Daniel Duplessis Obituary

Daniel David Duplessis, 45, of Middletown, passed away after a long illness at Middlesex Hospital. He was born on October 17, 1980 in Middletown. He had a great childhood growing up at his “Nana and Poppy’s” house with his brother and cousins in Chester.

Daniel loved cooking for loved ones, especially family. He worked in many restaurants, as well as the kitchens of York Hospital in Maine and University of New Hampshire. He loved cars, bicycles, animals and anything from the 1990’s. Daniel was an easily likable person and had many friends.
