      AUBURN – David L. Violette, 67, of Turner, passed away on Monday April 8, 2019 at Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice in Auburn, following a hard fought battle with cancer, surrounded by his loving family.

      He was born in Brunswick on August 23, 1951, a son of Reginald and Doris (Poulin) Violette.

      Dave was an avid outdoorsman, loving fishing in all seasons, boating, and summer nights around his home fire pit. He was a master sugarmaker, taking great pride in his syrup at Maple Ridge Sugar House, as well as an exceptional woodworker, gifting many of his family with his beautiful creations.

      Dave cherished all moments with his family, especially time with his daughters and grandchildren. He loved spending time being Grampa. His favorite activity was spending time with his wife and best friend of 20-plus years, Jamie.
