David Herling

David Herling, 64, of Hudson, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 16, 2026. Born on January 26, 1962, in Chicago, he was the son of the late Donald and Sylvia (Mockus) Herling. David was the beloved husband of Linda J. (Bolduc) Herling of Hudson, with whom he shared 42 years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and devotion. Above all else, David was a devoted family man. He was a proud and loving father to his three sons, Derek Herling, Devin Herling, and Douglas Herling. He cherished every moment spent with his beloved grandchildren, Emmett Herling and Sylvia Herling, whether enjoying visits to Canobie Lake Park, spending time at Luk's Bar & Grill, or simply playing together in the yard. David is also survived by his two sisters, Beth Faxon and Cynthia Herling, and his brother, Tom Herling, along with many extended family members and friends who will deeply miss him. David treasured family vacations and time spent outdoors. Some of his happiest memories were made along the ocean in Harpswell, during trips to the White Mountains, and at Lake Winnipesaukee. He especially loved following his sons throughout their hockey years, rarely missing a game or practice and enjoying every rink, road trip, and memory made along the way. Growing up on Loch Lomond Lake in Mundelein, David enjoyed an active childhood filled with pond hockey and ice fishing in the winters, and swimming, sailing, fishing, and rowing during the summers. Later in life, he treasured living in Hudson near his father before Donald’s passing in 2012. David enjoyed hunting trips with his brother and family, hiking and fishing alongside his wife, and spending time immersed in nature. He had a passion for trading stocks and looked forward to retirement from his career as a Shipping Receiving Coordinator. He was also an enthusiastic supporter and advocate of President Trump, enjoyed classic horror movies, loved decorating for Halloween with spooky displays, and took great pride in caring for his yard and property. Family and friends are invited to attend a time of visitation on Wednesday, May 20, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home, 50 Ferry Street in Hudson. A private burial will be held for the family at Holy Cross Cemetery in Hudson. David will be remembered for his deep love of family, his dedication to those he cared about, and the many memories he created with the people
