John M. Mansfield

STARKS – It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of John M. Mansfield, 50, into our Lord’s hands on Juy 26, 2023 at Maine Medical Center, Portland, with his loving family by his side.

John was born on Oct. 10, 1972, in Waterville, Maine, the son of Steven and Bethany Mansfield. From his early days at Winslow High School, where he graduated in 1991, to his favorite jobs at Shaw’s and Elanco in Winslow, John was known for his adventurous spirit and his infectious sense of humor.

His love for martial arts, ATV and motorcycling, gun smithing and reloading, target shooting with gun and bow, and hiking, were testaments to his courageous soul. But the greatest testament to his character was his ability to bring joy and laughter into the lives of his family and friends. John the light and laughter in any gathering, his funny anecdotes and loving nature always left a lasting impression.

John is survived by his son, Jacob Mansfield; his father, Steven Mansfield and mother, Bethany Mansfield; his grandfather, Norman Trahan; his sister, Jennifer Cote and her husband Mark; his nephew, Ben Violette; his aunt, Marcia Mansfield; his uncle, Thomas Bailey and his wife, Mary; along with six cousins and their families.

We invite you to share your favorite memories, stories, and photos of John on the “Memories of John Mansfield” Facebook page, as a celebration of his vibrant life.

We would like to thank the Harold Alfond Cancer Center, Dr. Kumar, and his team for the great care they gave John, and Dr. Tchekmedyian and the Coulombe Family Tower, seventh floor at Maine Medical Center, for their great care of John. Also, John’s aunt Mary Bailey for all her unwavering love and support.
