David Christopher Elder

January 24, 1971 — April 15, 2021

David Christopher Elder, 50, of Lynnfield, MA, passed away on Thursday, April 15, 2021 at the Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington, MA.
Born on January 24, 1971 in Chelsea, MA, he was the son of the late Marion W. Elder Sr. and the late Mary B. (Sullivan) Elder.
He received his education in the Everett-Parlin school system and proudly worked for many years in product assembly in the Bridgewell-Kelly J. Martin Employment Program in Lynn, MA. A resident of Lynnfield for twenty years, he previously lived in Malden, MA.
Even though he relied on the use of a wheelchair for many years, David always had a broad smile on his face. He truly had a heart of gold and was an inspiration to all who knew and loved him. He showed his persistence and grit having participated in the Special Olympics. He delighted in watching "The Brady Bunch" on television, and always enjoyed the simple pleasures of a Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee.
David leaves his dear brother, Marion "Chris" W. Elder Jr. and his wife, Heather A. (Junior) Elder, of Cumberland, RI; as well as his nieces and nephews: Hannah E. Choiniere of Attleboro, MA; Brian M. Walsh of Stoughton, MA; Alanna M. Elder of Plainville, MA; and Derek M. Elder of Plainville, MA.
