PURCELL, David Frederick
28 Mar 1953
05 Jun 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Frederick Purcell, who succumbed to a courageous battle with leukaemia.
Born to Joan and Harold Purcell of Yea, he touched the hearts of many throughout his life with his kindness, wisdom, and unwavering love for his family and friends (and footy!). He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him, especially his loving family:
Partner to Alissa Heffernan
Former Husband to Annie Purcell
Father to James and Caroline Purcell, Tristan and Jessica Heffernan, Sam Kellock and Matt Flinn.
A Celebration of Life will be held end of June 2024. Details to come. In lieu of flowers, please donate blood if you can.
Rest in peace David, Purce, Dad. You will forever be in our hearts.
