FAIRFIELD – Thomas P. Fortin passed away at his home on Sept. 24, 2022 with his partner Denise at his side. Tom was born Dec. 3, 1955 in Waterville, to Lawrence and Florence Fortin. He lived nearly all his life in the Waterville area, graduating from Winslow High School with the class of ‘73.

Tom married Debbie Lofstrom, the mother of his two children, Jason and Tyra, in 1975. They divorced after several years of marriage.

Tom drove delivery trucks at first, but took up painting for most of his work career. He taught his life partner, Denise, the trade and the two spent many happy, productive hours working together before his disabilities got the better of him. He had a special relationship with his mother and they were close until her passing.

Tom was predeceased by his parents Lawrence and Florence, his ex-wife Debbie and nephew Travis Strout. Surviving him are his children, Jason Lofstrom (Tabby) and Tyra Holt (Ryan); his grandchildren Raygan and Jordan Holt, Charles and Caitie Scannan and Donald Roy; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and his aunt, Jeanette Martin; brothers and sisters, Lawrence Jr. (Debbie), Michael (Wanda), Jane Franchetti (Peter), Paul (Debbie), and Diane Levesque (Mark).

Tom was very fortunate to have the love and care of his life partner, Denise Letourneau, and he stated it on many occasions. Her efforts, especially at the end of his life, will always be remembered by all in Tom’s circle of family and friends.

A burial service will be held at the Wooster Hill Cemetery in Rome on Oct. 22 at 11:30 a.m., followed by a memorial luncheon at Rome Town Hall on Mercer Rd. In Rome, Maine.
