FRAMINGHAM – David P. Allain, 69, of Ashland, formerly Framingham, passed away on Friday, April 14, 2023, following a period of deteriorating health.

Born in Worcester, he was the son of the late Dr. Donald and Barbara (Sancomb) Allain and the third of eight children.

David grew up and received his education in Framingham, later earning a Master’s Degree from Framingham State.

He ventured into the painting and construction industry and established his own business, David Allain Painting.

He met and married his beloved wife, Sharon (Smith), and they made Framingham their home to raise their family.

A deeply creative individual, David had a passion for art, particularly impressionism, and loved painting renditions of famous paintings and pictures.

He enjoyed music, playing the drums, and performing as Gizmo the clown for children’s parties, as well as magic tricks and portraying Santa Claus at the former Shoppers World.

A spiritual person at heart, David found joy in gardening and cultivating flowers. He was an avid reader and knowledgeable history enthusiast.
