Northbridge, Massachusetts, May 8, 2024 – In the wake of the tragic stabbing incident in Northbridge that claimed the life of 20-year-old David LeBoeuf, a GoFundMe account has been established to provide financial assistance to his grieving family. David, described as a hero by his mother, lost his life while trying to protect his younger brother during a violent altercation on Friday evening.
According to statements from the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office, the stabbing occurred on the town common, resulting in life-threatening injuries to two individuals, including David LeBoeuf. While one suspect, a 17-year-old boy, has been taken into custody in connection with the incident, the identities of both the victims and the alleged assailant have not yet been officially confirmed by authorities.
Amy LeBoeuf, David’s mother, shared heartbreaking details of the incident on the GoFundMe campaign page, recounting how her son intervened to protect his brother, ultimately sacrificing his own life in the process. She described David as a selfless individual who would do anything for those he cared about, emphasizing his bravery and unwavering commitment to his family.
Tragically, David passed away while undergoing surgery at the hospital, leaving behind not only grieving loved ones but also dreams of a future he had been eagerly anticipating. A dedicated baseball player, music enthusiast, and aspiring chef, David had recently embarked on a new chapter of his life, with plans to start a family and pursue his passion for cooking by opening his own restaurant.
The funds raised through the GoFundMe campaign will be used to cover David’s burial expenses, with any remaining funds allocated towards supporting his unborn child. The outpouring of support from the community has been overwhelming, with donations quickly surpassing the initial goal of $50,000 within hours of the campaign’s launch.
As preparations are made for David’s wake and memorial service, scheduled for Wednesday, May 15, the LeBoeuf family is grateful for the support and generosity of those who have rallied behind them during this difficult time. The wake will be held at Sansoucy Funeral Home in Southbridge from 4 to 7 p.m., followed by a memorial service at the family residence the following day at 10 a.m.
In honoring David’s memory, let us come together as a community to support his loved ones and ensure that his legacy of courage and selflessness lives on. Though he may no longer be with us, his spirit will continue to inspire kindness, compassion, and unity among all those who were touched by his remarkable life.
