David Phillip LeBel

October 25, 1953 ~ August 13, 2024

David Phillip LeBel passed away just before 6AM this morning, August 13, 2024, surrounded by his friends and family after a long battle with cancer. He received the best treatment he could with unmatched support from the Cleveland Clinic, who treated him with the upmost love, respect, and care.

David graduated from Jacksonville High School, where he accepted scholarships to play collegiate level sports at Clemson University. He was a star athlete in both basketball, and football, and decided to take the sport of football to the next level when he joined the New Orleans Saints in 1976.

After his football career ended from injury, he took his leadership skills and competitive drive to become a successful business executive for a building supply company that he spent the majority of his career bringing excellence to their organization.

He had a huge heart. An even larger sense of humor. And loved nothing more than the happiness of others. Truly the life of the party.

He is survived by his wife Cheryl LeBel, his sister, Maribeth Kondziola, his sons, David and Dane LeBel, his grandchildren, Madelyn LeBel, Shelby LeBel, and Josie LeBel, and his step-children, Lauren, Alexandra, and Rex.

He is also survived by all the friends and family that loved him and the impact David had on their lives.

Rest in peace. We love you.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to VNA & Hospice Foundation, 920 37th Place #101, Vero Beach, FL 32960.

So sorry to hear about David’s passing. We were on the Clemson freshman football team & sophomore seasons together. I was a walk on trying to make the team and he said something to me that I remember to this day. I was a running back on the scout team & he said to me one day after practice, “Cat (my nickname) you’re an inspiration to me. Everyday you’re giving it your all & you’re not on scholarship.” I never forgot that. I didn’t think anybody noticed me. I’ll be keeping the family in my thoughts & prayers in the days ahead.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
