FAIRFIELD CENTER – We are sad to announce the passing of Daniel P. Michaud “Woodchuck” on Monday May 15, 2023 after a courageous battle with Metastatic Melanoma. Dan fought this battle as he lived his life with all the strength, determination, and faith, trusting that God had his back.

He worked hard, played hard, and loved hard. Dan’s love for the outdoors led him to become a Sawyer. He owned and operated Mr. Woodchuck’s Saw Mill for over 30 years. Anyone who knew Dan knew how hard he worked and how much he enjoyed knowing that his custom sawn pieces would be in his customer’s homes through the state.

His love of his land led him to recently build his second log home using the timber from his property, side by side with the love of his life and partner for over 30 years, Kim Giroux. Dan loved hunting and fishing. He and Kim spent many camping trips to Rangeley and Moosehead Lake, and many beautiful memories were created.

Dan is survived by his life partner, Kim Giroux of Fairfield; his eldest son, Daniel Michaud Jr. who resides in Ventura, Calif. along with his wife Shawna; son, Lucien and eldest son Trey who reside in Grand Junction, Colo.; his youngest son, Jason who resides in Coral Springs, Fla. along with his fiance Noreen D’agosta; a granddaughter, Olivia Beitel who resides in Santa Fe, N.M. Dan is also survived by two siblings, brother, David Michaud of Parkman, and sister, Dianna Chapman of Thomaston; and many nieces and nephews.

Please join us for a celebration of Dan’s life to be held on Sunday, June 11 at 1 p.m. at the Fairfield VFW, 246 Main St. Fairfield.

In lieu of flowers,

plant a tree!
