FALL RIVER - We are sad to announce that on January 30, 2024 we had to say goodbye to David Manuel Alves of Fall River, at the age of 74. Born in Fall River, he was the son of the late David and June (Arruda) Alves. David worked many years employed with Reed & Barton as a machine operator. Then he was a truck driver for the Fall River Herald News and a mail carrier for the USPS until he retired. He was a member of the Border City Club. In addition to playing golf, David loved to watch all sports. He also took pleasure in going to casinos. Most of all he loved spending time with his family and friends, especially at family gatherings.

He was loved and cherished by many people including his fiancé Carol Ferreira of Fall River; children David Alves (wife Shelli) of St. Thomas Virgin Islands and Brandy Dutra (husband Craig) of N. Dighton; siblings Sandra Moreira (husband Ronald) of N. Dighton, Pamela Wing (husband Robert) of Swansea, Robin Alves of Smyrna, TN and Dawn King (husband Clifford) of Swansea; grandchildren Taylor Dutra, Quinn Dutra and Colby Alves; as well as several nieces, nephews and other family members who will sadly miss him.

Following cremation, his calling hours will take place in the Manuel Rogers Funeral Home 1521 N. Main St. Fall River on Friday, February 2nd from 12-4 P.M. with a service at 3 P.M.
