David P. Gonyea, 59, of Three Rivers, passed away on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. Son of the late Clarence and Shirley (Cummings) Gonyea, he was born in Springfield on June 24, 1961. David was a graduate of Ludlow High School and worked as a salesman and general contractor. He worked hard to provide an amazing life for his family. He loved playing and coaching hockey, golf and fishing. David had an infectious laugh. He always had a funny story to tell and gave everything he had to his family and friends.
David is survived by his wife of 40 years Maudine (Germain) Gonyea; 3 sons Andrew Gonyea; Benjamin Gonyea (Mellissa Keefe); Kyle Gonyea (Alex); his daughter Jennifer Buchanan (Bryce). He also leaves his brothers Thomas Gonyea (Sandra); William Gonyea (Carol); John Gonyea (Jim); Joseph Gonyea (Kathy); and his sisters Carol St. Onge (Michael); Kathleen Sanford (Donald) and Laurie Larsen. David also leaves his granddaughter Nova, as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, David was predeceased by his brother Ronald Gonyea in 2013.

Burial will be private at the convenience of the family. David’s family asks that in lieu of flowers you honor his memory with a donation to Shriners Hospital for Children, 516 Carew St, Springfield, MA 01104 or Dakin Humane Society, 171 Union St., Springfield, MA 01101.
My sincere sympathy to Maudine and to Dave's children and to Dave's, brothers and sisters. I have so many memories and stories of our time together, beginning in high school, where Dave, Timco and I formed an unholy trio. Dave was always fun to be around and was a quick witted fellow who always made you laugh. A hard working man and a caring human. God Bless your soul dear Gonz! See you in heaven my friend.
So sorry to hear of David’s passing. I remember the Gonyeas from Grandpa & Grammie Mills and Aunt Katie’s on Myrtle St. in the Orchard. I have a lot of good memories of the Gonyeas from Myrtle St., Boy Scouts in Troop 180, and playing pond hockey. David was younger than us, and I can still see Billy stuffing his little feet into hockey skates at the little pond we played hockey on. My thoughts are with the Gonyea family.
Dear Maudine, Andrew, Ben, Kyle and Jennifer, My sympathy, prayers, blessings and love to you all.
