Michael Albert Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Michael was born in Augusta, Maine on August 28, 1968. He grew up in Hallowell and graduated from Hall-Dale High School, class of 1986, where he excelled in sports including football, basketball and track & field. He worked for Pine State Trading Company for 29 years before following his dream of owning his own business as a successful carpenter.
Michael loved all things Maine especially Rangeley, Moosehead, Lubec and Pemaquid. He was a passionate fan of the New England Patriots and Boston Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox. He was an amazing cook and grill master. He was an avid fisherman, a talented artist, and loved music, especially Hank Williams, Jr. & Jimmy Buffett, attending many concerts. He enjoyed traveling with his wife, Heather, to Sedona, AZ and his many trips to Florida to visit his in-laws, Steve & Marcia Sargent.
Michael is survived by his parents Joseph and Mary Ellen (Rice) Albert, of Chelsea; wife Heather (Sargent) Albert, of West Gardiner; daughter Emily Albert and her partner Eli; son Matthew Albert; sisters Laurie and Greg Bailey, Jennifer and Frank Brown; many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins, all of whom he loved fiercely and deeply.
Michael's celebration of life will be held on Thursday, July 18th at the Pittston Fair Grounds from 1pm-5pm. In true Mike fashion, wear your favorite Hawaiian or tie-dye shirt.
"Please remember the good times."

I married into the family. I am very thankful for Mike & Heather "adopting" my son Ryan through his and Emily's high school years. Mike and Heather provided stability to Ryan through my divorce. Ryan played an old video of himself and Matthew playing "knights"....Mike and Heather had wrapped them both up with cardboard and duct tape. I could hear Mike's laugh and Heather. I was so happy to hear his laugh one more time....and then Mike saying, "Game ovah". I am thankful for Mike and Heather taking Ryan's high school graduation picture out in the woods in Rangley. Everytime I look at Ryan's picture, I think of Mike, Heather, Emily and Matthew. Mike was such a beautiful, giving soul. Give 'em some laughs in Heaven, Mike! I hope you found the peace you were searching for.
