Donald William Agren

Don was born on January 17, 1950 in Norway Maine, the youngest child of Samuel and Leah Agren. Don grew up on a dairy farm in North Auburn where he enjoyed fresh whole milk and exploring nature. He developed a love for mechanics through working on his first car, rebuilding the engine giving each part its own color.

Don fell in love with his wife of 53 years, Linda at the age of 17. They were married on August 15, 1970 and together built an amazing family with their children Julie, Jessica and Kristopher.

In 1973 Don took his love for mechanics to the next level and created Agren Appliance Service Company which he owned and operated until his failing health in December 2022. Don loved being able to help his customers fix the old instead of buying the new, while making things affordable as he greatly respected the value of broken things needing a little TLC.

Don enjoyed life in so many ways and was fortunate to have had so many experiences including: Snowmobiling, ocean trips on his Sea Ray, trips to many destinations and family gatherings with his beloved grandchildren Cassie, Adam, Sara, Emma, Nick and Ben of whom he was so proud.

His love for animals, his long-winded jokes and stories will be greatly missed yet carried on by his family and friends. We thank him for the memories and hope to continue to make him proud.

Don is survived by wife Linda, daughter Julie and husband Bob, daughter Jess. Six grandchildren: Cassie, Adam, Sara, Emma, Nick and Ben. Sister Carol, brother Douglas and wife Claudette, sister-in-laws Rita Raymond, Betty Dallaire and Lorraine Obie and many loved nieces and nephews.

Don was predeceased by his beloved son Kris, his parents Sam and Leah, mother in law Melvina Obie, niece Sarah, brother-in-laws, George Raymond, Normand Dallaire, Buster (Gerard) Obie and nephew James Raymond Sr.

Services will be held on November 2, 2023 at the St Peters Chapel on 31 Deer Road in Lewiston at 2 PM followed by the committal and prayers in the Mausoleum.
