David B. Collins Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Simpsonville, SC - David B. Collins, 63, of Simpsonville, SC and a former resident of Hampton, NH, passed away on January 14, 2019. David was born on July 10, 1955 in Haverhill, MA, a son of Philip Collins, Sr. of Hampton and the late Patricia A. Collins. David had the biggest heart. He loved his family, old movies and especially his time with cousins, friends and his nieces and nephews. Christmas was his favorite time of year. He loved coming home and being with everyone. He would shop throughout the year to find the perfect gift and when he found just the right thing he would call with such excitement knowing the kids would have a blast playing with these gifts. Like one of his favorite movies, he truly enjoyed being called Uncle Buck. He volunteered for meals on wheels, sold Christmas trees down south with his cousin Peter and truly enjoyed knowing he was helping people out when they needed him. He worked in sales throughout his life, on a boat in Hampton Beach, as a milkman in his early twenties and loved meeting new people along the way. He was a quiet soul but when you saw that twinkle in his eyes, you knew he was up to something. He would make you laugh, sometimes drive you crazy, but you always knew he loved you and would always be there for you. David would call on every Holiday or just to say hello and let you know he was thinking of you. The entire family will miss his loving heart, his kind and caring soul so very much. In addition to his father, he leaves behind two sisters, Judy Collins-Whitaker and Mary St.Gelais, and two brothers, Philip H. Collins, Jr and Daniel J. Collins. He is predeceased by his mother, Patricia A. Collins and his sister, Patricia Ann Collins. There will be a graveside service for David on Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at 11:00 am at the High Street Cemetery, Hampton, NH.
