David Russell "Tiger" Marceau

David Russell Marceau, known as "Tiger" but loved by most as Uncle Dave, 79, of North Adams, MA, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2024, surrounded by his beloved family.

David worked at Sprague Electric Co for over 25 years until his retirement.
As an avid fisherman, Uncle Dave found solace on the water. His favorite places were on the shoreline of Windsor Lake, and on the pontoon boat on Lake Champlain with his nephew, Jamie and his family, where they created unforgettable memories. Fishing was more than just a hobby for him; it was a passion that brought him joy and a sense of peace. Uncle Dave was a dedicated uncle and great-uncle, known for his unwavering love for his family. He cherished every moment spent with his family, often sharing stories and laughter around the dinner table. His family was the center of his universe, and he took immense pride in their achievements and happiness.

He cherished his great nieces and great nephews-Lauren (Josh) Bellows, Cat (John) Tietgens, Madi (Joe), Erin (Chad), Alan III, Lily, Hunter, and Hali (Kody) Cartmill-each of whom brought immense joy to his life. He also leaves behind his great-great nieces and nephews: Tyler (Sadie), Megan, Lily, Liam, James, Bear, Gideon, Amy Jane, Violet, June, and Jamie, along with his namesake, Theo David, who will carry forward his legacy.
David is remembered fondly by his niece, Michelle Dufur, and her husband, Bob, as well as his great niece and nephew, Amanda (Ryan) Mammone and Adam Dufur (Jamie), and their children, RJ and Kane. Each of these relationships held a special place in his heart, and he will be deeply missed by all.
