David M. Wied, of Ghent, NY, passed away at his home on June 22, 2024. He was 65 years old. Born on November 6, 1958 to Martin and S. Patricia (Greco) Wied, David was a beloved son, husband, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. He is survived by his loving wife, Deborah (Jostlin) Wied, who stood by his side through every adventure and every quiet moment. David was a skilled union carpenter whose craftsmanship and dedication to his trade were well respected in the community. His work ethic and precision in his craft left a lasting mark on every project he touched. David's talents as a carpenter were matched only by his passion for the great outdoors. Whether hunting in the serene woods, fishing, or hiking trails, David found peace in nature. He shared his love for these pursuits with family and friends, creating unforgettable memories while holding an appreciation for the natural world. Known for his thoughtful and kind demeanor, David had a unique soul that touched everyone he met. His generosity and warmth were felt by all who knew him, and his absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who cherished him. David was a devoted brother to Connie (Gerald) O'Conner of Stuyvesant, NY, and Karen (Scott) Carpenter of Stuyvesant, NY. He was a proud uncle to Ryan (Shana) O'Conner and their children Marley and Warren of Rotterdam, NY, and to Corrine Carpenter of Massachusetts and Devin Carpenter of Stuyvesant, NY. David's extended family, including his aunt and uncle Sam (Cathy) Greco of East Greenbush, NY, as well as many cousins and in-laws, held a special place in his heart. In addition to his immediate family, David had love for his cousins, Pat and Cindy Keegan, and in-laws Robert and Eleanor Jostlin. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Sam and Evelyn Greco, and Carl and Martha Wied, who undoubtedly welcomed him with open arms. David's life will be celebrated at the Raymond E.
