David Mullen, 48

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – David Mullen passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on June 13, 2025, after a heroic health battle of 15 years.

A graduate of Georgetown University in Political Science, George Washington University Law School and Columbia University School of Public Health, David was both highly intelligent and creative. David will be remembered by his ability to surround himself with loyal and loving friends, whether it was from Varieur Elementary School, Moses Brown School, his college experiences or the Providence community. David loved when his loyal Georgetown friends, 14 of them, would regularly hold Zoom sessions with him, bringing them together for updates on their lives.

David was particularly grateful for the daily companionship of his CNA, Abdoulaye Sembarga. He is survived by his parents, Arthur and Nancy Mullen; his sister, Laura Mullen (Ben McOsker); and his beloved nephew, Maxwell McOsker.
