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.

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.
