Winslow – Jeffrey Charette, 56. It is with broken hearts that his family announces his unexpected passing on January 3, 2025, after several years of declining health. Jeff was born on October 5, 1968, in New Britain, Connecticut to Donald and Marie Charette. He grew up in Sidney and was a graduate of Messalonskee High School and KVCC. Jeff worked in the construction field, earned a Master Electrician's License, was self-employed, and worked at various companies until a serious back injury forced early retirement. In his younger years Jeff earned a black belt in Judo, enjoyed hunting, fishing, and poker. He loved the comradery of playing pool and darts with friends. He was predeceased by both his parents, a sister, and many relatives. Jeff is survived by his daughter and her family, sisters, aunts, and many cousins. We will remember Jeff for his quick wit, charisma, endearing smile, and his love, care, devotion, and companionship to his beloved mother these last 8 years. Dear Jeff, as Kansas would sing: Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Now with love, we cry for you, yet take comfort you are in a better place, free, and embraced, by mom and dad. A private service to be held at a later date.
