David Roberge Obituary

David Roberge, 65, passed away on March 17, 2025, at Massachusetts General Hospital after a brief unexpected illness. Born on September 20, 1959, David's life was marked by his profound love for his family and his passion for music, which began at a young age.

David leaves behind his daughters; Amanda (Kyle) Levesque, Nicole (David) Richardson; his parents, Norman and Arlene Roberge; and his siblings, John Roberge (his partner Jodi Cruickshank) and Pamela (Ronald) Guy. He is also survived by 3 grandchildren and 2 nieces.

He was preceded in death by his former wife, Linda Roberge (Kanlis).

David attended Manchester Memorial High School and furthered his education by attending Berkeley College and St. Anselm's College. His intellectual pursuits were matched by his love for trivia, where he often showcased his vast knowledge.

Music was not just a hobby but a lifelong companion that brought joy and fulfillment to David. He also found immense joy in being a grandparent, a role he embraced with enthusiasm and love.

A celebration of life is being planned for May 17, 2025, at the Barnyard venue , Candia NH, where family, friends, and loved ones can gather to honor David's memory and legacy.
