Michael Allen Thibodeau (70) of Fairfield passed away February 28th, 2024. Predeceased by his parents Maurice and Methyl (Haslem) Thibodeau, brother Lawerence Thibodeau, sister Brenda Buzzle and the mother of his children Barbara Caswell. He is survived by his children: daughter Hilary Shorey and son-in-law Jimmy-lee Shorey; son Travis Thibodeau and his partner Nikki Cole, as well as his grandchildren: Leo Shorey, Haylee Shorey, and Tyler Cole. He leaves behind the love of his life, and high school sweetheart, Karen Sidelinger and her family: Matthew, Amanda and Isabella Hall; Mark, Stacey and Lauren Hall; and Nathan Sidelinger, as well as his brothers and their families: Richard and Stephanie Thibodeau, Stephen Thibodeau, Kevin Thibodeau and his nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. Mike, "Sparky" as he was known by friends and colleagues, was a Master Electrician bringing light into people's lives and homes throughout Maine for the past 40 years. He was a dedicated, skilled and conscientious businessman. The only thing he worked harder for than his clients, was his family. He raised his family in the home he himself grew up in and renovated, and he always had an open door for friends and family alike. He was generous with his time and advice, always thoughtful and thorough in his approach to passing on his insights both in his work and life. He was a simple man with a love of the outdoors, books and family. A loving, and fun grandfather he spent many afternoons with his grandkids around his home and garden teaching and laughing, as well as summers fishing, kayaking and camping out in the back yard. In his later years he spent his free time traveling throughout Maine and Massachusetts, going on adventures with his partner Karen and vacationing with her family. Those closest to him will remember him for his teasing nature and big old grin. It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to a truly good man. Join us in celebrating Michael, a life well-lived and a legacy of love at a gathering to be held at Fairfield's Victor Grange on March 23, 2024 from 12pm to 4pm.
