Loudonville - David P. Belemjian, 60, died Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at his residence surrounded by loved ones after a year-long courageous illness.

(Rhoda) Belemjian (MA); a nephew, Jacob Belemjian (IL); a niece, Madeline Belemjian (MA); extended "aunts, uncles, and cousins" of the Shamlian and Tutunjian families; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and life-long friends and business acquaintances.
