David L. Giroux, 47, died as a result of an ATV accident at Unity on March 29, 2005.
At the family’s request, David was cremated. There will be a gathering of friends at Unity at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Water Hole in Unity.
David was born at Skowhegan, Maine, on Dec. 14, 1957. He lived in many places during his life, but when he moved to Unity nearly 12 years ago, he decided he had found his “home.” He was an avid hunter and trapper all of his life. Those who knew him, will miss him greatly.
