Daniel Lundy

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Daniel Philip Lundy, a longtime resident of Hopkinton who left us unexpectedly on Aug. 15, 2025, at the age of 63.

Daniel was born on June 15, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, the beloved son of Edward and Janice Lundy. He grew up in Liverpool, New York, where his warmth, quick wit and gift for making others feel seen and valued became the qualities that defined him throughout his life. Daniel had a way of lighting up every room he entered. His charm, humor and easy smile drew people in, while his generous spirit made them feel at home. He truly had a heart of gold.

He graduated from St. Bonaventure University with a degree in accounting, and soon after earned his CPA designation. He began his career working alongside his father at Bieling & Lundy, CPAs in Syracuse. After a few years, his wanderlust and love of adventure took him across the country — living in Texas, California, Connecticut and finally Massachusetts. Combining his accounting background with his outgoing personality, Daniel built a tremendously successful career in sales. He spent the majority of his career working at Oracle Corporation, both in New York City and Boston.

During his years at St. Bonaventure, Daniel formed friendships that became the foundation of a lifetime. His “Bona buddies” and their families were by his side through every season of life — weddings, the arrival of children, countless reunions and all the celebrations in between. These friendships were a source of constant joy and support, and they remained among his most cherished connections.

A devoted father, Daniel’s greatest joy was his children — Allison, Ryan and Katie. They were his world, and he cherished every moment with them. His love for them was boundless and unwavering.

Daniel had many passions and talents. As a young man, he taught himself to play the piano, filling countless gatherings with music and joy. He also was an avid golfer and longtime member at Hopkinton Country Club, where he enjoyed men’s league and formed meaningful friendships. He also was passionate about skiing, and nothing made him happier than passing along those skills and experiences to his children. His presence enriched the lives of all who knew him, and his absence leaves an ache that cannot be filled, but his memory will forever live on in those who loved him.

Daniel is survived by his children, Ryan and Katie, and their mother, Maureen Lundy, with whom he shared 27 years of marriage and a lasting friendship as devoted parents. He also leaves his siblings, Michael (Joanne) Lundy of Canandaigua, New York, Sharon (Larry) LaBella of Bonita Springs, Florida, Mark (Jill) Lundy of Bonita Springs, Florida, and Kathleen (Chris) Stafford of Marblehead, as well as many cherished nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Edward and Janice Lundy, and his beloved daughter Allison Patricia.

A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Friday, Aug. 22, at 10 a.m. in St. John the Evangelist Parish, 20 Church Street, Hopkinton, with burial to follow in Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Hopkinton. Visiting hours will be held Thursday from 4-7 p.m. in the Matarese Funeral Home, Ashland.
