David Primmer Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Keefe Funeral Home - Arlington on Jul. 29, 2023.
David Michael Primmer, 39, passed away on July 25th 2023 at his home in Fitchburg MA, leaving his family and countless friends deeply saddened by his sudden loss.
He is survived by his three children, Daniel, Ellen, and Frances Primmer; his mother Mary Lou Primmer; his sisters Amy Primmer and Melissa Noviello and his brother(in law) Bob Noviello; his nieces Michaela Noviello and Rebecca Primmer; his partner Megan York; extended family, and countless friends. David was predeceased by his father Richard Primmer Jr.; grandparents Ida and Richard Primmer and Evelyn and Harry Gardner; Uncle James Gardner; and a number of close friends over the years.
Born on January 25th, 1984, Dave called the town of Arlington, MA his home. He was a man who lived life to the fullest, whether it was traveling the globe collecting knowledge and experiences, feeding his soul and passion for music at live shows, whipping up the world's best mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving, or simply enjoying a tranquil morning on the lake fishing.
David's love for his family was fierce and unwavering. His children were the light of his life and he cherished every moment he spent with them, imparting the wisdom he gained throughout his life, teaching them to look for silver linings everywhere, and, of course, making sure they could both give and take a joke.
With a smile that could light up a room, a laugh that was impossible not to join in with, hugs that were irrefutably the best in the universe, and a heart that never stopped growing, Dave touched countless lives throughout his time here. He was fiercely loyal, the first to drop everything for a friend or family member in need, and had a special gift for being able to make anyone smile, no matter what kind of mood they were in.
Dave would want everyone who loved him to go forward with an open heart and an open mind, living each day to the fullest and looking for signs all around that he's always with us. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his spirit will live on through the memories he created.
"This is love, sweet signal from above, warms my brain, now I'll never be alone again."
-Goose, "Everything Must Go"
