Daniel V. Poitras
Date of Passing:
Poitras, Daniel V. “Dan”, 57, of Burnside Avenue, Riverside, died peacefully on March 26, 2022 at the Hope Hospice and Palliative Care, Providence.
Born in Providence, a son of Victor H. Poitras of Estero, FL., and the late Pauline B. (Garneau) Poitras, he was a lifelong resident of Riverside.
Mr. Poitras was a machinist for Boston Dynamic MFG. for the past 8 years and previously the owner-operator of DAG Machinist & Tool for 5 years.
Daniel enjoyed riding ATV’s in Maine. He enjoyed spending time with his loving family and friends and caring for his brother Mark.
Besides his father, he is survived by a sister, Lorraine Walach and her husband David of Smithfield; three brothers, Paul Poitras and his wife Dr. Lucia DaSilva of Rehoboth, MA, Bernard Poitras and his wife Elizabeth of Hope RI and Mark Poitras of Riverside; three nieces, Laura Fritcher, Leah Boothman and Sarah Read and seven great nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of his Life will be held on Saturday July 23, 2022 in Colt State Park, sites 11 + 13, Bristol at 3 p.m. Please bring a chair as food and drinks will be provided.
In speaking to his Dad this P.M. (8 P.M. 4/13/2022) we were informed of the unfortunate news of Dannys passing. Bert, Pauline and their children were friends of ours for many years (I went to grammar school with Bert) and they were our daughter Kathleens Godparents). Thoughts and prayers are with the family.
My sincerest condolences to the Poitras family. Dan will be deeply missed beyond words. I enjoyed traveling to Maine with Dan over the past 20 plus years and having him as a neighbor in both Maine and RI. Dan was and always will be a treasured friend who will be fondly remembered and greatly missed. Peace and love to his family
Bert,
So sorry to hear of Dan passing. I will add the Poitras family to the Choir’s prayer book.
Cheryl & Paul
My sincerest condolences to the Poitras family, especially Mark, an old friend of mine. I know they were close
