Remembering Jeffrey M. LaPointe

Jeffrey LaPointe was born on June 25, 1968, in Lewiston, Maine, and grew up in nearby Auburn, where he attended Fairview Elementary School and later Edward Little High School, graduating with the Class of 1986. Even as a young man, Jeff stood out for his big heart, sharp wit, and unfailing loyalty. He was a trumpet soloist in the marching band, a devoted friend-especially to his lifelong buddy Joe Morin, whom he met in kindergarten-and someone who loved adventure, laughter, and the simple thrill of trying something new.

After high school, Jeff began working at Union Camp before a foot injury led him to Enefco, where he spent many years in purchasing and began discovering his natural gift for leadership. He had an eye for talent, and if Jeff hired you, you could take it as the highest vote of confidence-he truly believed you were the right person for the job. His teams trusted him, respected him, and knew he genuinely cared about their success. Hardworking to his core, Jeff always said that a person's word was everything, and he lived by that standard every day.

Jeff later joined Five County Credit Union, where he managed the call center for ten years and took enormous pride in growing the department. His ability to mentor and develop employees was one of his greatest strengths. When he eventually moved to New York, he returned to his purchasing roots at Hanes Supply, a place he loved for both the work and the people he worked alongside.

He was deeply rooted in community and tradition. Jeff was a 32nd degree Mason affiliated with Rabboni Lodge #150 in Auburn, and he was also part of the Kora Shrine's Kora Cycle Corps in Lewiston. Whether it was through work, volunteer service, or friendships, his life was defined by connection, reliability, and generosity.

Jeff was the kind of person who always had a project going. He loved tinkering in the garage-fixing his tractor, taking on home improvements, or simply fiddling with something until it worked better than before. He enjoyed time on his computer, loved a good baseball or hockey game, and never passed up a chance to attend a Rochester Red Wings game or root for his beloved Red Sox. He was just as happy in winter, spending his younger years skiing and snowmobiling with friends. Back at home, he cherished nights around the campfire making s'mores, laughing with family, and soaking up every moment of togetherness.

Despite being adventurous, Jeff had one famously consistent dislike: vegetables-green ones in particular. The running family joke for years. But every Thanksgiving, in honor of his mother, he would eat exactly one carrot, a little tradition that says more about his love and loyalty than the vegetable ever did.

Jeff and Amanda's love story began in a simple but meaningful way-sitting next to each other while working at Paychex. While Jeff quietly focused on his work, Amanda made conversation, determined to get to know him. A friendship grew, and even after he moved away, they stayed connected. When he eventually returned to Maine, they reunited, fell in love, and married at the kitchen table with only a couple of witnesses present-something perfectly "them": small, genuine, heartfelt.

Family was the center of Jeff's world. He was his children's biggest fan, showing up to every activity, every game, every moment that mattered. He loved cooking for his family-often joking, "If you leave my house hungry, that's your own fault." He was also a true lover of all animals, treating all of them with the same gentle kindness he showed the people he cared about. Summers meant trips to the drive-in, evenings around the fire, and taking rides in the VW Cabrio with Baxter, his beloved dog. Anything that brought the family together made him happiest.

Jeff's taste in entertainment was wonderfully him: 80s rock blasting through the speakers, comedies playing on TV, and the occasional thriller when the mood struck. But truly, the thing he never got enough of was time with the people he loved.

He missed his family deeply when distance kept him away, and he carried the lessons his parents taught him throughout his life-responsibility, compassion, honesty, and the importance of showing up for the people you love. Those lessons shaped him into the man everyone knew: kind, loyal, trustworthy, honest, and endlessly caring.

Jeff put everyone before himself. He made sure those around him felt supported, valued, and deeply loved. He was a problem solver, a protector, a builder of relationships, and someone whose presence made life a little lighter and a lot brighter.

Jeffrey LaPointe was truly one of a kind-irreplaceable-and he leaves behind a legacy of love, loyalty, hard work, laughter, and family. He touched countless lives, and he will be missed more than words can say.
