David M. Lenney, 68, of Clifton Park, NY, passed away on February 11, 2026.

Born in 1957 in Potsdam, NY, David was the son of the late William and Nancy (née McNamara)

Lenney. After a North Country childhood on the water (and occasional troublemaking with his

brothers Billy and JC), he graduated from SUNY Geneseo and eventually pursued his passion

for debate, earning his Juris Doctor from New York Law School in New York, NY.

David's greatest joy was his family and friends, whom he cared for deeply. Some of his family's

happiest memories include tearing down the ski slopes yelling at/with the French Canadians,

being on the baseball and football fields coaching his sons, reading with his daughter, and

seeing how high in the air he could launch all three of them tubing on Paradox Lake.

He had a unique sense of humor that could light up any room (or clear it out, since the timing

and content wasn't always appropriate for polite company, though somehow this made the jokes

even better).

More than the laughter, though, was his generous spirit and unwavering presence. Dave

showed up without question when you needed him and stayed as long as necessary. He had an

extraordinary gift for making people feel less alone, and his kindness and loyalty touched

everyone who knew him.

He is survived by his three beloved children: Dan, Allie, and Matt Lenney; their mother, Carolyn

Jones; and his siblings: William, J.C., and Julia Lenney. David's legacy of laughter, love, and

unwavering friendship will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Services for David are to be announced at a later date.
