Hinesburg, VT

Our Beloved David Claude Rondeau father, grandfather, brother, and friend passed away on June 7, 2025, at the UVM Medical Center in Burlington. We want to thank the staff at UVM for their outpouring dedication while David was in their care.

David was born June 28, 1947 in Burlington, Vermont.

David spent his youth working on his uncle's farm where he acquired many of his Fix-it skills that followed him throughout his life. If it was broken, he could fix it. After graduating from Burlington High School in 1966, David joined the US Navy and served during the Vietnam War as a Radar Electrical Technician on the U.S.S. Hornet and U.S.S. enterprise. David went to California and worked on stereo repair for a time. After returning home he worked on his uncle's farm once again while also studying to be an electrician and soon after he found the love of his life Monica Bruce, on December 22, 1979, they were joined in marriage. In 1981 they were blessed with a son, Joshua David Rondeau. They built their family home in Hinesburg VT. David worked at RSG Electric, and in his senior years Vermont Railway.

David was always one to be there when something needed to be fixed. He was very diligent, determined, and spoke with conviction. David was a handyman for many; his excellent work ethic was appreciated by all. He also enjoyed family time.

David was predeceased by his mother Simone Curtis, father Claude Rondeau, stepmother Patricia, and brother Lawrence Rondeau. He was also predeceased by extended family Debbie and Mark.

David is survived by his siblings Sylvia Arnold, Ronald Rondeau, Helene Rondeau, Louise Curtis and Laurie Curtis; his extended family, Stephen, Brenda, Joey, and Scott; as well as his son Joshua Rondeau and daughter-in-law Beth of Georgia VT, and David's Grandson Wyatt Rondeau of Georgia, VT who he adored.

There will be a graveside service on Friday June 13th at Resurrection Park Cemetery in So. Burlington VT at 11:00AM. A Celebration of Life will follow from 12pm to 4pm at the VFW, 6 Maple Street in Winooski.
