David M. Wallace

David (Dave) M. Wallace, 72, of Nasonville passed away peacefully surrounded by his family and friends on Friday, February 6, 2026 after a long courageous battle with prostate cancer. He was the beloved husband of Linda A. (Paul) Wallace for over 46 years. Born in Woonsocket, RI, he was the son of the late William Milton and Florence (Faford) Wallace. David graduated from Burrillville High School in 1971. He served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. He spent majority of his life as a skilled welder and beyond talented pile driver working for Spencer White & Prentice, Moretrench and retiring from the Phoenix Foundation Company, Inc. in 2018. In his spare time he loved having morning coffee with his wife, going fishing with his daughter, working on home projects with his son-in-law and curling up on the couch with his grand-pup Flex. He loved to spend time with his family and friends and any chance he could he loved to sing, whether for an audience or recording in his home studio. Sundays were for Nascar and the New England Patriots. We will miss him dearly and his endless funny stories he loved to tell, but we know he is with us always and will continue to live on in the hearts of all those who loved him. In addition to his beloved wife, David is survived by his cherished daughter Ala Wallace and life partner Ruben Gomes; his beloved siblings Donna Carver of Deland, FL, Debra Evans of Pawtucket, RI, Lori Falco of North Kingstown, RI and Shelly Migneault of North Smithfield, RI. David is also survived by his adored nieces, nephews and brothers-in-law that always held a special place in his heart. He was preceded in death by his brother the late Gary Wallace of Shellman Bluff, GA and William Wallace, Jr. of Woonsocket, RI. David had a passion to help advocate for cancer prevention and to help educate others on where to find help.
