David Alan Nadeau

Born in Waterbury on January 21, 1963, David was the son of Richard N. and Joyce (Crichton) Nadeau of St. Petersburg and Waterbury. He graduated from Crosby High School and completed art programs in California, Florida, and Manhattan. He was a flight attendant for 25 years, beginning his career with Pan Am and eventually retiring from United Airlines.

An adventurer at heart, David traveled all over the world and made lifelong friends wherever he went. One of his greatest joys was introducing his family and friends to his favorite places. David was a kind and gentle man, an inspiration to everyone who knew him. He opened his heart and his home to all. He will be deeply missed by his family, his many friends and his pets, Spike, Mia and Baby Girl.

Besides his parents, David leaves his sister Laurie Anton and her husband Doug of Wolcott; his niece Amy Rossi and her husband Lou of Allendale, NJ; great nieces Emerson and Sydney Rossi and great nephew Colin Rossi; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by his brother Richard J. Nadeau and his beloved niece Katie Anton.
