Paul "Jeff" Felker Obituary (1951 - 2025)

Paul Jeffrey “Jeff” Felker, 74, died quietly in Calais, Maine, on December 12, 2025, after a short aggressive cancer took his energy and his strength. He said he was blessed to live pretty well, and he could try to die well, and he did. Jeff was born in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, on June 13, 1951, to Paul Franklin Felker Jr. and Jane Elizabeth (Alexander) Felker. Jeff is survived by his sister Christine in Maine, and by special cousins, neighbors, and friends. He was bright and funny, and he tried to be thoughtful and helpful. He was appreciative of kindness. He was a Navy Seabee and worked in the building trades until his retirement. He completed a lot of projects with and for family and friends. He enjoyed his travels around the country. Jeff loved the woods, the water, the sky, all the creatures, his sister’s cats, his neighborhood in Maine, his conversations with people he met, and his walks at Moosehorn and at the Garcelon Track. If you feel drawn to remember him, take a walk or sit by the water, smile at someone or start a friendly conversation, or just perform any random act of kindness. A memorial service will be held at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Calais, Maine, in the spring of 2026.
