Publish in a newspaper
He was born August 1, 1960 in Portland, Maine, the son of the late Paul S. and Arlene M. (Robinson) Chipman, and graduated from Westbrook High School in 1978 and has resided in the Westbrook area all of his life.
Stephen worked at S. D. Warren Company (SAPPI) Fine Paper for 45 years and retired at the end of 2023. He particularly enjoyed his work schedule which allowed him time to enjoy golfing, sporting events, family gatherings, and the beach and one of his favorite spots was Higgin's Beach.
Stephen loved professional sports, especially the New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox and enjoyed watching the game with his only son Mitchell. His presence was one-of-a-kind and he leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and countless memories with his friends and family.
He will also be remembered for his kind heart, love of his family, and his infectious laughter. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his son Mitchell and fiancé Ashley Crosby of Portland and his grandson Maxwell Chipman. In addition, he is survived by his three sisters: Patti and her husband Philip Daszuta of Westbrook, Sandy Chipman of Brunswick, Donna and her husband Larry Robinson of Poland, four nieces, four nephews and ten great nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents and his grandparents Hanno and Ella Chipman and Frank and Aura Robinson.
Stephen Chipman's life will be celebrated and honored at Dolby, Blais & Segee located at 35 Church Street, Westbrook, ME 04092 on Saturday, February 1, 2025. Visiting hours will be from 1-3 p. m. and a funeral service will be held directly after from 3-4 p.m. May he rest in peace.

Steve Chipman, through all the years that separated us, it was always a breath of fresh air to get together with you. You were among my closest friends as we were growing up and now, (of course!) I feel such a loss just knowing you're no longer among the living. For all the choices we've made as we've weaved and bobbed through our lives, we live with (and died with, obviously.) I wish things were different, my friend. I will cherish the MANY awesome and hilarious memories we lived and experienced. There will always be a special place in my heart which will be occupied by you. I'd bet the mere utterance of the word "thumb ball" would have evoked a smile and a laugh, "Prune juice yogurt would elicit a belly laugh (it just did for me, though I hadn't even thought the words for many, many years!) My 16th birthday party, singing "Welcome To The Machine" will hopefully bring a smile and a chuckle to everyone who was there and who reads this. If I'm wrong and there actually is some sort of life after our death, I hope you get to meet up with your Dad. I know his passing was hard on you. And if it is indeed the case, then I will hold on to the glimmer of hope that our paths will cross again! Regardless, you are on the journey and my strongest hope is that you are able to Rest In Peace. -Your old friend Gene

There never was nor will there ever be anyone quite like our beloved "Chip". His infectious laugh and spontaneous nature are unmatched. I will consider it both an honor and privilege to have known him as a friend and to be the victim of many a heartfelt grapples. You will be missed...
