Steven Day

MADISON – Steven Day, 62, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 while doing what he loves to do, fishing on the open water.

He was born on Feb. 11, 1963, in Ayer, Mass., the son of Kenneth Day and Brenda (Mayo) Day. He graduated from Skowhegan High School in the class of 1981.

On Dec. 4, 1993 he married the former Tamica Giroux of Winslow.

He worked for many years in the paper industry at Madison Paper until their closing and later years at Verso Paper and Sappi Paper until his passing.

Steve proudly served in the military for the Maine Army National Guard. Steve was very passionate about serving his country. You could often find him helping those he served with.

In his personal and daily life, Steve will be fondly remembered as Master Fisherman, sports enthusiast, and gym rat. He and Tamica loved the Dallas Cowboys and went to many games. Needless to say, the Giants were not on his favorites list. If Steve wasn’t fishing, you could always find him at the gym, following his son proudly, or working out with his son and his teammates. To know Steve is to know he was a staunch conservative. He made his views known and rumor has it, he has a plaque in bold letters on the top rock in Facebook jail. To say Steve was a Master Fisherman is an understatement. You could arguably say he was the man, the myth, the legend.

Steve’s love for his family and friends are unmatched. He loved his beloved wife Tamica for 31 years, whom he often referred to as his Queen. They often made trips to see the Cowboys or go someplace exotic. No matter where he was, he probably found a place to wet a line while there. Steve was the proudest father. Wherever Stephen was you could find Steve there supporting him and boasting about how proud he was to have a star athlete and later a great father and officer of the law. Stephen will miss the multiple calls and text messages throughout the day often only to ask “What’s up skip?” His love didn’t stop there as his heart was full of joy for his daughter-in-law, Lyndsay, and his granddaughters, Chandler and Saylor. He will always be remembered as “Bump”. Steve was a friend like no other. Always having their back and supporting them through thick or thin.

Steve is survived by his mother, Brenda Day of Skowhegan; his wife, Tamica of Madison; son, Stephen and his wife, Lyndsay of Glenburn; grandkids, Chandler and Saylor; siblings, Caroline, Michele, and Christopher; along with nieces, nephews, and friends.

He was predeceased by his father, Kenneth; and brothers Kenneth-Alan and Dennis.

A celebration of life will be held Sunday, June 29 at 11 a.m. at the Poulin-Turner Union Hall, located at 653 Waterville Rd., Skowhegan. This event will be open to all friends, family, and acquaintances of Steve.
