David John Raffin, 66, of Franklin, Massachusetts, passed away on January 22, 2026.
David had a deep passion for cars, sailing, photography, cooking, and finding the best restaurants, and he took pride in being able to fix almost anything. Above all, he found joy in sharing the things he loved—through lively conversations, good food, and thoughtfully planned experiences with family and friends.
David was most fulfilled by the life he built with his family. He was a devoted provider who showed unwavering love and deep commitment to his wife and children, who meant everything to him.
David spent the majority of his career in the Facilities Management and Capital Planning industry. He was formerly a Senior Director of Business Development and Operations at ProSite?. Throughout his career, he was known for his dedication, leadership, and ability to build meaningful relationships.
David is survived by his wife, Beth (King) Raffin; his sons, Jonathan (Jonnie) and Trevor; and his daughter, Mikayla (Kaylee); his brother, Paul Raffin; and his sisters, Patricia Bergmann, Susan Valego, and Lisa Raffin. Many beloved nieces and nephews also survive him. He was predeceased by his parents, John Angelo Raffin and Jean Patricia (Tarullo) Raffin, and by his brother, Steven Raffin. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
