Obituary for David L. Houle

Mid-morning on Friday November 23rd, David Houle passed away in a room so full of friends, family and love, they could all barely fit. He had just turned 34 years old and had been courageously battling cancer for the last 18 months. David was born in Wilmington, DE, November 15, 1984. He was a graduate of Salesianum High School in 2003 where he excelled in both football and lacrosse. He spent every summer at Lake Winnipesaukee with friends and family and his love of New Hampshire made it an easy choice when choosing Plymouth State as his alma mater. He graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor's degree in Business and Marketing. David is survived by countless friends and family and each had their own tailored relationship with “Hoolio”. Among those that will miss him most are his fiancé Jordan Feeney of Dover, his parents Lawrence and Dorothy Houle of Alton, his sisters Debbie Burris and Laura Squier of Dover, his cousin and “best man” Jeff Hertel of Alton, his niece, nephew and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Additionally, his dog Grizzly, cat Mona, and of course, his golfing partners and members of all 5 of his fantasy football leagues are going to miss his big smile and bigger laugh. David was a proud employee at Sig Sauer for the past 5 years. Up until his last week, his job, coworkers and clients were among his top priorities. His coworkers include so many of his friends - his tireless commitment to his job, positive attitude and dedication will be something that cannot be replaced. Jordan and David fit a lifetime of adventure and laughs into their time together. David proposed to Jordan on February 17th at Rye Beach. They soon after adopted their dog Grizzly and spent as much time as possible doting on their “little family”. In between work and doctor appointments, they traveled, frequented local restaurants, snowmobile trails and cruises around lake Winnie. They swam, hiked, stayed at bed and breakfasts, sunned on the beach and planned date nights for each other. In his last days, David made sure to share with nurses that she was the love of his life and he knew she felt the same. Viewing hours will begin at 10am with services following at noon at Wiggin-Purdy-McCooey-Dion Funeral Home on Thursday, December 6 with a celebration of life at Cocheco Country Club to follow. In lieu of flowers, please make any donations in his name to Second Chances Animal Rescue in Mississippi, where David and Jordan adopted Grizzly.
