David "Ace" Ventura

David "Ace" Ventura, a cherished husband, father, and friend, departed this life on October 12, 2024, in the heart of Boston, MA, where he was born on March 9, 1966. His journey through life was marked by passion, laughter, and unconditional love for his family and friends.

Ace was a man of simple yet profound joys. His avid enthusiasm for golf reflected his zest for life, each swing resonating with the laughter of family and friends who joined him on the greens. A loyal fan of Sunday football, he cherished these moments, building bonds over touchdowns and triumphs, his contagious laugh echoing through gatherings filled with joy.

In his professional life, Ace dedicated 40 years to the automotive industry, where he became a beloved figure among his customers. His warmth and genuine care made every interaction meaningful, forging connections that extended beyond business—evidence of his heart’s true essence.

Outside of work, Ace took delight in the beauty of nature, passionately growing flowers in his garden. Yard work wasn't just a task for him; it was a labor of love, a testament to his nurturing spirit. He found joy in driving his Mustang, embodying pure freedom.

Ace had a penchant for the finer flavors of life, relishing every bite of lobster feasts, often savored in the company of loved ones, while enjoying refreshing Bud Lights. On Sundays, the melodies of Elvis Gospel filled his home, a soothing backdrop to cherished moments spent with family.

He leaves behind a loving wife, Kelli Ventura, whose partnership shaped many beautiful parts of his life. His son, Zachary Ventura, alongside his partner, Carolyn, of Duxbury, blessed Ace with her four children. Joshua Ventura, his other son, and his wife Lexi of Kingston, carried forward Ace's legacy of love and laughter. His nurturing spirit is further echoed in the hearts of his mother, Carmella Foutain, and her husband Cliff of Hampstead, NC, as well as his brother, Daniel Ventura, and his wife Stephanie, also of Hampstead, NC. Ace took immense pride in the many nieces and nephews who will forever cherish his memory.

A series of heartfelt services will be held in his honor: visiting hours on October 25, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Keohane Funeral Home in Quincy, MA, followed by a funeral service on October 26, 2024, at 10:00 AM, and a burial at Pine Hill Cemetery at 11:15 AM the same day.
