A Fairfield man hospitalized Friday after he was struck crossing Main Street in that town remained in a Portland hospital on Monday, but will not survive, according to his sister.

Dana A. Dodge, 49, was taken to MaineGeneral Medical Center and then transferred to Maine Health Maine Medical Center after the accident, which occurred just after 4:30 p.m. near the U.S. Post Office downtown.

“Right now he’s an organ donor and is still on a machine, waiting for a time — when the time comes to do a final walk,” said his sister, Danielle Sullivan, 46, of Vassalboro.

The initial investigation showed that Dodge was wearing dark clothes and was outside the crosswalk when he was struck, Fairfield police Officer Casey Dugas said Friday in a news release. Dugas said Monday in an email that the hospital reported Sunday night that Dodge was in critical condition. The driver in the crash was not injured.

“There are no charges at this time and as you know, it is an ongoing investigation,” Dugas said in his email.

Speed and impairment are not believed to be factors in the crash, which was reconstructed by the Maine State Police.

Meanwhile, Dodge’s family is trying to be strong while processing what happened Friday, according to Sullivan, his sister, who said that being an organ donor was very important to her brother.

More than 30 years ago on Jan. 31, she said, their father, also named Dana Dodge, was killed in a car accident on the same road.

“So, it’s kind of a lot,” she said, adding that another family member, her nephew, died several months ago.

Sullivan said she was told her brother had walked to Sonny’s Pizza on Main Street for dinner Friday, not far from where he lives, and was walking home when the accident occurred. It is the same stretch of road on which he, she and their other siblings walked all the time in their youth, she said.

Sullivan described her brother as someone who made people laugh a lot.

“He was the funniest person,” she said. “He would walk into a room and light it up. He wasn’t even trying to be funny.”

He also was a caretaker, doing for others all the time, she said.

” He just stood up after my dad died and was the man of the house,” she said. “He was everything to us.”

Dodge’s mother, Karen Theriault of Winslow, is battling lung cancer, according to Sullivan. He has two daughters, MacKenzi Dodge, 20, of Augusta, and Sierra Hudson, 21, of Fairfield. He was engaged to Jessica Pooler, also of Fairfield, who has been right by Dodge’s side since the accident, Sullivan said.

Theriault said her heart is shattered.

“He is my son that shines all day,” she posted on Facebook. “He loved me saying that to him when he was little.

Theriault said she’s not blaming anyone, and she forgave (the driver.)

“Now is the hardest part, going on with our lives without my son is almost unbearable,” she said. “As his mother I will make sure he gets the best celebration of life, because he’s deserve it. It’s still so hard to believe. I’m so lost.”

Sullivan said she, Dodge and their siblings, Tonya Douglass-Smith of Clinton, Heather Poulin of Thorndike and Michael Gamblin of Gray, are part of a very close-knit family.

Because their father’s name also was Dana, everyone called her brother “D.J.,” for Dana Junior.

“D.J. was the biggest Chicago Bears fan ever,” she said, adding that she and other family members are not. But in D.J.’s honor, they watched a Bears’ game a couple of nights ago, she said.

Then something heartwarming happened. She had fallen asleep during the game and woke to hear her phone ringing off the hook.

“A player for the Bears named ‘D.J.’ made the final touchdown,” she said.
