Obituary

David Arthur Rioux ascended to the Kingdom of Heaven surrounded by his loved ones at home on September 23, 2024. Born in Hartford, CT on October 22, 1942, to Ernest J Rioux and Elaine Gosselin Rioux. David was a self-made man that lived a life of numerous accomplishments and interests. 

David attended University of Hartford and started his professional career at Connecticut Bank & Trust in Hartford, CT where he learned all aspects of the banking business, loans, and consumer credit. He enlisted in the US Army Reserves Corps from 1964-1970, where he proudly served active reserve during the Vietnam War. He married Carmella Ann Rogers in 1965. 

In the late 1970's he was presented with an opportunity in Chicago where he relocated his family until moving to Ormond Beach in 1980. The late-1980's brought another exciting career endeavor, switching gears from banking into real estate appraising. In 1990 he founded Halifax Appraisal Company where he mentored numerous appraisers, including two of his children which continue his legacy. Retiring in 2007, he was able to fulfill his lifelong love of boating, fishing, kayaking, and spending summers in his beloved New England. He traveled throughout the country visiting 48 states while camping and exploring our Nation's national parks. David loved nature and was an accomplished and avid gardener.

He was predeceased by his parents Ernest and Elaine Rioux; brothers, Ernie Rioux and Paul Rioux; sisters, Pauline McLeod and Sister Roberta Rioux. He is survived by his daughters, Wendy (Al), Kristen (Jon) and son, Paul (Cheryl). His former wife, Carmella. His five grandchildren, David, Connor, Amanda, Marisa, and Zachary. His Sister-In-Law, Janece Rioux. And numerous Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and Special Friends.
