JEFFREY E. FIELD

69

CARMEL

Jeffrey Edward Field (Jef), 69, died Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025, at his Carmel home. Jef was born on December 17, 1955, in Lewiston, ME, to Florence and Rupert Field. Jef was the oldest of five brothers and two sisters. The family relocated from the New Gloucester area to Mars Hill, then settled in Hampden in 1965. Jef began guitar lessons at a young age and was a talented musician. In his high school years, he was a running back and a safety for the Hampden Academy Broncos. Jef was Vice President of the class of 1974.

After high school, Jef began a degree in Marine Sciences at the University of Maine at Machias before accepting a job for Stratham Tire in Buffalo, NY. Deciding to return to Maine, he earned his associate's degree from EMVTI (Now Eastern Maine Community College.) Jef began his career at Bangor Hydro as a Fleet Manager in his thirties. He spent many years at the Hydro and made many friends along the way. When the Hydro transitioned to Emera, Jef left to work for Dysart's and later Varney's GMC.

Jef was a member of multiple local bands including White Water Run and Footloose. He was an avid outdoorsman, a golfer, and a pool playing connoisseur. Jef was known for his quick wit and sarcasm which he used to make light of most situations. He had a friendly face and a listening ear to anyone in need. He always knew "just enough to be dangerous" about anything you needed help with. If Jef knew you, he would do anything for you.

Jef is survived by his children, Shannon Field and Joshua Field from his marriage to Tracey Hart. Daughter-in-law, Tiffany Field, Granddaughters, Willow Peabody, Chloe Field and Avery Field, Mother, Florence Field, Brother, Randy Field, Sister, Rosemary Barnett, Brother, Rusty Field and Spouse Lisa Field, Brother, Jon Field and Spouse Tina Carreira, and former Sister-in-Law, Heather Walker.

Predeceased by Father, Rupert Field, Niece, Liz Simmons, Sister, Shirley Philbrick, Brother, Ricky Field.

Jef had so many people that he knew and considered family; it would be difficult to name them all here.

Relatives and friends are welcome to attend a celebration of Jef's life 2-4PM, Saturday, February 15th at Brookings-Smith, 133 Center Street, Bangor Maine. Condolences to the family may be expressed at BrookingsSmith.com.
