Denis R. Emond, age 64, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Pelham, New Hampshire, on December 9, 2025. He was born on May 21, 1961 in Lowell, Massachusetts, the beloved son of the late Donald S. Emond and Cecile (St. Pierre) Emond.

Denis was a devoted father and grandfather. He is survived by his daughter, Ashley (Emond) Linger and her husband, James Linger, Jr. of Peabody, Massachusetts; his son, Donald Emond of Massachusetts; and his cherished grandchildren, Riley Linger and Arya Linger, who brought him great joy.

He is also survived by his loving siblings, Denise Fama of Dracut, Gerard Emond and his wife, Coline Emond of Lowell and Judy Martineau of Lowell and Normand Emond of Dracut; along with many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.

Denis worked for over 30 years as a truck driver with MacLellan Concrete, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. Out of work, he enjoyed riding his motorcycle, collecting bullfrogs, watching old movies and breakfast at MaryAnn’s. He especially loved watching The Three Stooges and MASH*. Football Sundays were a tradition and he was a loyal New England Patriots fan.

Christmas was Denis’ favorite time of year - he took special pride in decorating with colorful Christmas lights. He treasured time spent with family and friends and his generosity, kind heart and loyalty will always be remembered.

Relatives and friends are invited to Denis’ Life Celebration on Saturday, January 3, 2026 from 3 until 6 PM at the McKENNA-OUELLETTE FUNERAL HOME, 327 Hildreth Street, Lowell. Burial will be held privately.
