David Randall Steele of Ayer, Massachusetts passed away unexpectedly on July 16, 2025. He was 37 years old.

David was a beloved son, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend. He grew up in Andover, MA, and later in Merrimack and Nashua, NH, graduating from Nashua High School North in 2006. From a young age, David showed deep kindness and a strong connection with God.

Throughout his life he enjoyed spending time with those he loved,especially his parents. Never missing a Sunday afternoon Patriot's football game with them. He took joy in cooking and sharing meals. David had a quick wit, a goofy sense of humor, and a smile that could light up a room. He loved making people laugh and was far more clever than he often let on.

Though his journey wasn't always easy, those who knew him best loved him unconditionally. David was always willing to lend a hand, and he welcomed friends as family. He will be remembered for his infectious laugh, expressive storytelling, and kind-hearted nature.

David was predeceased by his father, Joseph Steele and his grandmother, Phyllis Perkins. He is survived by his loving mother, Leslee Steele, his sister Ashley and her husband Ryan Conway, his nieces and nephew Nora, Cole, and Thea Conway - all of Ayer, MA. David also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, and cousins who will miss him dearly.

David will be forever in our hearts. May he find eternal peace in heaven.

A Celebration of Life to honor David will be held on Wednesday, July 23rd at 11:00 AM at the First Baptist Church of Nashua, NH. A private family burial will take place at a later date.
