Waterville – The friends and colleagues of David Veilleux Jr., 52, are saddened to announce his passing on February 2, 2024, after a short battle with cancer. David has been making a difference around the Waterville area for many years. His presence will be sorely missed by his most recent colleagues on the Colby College Dining team. He will be remembered for his dry, quick wit and quiet disposition. David enjoyed Mythical reading and once very proudly owned an orange Mustang. We hope he is once again enjoying the ride.
In lieu of flowers, we ask for donations to be made to the Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter and Services, 19 Colby Street, Waterville, Maine, 04901 on his behalf.
