Obituary for Donald A. Dill
Lincoln - In the early morning of Friday, September 20th 2019, Donald A. Dill, peacefully passed away at the age of 64 with his daughters beside him. Donald was born March 24th, 1955, in Gardiner, the son of Richard and Ethel Dill.
Donald was the epitome of living life to the fullest. Everything he did was with passion and heart. He was known by all for his generosity, sense of humor and his absolute love for his family. Donald embraced the "que sera sera" outlook in life and always lived on his own terms. Even through his brief diagnosis, he embraced life and made every moment count. Donald had a love for traveling, good food, the outdoors and special moments with his children and grandchildren. He will be remembered for many things but most of all for being a devoted husband to Lisa for 31 years. He was a dad that built playhouses, snow forts, went swimming, sledding, always dressed up for Halloween as well as many other adventures and a grandpa who cherished his relationship with his first grandchild Abby, bus excursions to Krispy Kreme with Cammie, playing racecars on the floor with Mason and always being there to pick up Katie from the school bus.
Donald was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Ethel and his beloved wife, Lisa. He is survived by his two daughters, Robyn and Melissa; sons-in-law Josh and Mike; his 4 grandchildren Abby, Cammie, Mason and Katie; his siblings Darrell, Dennis, Dana, Daniel, Delmont, Dianne, Duane, Darlene, Dale, Dalton and Delores; many nieces, nephews, cousins, brother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and many other family members and friends.
We would like to thank everyone that has helped us create a lifetime of memories with Dad these past 7 months. He had a vision of what he wanted his last family vacation to look like and we are eternally grateful for those that took part in that. Thank you to everyone who has lifted up our family during this difficult time.
Graveside services will be held 11 A.M. Wednesday, September 25 at the Park Street Cemetery, Lincoln. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to Pine Tree Hospice, 883 West Main Street Dover Foxcroft, Maine 04426. Arrangements are by Lamson Funeral Home, Clay Chapel, Lincoln.
