Obituary for Milton R Merchant
Milton R. Merchant, 61, of Jonesport moved on to his heavenly home on June 23, 2022. Milton was the son of Ellery and Joyce Merchant. As 2 Timothy 4:7-8 states “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness…” so could Milton proudly say.
Milton loved God first and family second. Milton’s children and grandchildren were his pride and joy. Milton was their biggest fan. He loved attending their activities and cheering them on. Milton also took pleasure in all sorts of hunting. He especially enjoyed rabbit hunting with his dogs. Milton was very generous and competitive by nature. One of his favorite competitions was the Moosabec Lobster Boat races, where he won numerous trophies as witness to his success.
Milton will be greatly missed by the love of his life, Tonia; his sons, David and wife Kaitlin, and Mathew and his fiancée Courtney; grandsons, Uriah, Emery, Isaac, Saul, Osmin, and Silas. Milton will also be missed by his mother, Joyce; his siblings and their families, Ted, Ed, Wilton, Waylon, and Wilma; as well as other numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends.
There will be a celebration of his life at the Pentecostals of Jonesport in Jonesport, ME on Monday, June 27, 2022 at 2 PM. A committal will be held at Greenwood Cemetery following the service.
