David A. Bergeron, Jr., a beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away unexpectedly in his residence on September 28, 2025, just two days after celebrating his 69th birthday and 38th anniversary . Born on September 26, 1956, in Burlington, Vermont, David grew up in a vibrant household that laid the foundation for his adventurous spirit and deep love for life. A proud graduate of Burlington High School, he was widely known not only for his academic achievements but also for being a tremendous athlete.
David embraced a lifelong career as a roofer, dedicating many years to perfecting his craft. His profession was a testament to his hardworking nature and commitment to providing for his family. He was also a bartender for many years. Beyond work, he carved out a reputation as a Golden Gloves Boxing champion, proudly representing in New England and Canada—a pinnacle achievement that marked his passion and determination.
Those who had the privilege of knowing David would describe him as a blunt and firecracker of a person, possessing a uniquely unmatched sarcastic side. He had an exceptional talent for delivering "dad jokes" that could crack up anyone in the room, often leaving both friends and family in stitches. Whether he was playing cards with friends, enjoying a cold brew, or feeding the birds, David found joy in simple pleasures, relishing in the moments spent with those he loved.
He is mourned deeply by his devoted wife of 38 years, Megan Bergeron. His loving children: Corrine Bergeron and her husband Dennis, who share a beautiful son, Malichi Ellis-Bergeron; David A. Bergeron III, who is blessed with two daughters, Mariah and Alyssa Bergeron; and his sons Joshua Bergeron, Justin Bergeron and his wife Angela, who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of their child, Atlas Romeo Bergeron, due in December. David's legacy extends to his siblings—Davine Tougas and her husband Louis, and Lucky Carpenter and her partner Earl—along with many nieces and nephews who have been touched by his kindness and fiery spirit. He is also survived by his best friends Tammy and Brian Shortsleeve.
David was predeceased by his loving parents, Corinne and David A. Bergeron Sr., as well as his siblings Wilma Thomas, Linda Bergeron, and Arthur Bergeron. Their memories remain alive in the hearts of those who loved him dearly, and together, they welcome David into the embrace of eternal rest.
A celebration of David's extraordinary life will be held on October 3, 2025, at The Milton Eagles Club, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Family and friends are encouraged to gather, sharing memories, laughter, and love, and beer in his honor, just as David would have wanted.
David A. Bergeron, Jr.'s vibrant spirit and fierce love for his family will forever echo in the hearts of all who had the good fortune to know him. As we hold on to the cherished memories of his life, we find comfort in one another, celebrating the immense joy and sass he brought into our lives.
