MOSCOW – David M. Ellis, 77, of Moscow, Maine, passed away peacefully at Redington-Fairveiw General Hospital on Jan. 9, 2022 after a long illness complicated by Covid-19. David was born on Jan. 28, 1944, to the late Arthur W. Ellis and Martha S. Ellis of Warwick, Rhode Island.

David is survived by his wife Colleen (Mitchell) Ellis, two sons, Jason D. Ellis of Coventry, R.I., and Stone D. Ellis of Moscow. He is also survived by four grandchildren Paige Ellis, Brooke Ellis, Peyton Ellis, Malia Jae Ellis of Coventry, RI. He also leaves two brothers and a sister and an entire “clan” of in-laws who loved him very much.

David was a retired firefighter for the city of Warwick, R.I., a job he truly loved and missed.

David was happy to fulfill his dream of moving to Maine. he was a jack-of-all trades who loved woodworking, gardening, and trapping. he loved music, was a great dancer and was an avid reader. some of his happiest times were spent putting together a yearly pig roast for a family and friends reunion, much fun was had by all and there were lots of great memories. “Only You”.

He spent a lot of time on Narragansett Bay, he enjoyed boating and fishing and spent many days off from the fire deptment working the water, shell-fishing.

David’s family would like to thank the nursing staff, Dr. Gomez and Dr. Toledo of Redington-Fairveiw for their compassionate care of David. We are very grateful.

At David’s request there will be no funeral. The family will have a celebration of life at a later date.
