Worked self-employed in the beginning of his career on the west coast as a carpenter then settling down at the local college, here on the East coast. Throughout his career, he was known for his hard work, dedication, and passion for helping others. In addition, he was always eager to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with others.

But more than anything, David Mawhinney was a devoted father. He loved spending time with his children and especially his grandchildren: sharing stories and getting down on the floor to play games.He was always there to offer guidance, support, and encouragement, no matter what challenges he faced. In his free time, David enjoyed woodworking, playing his guitar, racing around in his pontoon boat, and just relaxing out to camp.

David is survived by his loving mother, Joyce Peters (Rumley), his son David Mawhinney and daughter Megan Mawhinney and his grandchildren, Hunter Mawhinney, Parker Veilleux, and Oliver Mawhinney. Sister Kim Mawhinney- Sandahl and husband Bill. Jill Lehr and husband Tony. His great nephew Jarek Stolting and great niece Amelia Stolting. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him.
