WINDHAM - Steven M. Lewis (St. Pierre), 54, died from complications of a massive heart attack on Friday, June 10, 2016, at Maine Medical Center, surrounded by his family. He was born on August 1, 1961, in Methuen, Mass, the son of Albert and Pauline St.Pierre.
Steve graduated from Lewiston High School in 1979. Shortly after graduating, he moved to North Carolina to attend college. He lived in North Carolina for many years and worked at many jobs, including his own jet ski rental and parasailing business in Nags Head, N.C., and Key West, Fla. He moved back to Maine in 1999 where he met the love of his life, Ellen Preston. Together they have spent over 15 years enjoying life and traveling to places like Alaska, Florida, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona where they slept out under the stars along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.
He graduated from Mercy School of Radiologic Technology in June of 2008, then continued his education to graduate from Nuclear Medicine school in 2011. Steve was employed by Mercy Hospital as a radiologic technologist, lab assistant.
Steve loved being with his six grandchildren. Whenever he had a day off, he would make time to be with them, whether it was an all-day trip to the mountains of New Hampshire or a few minutes to go get ice cream. Over the last few years, trips with the kids included Orlando to see Sea World, Busch Gardens, Lego Land, Universal Studios, etc. Steve loved the roller coasters as much as the children did.
He had a love of music and enjoyed playing the piano, the guitar, and the harmonica. He and his friends would sit around for hours strumming guitar, singing and laughing.
Steve's passion was anything to do with flight. He loved hanggliding and flying. His dream was to obtain his pilot license and build his own plane.
He was predeceased by his grandfather, Gil St. Pierre.
