Franklin E. Bushey
SKOWHEGAN – Franklin E. Bushey, 56, was called home to be with our Lord on Wednesday March 12, 2025, with his wife Roxanne by his side.
Frank met his soulmate early in life at the age of 19. They wed April 3, 1993, after starting their life with a newborn child, which Frank himself delivered.
He was born May 25, 1968, to Judith M. Bushey and Franklin D. Bushey, in Skowhegan.
Frank spent much of his career life employed at Prompto, creating a family with his coworkers and customers since 1989. The men he worked with were his brothers, his customers his extended family. “Waddaya doing today?” He’d ask with a grin. Frank truly cared about treating people well and enjoyed every conversation he had.
In his free time, he was fond of Unity Speedway, volunteering and spending time in the pit, always creating a sense of brotherhood wherever he was.
He enjoyed animals, nature, family gatherings and Friday nights with his great-nephew.
He was a strong man, who lived for a good laugh, and took care of his family well.
We will miss him dearly and forever.
He was predeceased by his parents; many uncles, aunts; and good friends.
He is survived by his cherished wife, Roxanne; daughter, Laurel Bushey and her fiancée Benjamin Waite; many in-laws; nieces, nephews; cousins; uncles, aunts; and beloved dogs Ruby and Bruce.
A service will be held on Sunday, March 23 at 2 p.m. at Somerset Valley Remembrance Center in Skowhegan. A gathering will follow directly after. All are welcome.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
