Steven LaCourse Obituary

Steven Keith LaCourse, 46
HOLLIS - Steven Keith LaCourse, 46, of Hollis, died unexpectedly in a car accident in Standish, on Monday, August 8, 2016.
Steven was born on Dec. 15, 1969, the only child of Keith and Lorraine (Beety) LaCourse. He grew up in Hollis, graduating from Bonny Eagle High School in the class of 1988.
After high school, Steve went on to work in construction and welding. He volunteered as a firefighter with the Hollis fire department and was also an EMT and medic. In 1990, Steve began his career at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham. He was one of the founding members of the emergency response team and K9 unit which he was very passionate about. Steve was a well-respected correctional Sargent at the prison.
Steve was a quiet man with a great sense of humor, having the ability to make others laugh. He was a skilled outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and riding ATV's. He truly enjoyed spending time in the woods of Maine, especially with his father, hunting deer, turkey, bear, and moose.
Steve will be missed greatly and will be remembered for being a reliable, passionate, and dedicated person with a big heart.
He is survived by his parents, Lorraine and Keith LaCourse; daughters, Miranda Patterson and Victoria LaCourse; a best friend, Jim Scarponi; and brothers at the Maine Correctional Center, especially Bret Smith. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by his grandparents and K9 dogs, Katie and Jasmine.

You were a great friend to me in the worst of times,
and best of times! I will never forget that smile that
Lit up a room and that laugh that chased the rain away !!!

My heartfelt condolences to Maggie, his grandchildren, parents, daughter and all who knew and loved him. Steve was a great man who always left you with a smile or a laugh. He always had a joke to tell, usually dirty in nature but always funny! I will miss seeing him and hearing all his hunting stories. The big one that got away, the big one he got, Maggie's bear, the moose and all the turkey ones. He always had a good one. He taught me a great deal about hunting. The pride he showed when talking about his basketball star granddaughter or the way his face lit up when talking about his grandsons would always put a smile on my face. He always chuckled about how his grandson loved pulling on his goatee. He had an extensive knowledge of weapons and was always willing to share that knowledge. He was a great leader and someone you could always count on. I will miss you much my friend. Someday we'll meet again, until then rest easy.

As a former "Client" of Sgt. LaCourse I would like to express my sincere condolences to the LaCourse family. Sgt. LaCourse was well respected by inmates and staff at the Maine correctional center. He was a fair man, his quiet demeanor and sense of compassion will be a loss to all who knew Steve.
