David Tylor Tolley

David Tylor Tolley, age 32, of New Bedford passed away suddenly Thursday, September 1, 2016. He was the son of Wendy Tolley of New Bedford and the late David LaFrance. David was born in New Bedford, grew up in Freetown and built a family of his own in Northern Massachusetts and New Hampshire before settling back in the New Bedford area.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his dad David Tolley, his brother LJ and sister Meg and grandmothers Marjorie, Sandy and Jacqueline. David also has a large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins.

His greatest passion was his children, Justin and Kayli.

David was an expert roofer and an avid car man. He loved the outdoors and the winter months most of all.

David carried the light of laughter and chose to share that with all he came in contact with.
