David Lovely Obituary
He was born May 2, 1967, in Barre, the son of David Lyle Lovely and Margaret LaPan. He attended and completed his education at local schools.
They became a couple in the winter of 1998, and on July 4, 2003, he married Megan Cayia in Marshfield. The couple lived their entire life together in the Plainfield area.
Most recently, David was employed by the town of Plainfield at the wastewater treatment facility. He also worked part time at Tim's Convenience.
His memberships included Wyoming Masonic Lodge 80 of Plainfield, and he was a member of the Barre Men's Horseshoe "A" league.
Most importantly, David loved his family and enjoyed time spent with them and his many, many close friends - too many to mention.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman, loved everything about the great outdoors, was a hugely successful gardener and generously shared his annual summer garden's bounty with others. He was a fabulous cook and was called on regularly for his butchering and meat cutting abilities. He enjoyed NASCAR racing and playing his guitar for hours on end.
David will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by many.
Survivors include his wife, Megan Lovely, and two sons, Jacob Mathewson, of Sheffield, and Timothy Lovely, of Plainfield, and a daughter, Taylor Lovely, of Plainfield. Also surviving are his father, David Lovely, of Cabot, his sister, Teresa Wells, and her husband, Paul, of Williston, and several aunts, uncles and nieces, nephews and cousins. David was predeceased by his mother, Margaret (LaPan) Lovely.
David's funeral service and life celebration will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 15, 2013, in the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre. Friends and family may call on Monday from 9 a.m. until the time of the service.
There will be a potluck luncheon at the Masonic Hall in Plainfield following the service.
Memorial contributions may be made to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Road, Barre, VT 05641.
