It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of a remarkable man, David Alton Ladd, affectionately known as 'Crash', born on August 10, 1950, in Farmington, Maine. David was known for his wild hair and witty comments. David was a lifetime native of Strong, Maine, where he spent his life. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life – hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling, mud runs, camping, racing, and even his work in logging. A hardworking and strong man, David's love for the outdoors was as big as his heart. He was a person who truly lived by the rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This philosophy was evidenced by his readiness to lend a helping hand, even if it meant giving the shirt off his back. Spending time with family and friends was David's greatest pleasure. He leaves behind his daughter Becky Goodridge; grandchildren; Tyler & Sydney; siblings; Jeff, Melinda, Mike, Cheryl & Tim; cousin & best friend, Joe Ladd; many nieces, nephews and cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents, Jake and Mary Ladd; siblings, Bruce, Vern, Hal, Nanette & Alana. We invite you to share your fond memories, stories, and photographs of David on his memorial page at dsfuneral.com. Your contributions will serve as a comforting reminder of the beautiful life he led and the countless lives he touched.
