Emons

We sadly announce the passing of Mr. David Lawrence Emons, 81, beloved husband for over 61 years to his beautiful, loving wife Pamela (Speed) Emons. David (Pop) passed on Monday November 9, 2026 at his home in Wolcott surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Waterbury on July 28, 1945, He was the son of the late Edmund and Lillian (Montello) Emons. David was a commercial truck driver retiring from Phoenix Soil. For over 40 years, he was a fireman with Wolcott Volunteer Fire Dept. Company 1.

David was predeceased by his brother Russell Emons, Sr. and his sister Patricia Emons.

He was a committed and loving father to Kimberly Pereira of Cheshire, CT and Kari Emons of Nokomis, FL as well as his #1 Kandy Donato of Wallingford, CT.

He was very proud of his Grandchildren, Heather Kramarz Cyr and her husband Dan Cyr of Burlington, CT, David Pereira of Wolcott, CT, Melody Kramarz of San Diego, CA and Theodore Kramarz of Cheshire, CT. Pop loved nothing more than to spend time with his grandchildren and sharing with them his love of cooking, teaching them how to thrive in a crazy world and how to be great human beings.

Everywhere he went he brought his sense of humor and humanity. He always made sure to leave a trail of clean cars and dirty mopines behind him.

Pop loved his people and his life. He taught us all what unconditional love is. If you knew Pop, you knew what it meant to be included and to be made to feel like part of the family.

Pop enjoyed taking the backroads, giving him an opportunity to slow down, spend time with his loved ones and tell his awesome stories.

Pop loved all animals especially his grand dogs Gigi, Max, Blitz, Loomis and Brody. He loved his cats Lilly The Queen, Smudge and The Grand Dame of them all, Becky. As such, Memorial Contributions may be made to Brass City Rescue Alliance, 2 Service Road, Middlebury, Connecticut 06762.
