Daniel H. Crommett

AUGUSTA – Daniel H. Crommett, 48, of Augusta, died on Dec. 9, 2021. He was the son of John H. Crommett Jr. of Augusta, and the late Lauret F. Crommett, who passed away in 2012. Dan attended special education programs in Hallowell and Augusta. In 1993, Daniel graduated from the special education program at Cony High School. For the bulk of his life, Dan lived at home in Augusta with his mother. For the last ten years, he lived in a group home for disabled adults in Gardiner. Dan attended day programming through Skills Inc. in Hinckley. Some of Dan’s favorite activities were bowling and apple picking, going to McDonalds or Burger King to get a “new one” (soda), riding in the car, and spending time with his loving family. His favorite day was Wednesday, when his father would pick him up and together they would go on adventures. Dan liked to listen to and sing tracks from classic “Sesame Street” and “Barney the Dinosaur” soundtracks, along with his favorite Christmas song “Do You Hear What I Hear?”, which he would sing year-round. Dan also enjoyed coloring books/markers, stickers, playing UNO, and Connect Four. He loved the color green! Dan was a friendly, social man. He greeted everyone (whether he knew them or not) with a giant hug. In Dan’s younger years, he participated in therapeutic horseback riding at Friendship Stables with his equine buddy, Blue. This brought Dan such joy; he talked about these memories for years to come. With his family, Dan traveled to Florida, Washington D.C., and Boston – as well as many camping outings around New England. Some vacations included his grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Others included his “honorary family”, the Billing family of Augusta. Dan is survived by his father John and his stepmother Carolyn Neighoff; siblings, John Crommett of Biddeford, Carrie Francis and her husband Paul of Plymouth, Mass., and his twin, Krista Crommett of Pittsfield. Dan is also survived by his nieces Laura Francis of Groton, Conn., Sarah Francis of Worcester, Mass., and nephew Ryan Francis of Plymouth, Mass.; as well as his uncle Frederick (Rick) Fischer and his wife Anne of South China; and several special cousins. Relatives and friends are invited to a memorial celebration of Daniel’s life to be held on Saturday, Jan. 15 at 11 a.m. at Emmanuel Lutheran Episcopal Church, 209 Eastern Ave., Augusta.
