David Harold Lemieux, age 81 of Decherd, passed away on Sunday, July 26, 2026, at his residence surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Flint, Michigan on August 15, 1944, to the late Charles and Alice June (Wiers) Lemieux. David proudly served his country in the United States Army. On January 30, 1965, he married the love of his life, Marrietta Lemieux. He lived in Skyline, Alabama for the majority of his life where he was employed until the time of his retirement as an electrician for Beaulieu. David was a jack-of-all-trades and enjoyed tinkering with cars, tractors, and his trail wagon. But most of all, he cherished the time spent with his beloved family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His family will fondly recall memories of how he enjoyed playing “Dirty Santa” at Christmas. The backbone of his family, he was a kind-hearted husband, father, and papa, and taught his children a good work ethic of how to be independent but reminding them if all else fails, “call daddy.” In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Marsha Ann Woods; brothers, Larry Lemieux, Jerry Lemieux, and George Charles “Chuck” Lemieux; son, David Harold Lemieux Jr; granddaughter, Lamonda Posey; and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Bryant.
