David J. Corriveau

                On Wednesday March 13, 2024, David’s heart suddenly gave out and he died at age 71.  He was born in Manchester, August 2, 1952, the son of the late Alphonse & Josephine (Kleczynska) Corriveau.  He graduated from Manchester Memorial High School, class of 1971 and attended Hesser’s Business College.

                David worked throughout his lifetime at Corriveau-Routhier, the family masonry supply business.  His dedication, loyalty, and strongest work ethic continued in the knowledge and mastery of the many aspects of the business at the side of his father, then becoming president of the company.

                His love and extraordinary talent of all things mechanical started with the fleet of the company trucks, continuing to his first car at 16, and the many to follow.  He maintained all machinery in perfect running order, and especially liked to increase the speed of his drag racing Firebird.

                David had a natural athletic ability with remarkable strength and stamina.  Ever since he first put on his skates, ice skating and the game of hockey became his lifelong passion.  He started playing with MYRHA, Memorial High School Hockey Team, the Manchester Blackhawks, then several men’s hockey leagues, now senior hockey groups.  During these years Corriveau-Routhier supported many teams and events.  David proudly served on the board of directors of NH Legends Hockey.

                As an avid bicyclist, David completed Mt. Washington Hillclimbs, dozens of century rides and countless group rides with family and friends.  Other interests were music, boating, and technology to name a few.

                David loved family birthdays and all celebratory occasions.  Holidays found him putting up many Christmas lights- his light shines as brightly.   David’s greatest generosity and loving care of his family and all, were in the like manner of his father and mother.

                Family members include his wife, Dori Jamieson; David’s children Jason Corriveau, Neil Corriveau, Aubrey Corriveau; Dori’s children Jordyn Jamieson and Jake Jamieson and newborn granddaughter; David’s brother and 3 sisters: John Corriveau, Nancy Gorczyca, Lynda Lubelczyk, Janet Corriveau; 2 nieces and 2 nephews: Vanessa, Kerry, Joe, Alek; a grandnephew and grandnieces and cousins.

                Also, remembering and honoring David’s great hockey and sports buddies, many friends, employees & neighbors.  Thank you for adding presence and humor to his life, as he so added to ours.
