David J. McLaughlin

David J. McLaughlin, age 66, passed away at the Good Samaritan Medical Center on March 23, 2025. Born in Norwood, he was the son of the late William F. McLaughlin and Theresa (Lynch) McLaughlin, and was raised in Stoughton, and educated in Wareham, attending Wareham High School. He worked as a stock worker at Shaw’s in Fairhaven for over 15 years and worked as a warehouse worker at Christmas Tree Shop in Cape Cod for over 10 years. David was a history buff, an avid gardener, enjoyed going for walks and to the beach, doing jigsaw puzzles, crosswords and sudoku, and going out to eat and enjoyed his coffee. He was a devoted uncle who liked spending time with his nieces and nephews. He was a social person and would make friends with anyone he came across, always remembering their names even if he only met them once.

David is survived by his siblings Teresa Uminski and her husband Charlie of Stoughton, John McLaughlin and his wife Jeanine of North Carolina, Patricia Cronan of Plymouth and Arthur McLaughlin and his wife Bonnie of Wareham. He leaves behind his nieces and nephews, Jennifer Jardin, Brian Uminski, and Crystal, Jessica, Mathew, and Joshua McLaughlin and the late Sean Cronan.
