David Charles Edgecomb

AMESBURY, Mass. – David Charles Edgecomb, 54, of Amesbury, Mass., passed away on July 12, 2025 following a long courageous battle with Leukemia.

He was born in Bangor, on Sept. 2, 1970 to Walter “Chip” Charles Edgecomb, Jr. and Cheryl Hanson Edgecomb. David grew up in Hallowell where he graduated from Hall-Dale High School in 1989 before going on to earn a B.S. degree in Management Systems from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, N.Y., in 1993. While attending R.P.I. he was a proud member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and the R.P.I. Varsity Baseball Team.

David worked summers during college in the I.T. Department for C.M.P. in Augusta, before accepting positions at Unum/Provident, Pricewaterhouse/Coopers, Siebel Systems, eLoyalty, Oracle and finally SAP SuccessFactors where he has been the Service Delivery Lead – North America Chief Customer Officer for the past 12 years. David loved traveling and meeting new challenges in his work and took extreme pride in giving his best helping his clients.

His interests and hobbies were many and diverse, David was a lifelong Red Sox and Celtics fan, though he enjoyed watching any baseball or basketball game in person when he was able. He enjoyed food from many cultures either prepared by himself or in a fine restaurant. Friends describe Dave aptly as “larger than life”, with his sarcastic sense of humor, quick wit, big laugh and generous smile for which he will forever be remembered and sorely missed.

Never one to shy away from sensitive subjects, David liked to engage fully with people, be it roughhousing with children or discussing politics. He was there for family and friends when they faced difficult times and truly believed in giving back to society, may we honor him now by giving more of ourselves this way.

David is survived by his loving fiancé, Wendy Warren Locke, who saw him through the hardest fight of his life with courage, strength and determination; beloved son, Brandon Charles Edgecomb who was his pride and joy; parents, Chip and Cheryl Edgecomb; sister, Kristina Stewart (Gregory); nephews Sean (Ivy) and Alex Stewart; Wendy’s children, son Brandon (Abriana), son Taylor (Jill), son Chad (Karry), daughter Ava (Devin), daughter Alayna (Jason); and many treasured shared grandchildren. David will also be extremely missed by Reagan, a four-legged critter acquired for Wendy, but who soon formed a close bond with Dave.

David was predeceased by his maternal grandparents Herbert and Shirley Hanson, of Pittsfield, and paternal grandparents Walter and Mary Edgecomb Sr., of Hermon.

David fought hard to stay with us, but the Lord had other plans …
