

David grew up in Newton, was a past president of Temple Reyim USY and a graduate of the original Newton High School, 1968. He went on to earn a B.S. degree in business administration from the University of Vermont, 1972. He enjoyed a challenging career of progressive responsibilities in the glass distribution industry and specialty automotive supply equipment Field.

David, or Dave as he was often known, was an avid home and auto repair enthusiast with an extensive tool collection and workshop that resembled a well-stocked hardware store. "Don't throw it away, I'll fix it" was often heard, and he usually did.

Though never fully retired, he found great pleasure in a second career driving a school bus all over New England. He loved being around children of all ages and cherished the memories of hundreds of schools and destinations visited over many years. He proudly displayed a beautiful trophy for a first-place victory in the 1993 state school bus drivers' safety and skills rodeo in his rookie year. While employed by the Town of Framingham he served as the resident of the School Bus Drivers association for many years.

As a lifelong cat lover, Dave was never without furry friends. Recently, he took hours of great enjoyment with his littermate buddies Snickers and Scooter. He also cherished spending time at Crescent Lake in Acworth, NH.

Graveside services will be held Monday, October 27 at Sharon Memorial Park, 40 Dedham St, Sharon, MA at 10:45am. There will be no shiva.

Contributions in his memory may be made to a cancer care fund or organization dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals.

Big David, you were my oldest cousin and your passing saddens me. Though it has been many years since I last saw you, I've thought of you through those years, looked at old photos, and smiled. I'll miss you, sleep in the stars, and may the four winds blow you safely home.

So sorry to hear of Dave´s passing, we shared many great adventures with him in our early years of scouting, when he served as the Cub Master at Pack 12, Plymouth Church in Framingham. Dave managed the annual pancake breakfast for Troop 12 for years, with radio tuned to classic rock. The adults especially remember a few outings riding in a school bus with Dave as the conscientious driver obeying the speed limit, and his choice to sleep in the bus rather than listen to other men snoring. Blessings and Peace to Jason and all the family. Dick and Sandy Clarke, Framingham, MA
