Jimmy L. Main, 69, of Boothbay Harbor, passed away at his home on October 8th, 2023.
Jimmy was born in Boothbay Harbor, Maine on June 30th, 1954, to parents Frank and Jeanette (Benner) Main. He grew up in Boothbay Harbor and attended local schools.
After high school, Jimmy went on to join the United States Army until he was honorably discharged in February of 1974. He then served in the National Guard from September 3rd, 1979, until a knee injury led him to be discharged on October 21st, 1979.
Jimmy was a jack of all trades. From a young age, he dug clams and worms. Throughout his life, he worked in masonry with his father, was a real estate salesman and appraiser, a car salesman, and owned Maplewood cabinets with his sister in Florida. He also ran the Colburn House in Boothbay and managed some hotels when he lived in Florida, most recently he started his own taxi company, Main-Land Taxi. He loved his regulars like they were his own family.
Jimmy loved everything to do with cars, whether it was buying them or attending car shows. He won many trophies with his GTO during his time in FL. He also loved sports and was a die-hard Yankees and Packers fan. He would travel the entire state to watch his grandkids play sports, and even to watch a musical or two. He loved playing on the adult softball league in his younger years and built many great friendships from his team members. He also loved amusement parks, his favorite being Disney and Busch Gardens. Every year for Christmas, Jimmy would buy tons of toys for the Toys for Tots bins. He loved the community where he lived, especially visits to Ocean Point.
To Jimmy, family was everything. His family was the most important thing about him, and he would do anything for his grandkids. He was truly a family man, and he will be so missed.
Jimmy was predeceased by his parents, sister Beth Ann Main, and brother Michael Main.
He is survived by his children, Shannon Leeman and husband Colter; Jim Main II and wife Nicole; April Garza of Washington; Crystal Cotham and husband Victor of Illinois; and Erik Main of Florida; siblings, Russell Main; Susan Main Perry and husband Jeff of Florida; Tracy Dunton and husband Eric; and Frank Main and wife Lisa; grandchildren Jordan, Skyla, Finn, Deanna, Isaac, Ben, Alex, Dilan, Maria and Sara; and many, many nieces, nephews and friends.
