David was a lifelong Boston sports enthusiast and an avid fan of NASCAR, especially Penske Racing. He had a deep appreciation for cars, proudly owning a Shelby Mustang. He enjoyed relaxing with reality TV and took pleasure in playing golf. Known for his innovative thinking and remarkable ability to visualize ideas, David built a successful career as the owner of Emmons Construction, which he led with dedication for more than 30 years. Above all, David cherished his family. His face would light up whenever they called or came to visit.

David is survived by two sons from a previous marriage, Jared Emmons and his wife, Jackie Sostilio of Boston, and Colin Emmons and his wife, Hannah, of Holliston, and their daughter, Millie. He also leaves behind two step-daughters from that previous marriage, Emily Rowan and her husband, Jon, and their children, Austin, Sienna, and Quinn, and Amy and Joel Jaffe and their children, Knox and Eliot, all of North Carolina. He also leaves behind his siblings, Tom Emmons and his wife, Carol, and Mary Bonaparte and her husband, Bill, all of Holliston; as well as many nieces and nephews.
