John Michael Roinestad, a beloved son, brother, fiancé, father, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on June 25, 2026. Born on September 4, 1979, in Augusta, Maine, John brought light and laughter into the lives of all who knew him. His departure leaves a profound void in the hearts of his family and community.
John was the cherished son of Linda Roinestad, and he carried forth the love and warmth passed down by his late grandparents, Patricia and Norman Roinestad. John shared a special bond with his brother, the late Chad Healey, and his sister, Tricia Healey, who survives him.
John's life was enriched by his 28-year partnership with his fiancé, Tracy Terrell. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. John was a proud father to his son Dakoda Roinestad and his daughters Lindsey, Lauren, and Gracelyn Roinestad, each of whom he adored and guided with a gentle hand and an open heart.
John's legacy is one of warmth and generosity. He was a kind-hearted man who worked tirelessly to provide for his family and help others in need. His laughter, wisdom, and kindness touched the lives of many.
John's presence will be missed by his extended family and many cherished friends who considered themselves fortunate to have known him.
As a self-employed contractor, owner and operator of Maine Roofing and Siding in Richmond, ME alongside his son Dakoda, John was known for his reliability and commitment to his craft, earning the trust and respect of his community.
Outside of work, John was a man of many passions. He found joy in the great outdoors, often spending his free time hunting and fishing. His love for poker tournaments and collecting vintage treasures reflected his zest for life and his keen eye for the beauty in simplicity. Above all, John cherished time spent with his family. He was a devoted father whose love knew no bounds, and he relished every moment shared with his children.
As we remember John, his family wishes to express their gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date, where those who loved him can come together to honor and cherish him.
May he rest in peace, surrounded by the love he so freely gave.
