RUMFORD – Mr. David M. DeMascio, 56, passed away on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at the Androscoggin Hospice House in Auburn after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. David was born on Jan. 17, 1968, in Rumford to Santi and Gloria DeMascio and was a lifelong resident.

Before his illness, he worked for several local automotive supply companies, most recently Motor Supply in Rumford. David had a passion for anything with a motor, and loved auto detailing, motorcycling, and snowmobiling. He relished sitting by the fire and taking his two dogs, Kobe and Finn, on outdoor adventures. As his illness progressed, he enjoyed visiting with friends and wished everyone a good morning on a daily basis. His positive outlook and courage were a true inspiration to everyone around him.

Left to cherish his memory forever is his wife Jennifer (Carver) DeMascio and son Samuel DeMascio. He is also survived by his mother, Gloria DeMascio of Rumford; brothers Frank DeMascio of Chesapeake, Va./ Larry DeMascio of Rumford, Jim (Sharon) DeMascio of Greene, and his sister Karen (Jamie) Chouinard of Auburn. He was preceded in death by his father, Santi DeMascio.

In accordance with David’s wishes, no services will be held.
