INVERNESS, FL — David A. Gagne, 64, formerly of Brunswick, entered into eternal life on Oct. 14, 2013, in Inverness under the loving care of his wife Cathy and surrounded by family and friends, following a long battle with cancer.
He was born in Brunswick on Jan. 26, 1949, a son of Doue and Viola Arsenault Gagne. He was educated in the local schools, graduating from Brunswick High School in 1967.
David served our country in the U.S. Navy with 24 years of service, retiring in 1993 with the rank of Chief. He then pursued a degree in nursing and later was employed by the City of Inverness Utilities Department. David’s passion was serving others. He did this on a daily basis by assisting guests, along with Cathy, at the Lake House Bed and Breakfast in Inverness. We will all remember his smiling face and friendly demeanor at the facility.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 38 years, Cathy Lynn Johnson; daughters, Jennifer and Joy; brothers, Dennis (Donna), Daniel (Debra), Donald (Vicky), Dominic, Douglas (Sue), and Dexter (Elly); sisters, Doris (Gary) and Denise (Pete); 4 grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and extended family, including special friends, Dick and Jean Sunkle.
Graveside services with military honors will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 at St. John’s Cemetery, Brunswick, with Rev. Fr. Donald Gagne officiating. Donations may be made in David’s memory to the charity of one’s choice.
