Born in Worcester, raised in Millbury, David was the son of the late William and Dorothy (Sadowski) Turgeon. He was a graduate of Millbury High School, class of 1967. After graduating high school, he was drafted to the US Army and proudly served in the Vietnam War as part of the Army Engineer Battalion.

David found joy in the simple things. He was a silent patriarch and a man of honor. Over the years, he and Dottie traveled wherever life took them before eventually settling down to start their family. More recently, they enjoyed spending their winters in Sarasota, Florida. He was highly devoted to the people he loved. He loved being his granddaughter's #1 "Pep". He enjoyed hosting and cooking for family on holidays and making lasting memories. He was the best hunting and fishing buddy to his nephew John and loved spending time with his best friend- his wife and his biggest fans- his daughters.

He loved sharing his vast knowledge with everyone. Proudly taught his daughter's how to cook, how to grow his beautiful garden and many random things he thought would be helpful to know and carry on with his legacy.
