LEWISTON and CUSHING — Todd O. Keyes, age 57, of Lewiston, passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 5, 2024, after a period of declining health. Todd was born in Rockland, Maine on July 25, 1967, to Sumner and Alberta (Spear) Keyes. Todd grew up in Cushing and attended local schools and was graduated from Georges Valley High School in 1986.

After graduation, Todd went into the workforce and worked at North End Marine in Rockland and digging clams. He later became a lobsterman, working on the stern of the F/V Jessie Jane alongside captain Richard Olson for many years before his unfortunate accident in 2009 left him confined to a wheelchair for his remaining years.

Todd was an avid outdoorsman and greatly enjoyed fishing and hunting. As a child he loved to hunt rabbits, as an adult he was always hunting deer and even one got a bear. Todd will always be remembered for his love of the great outdoors.

Todd also loved his family, he greatly enjoyed time with family and recent parties thrown for him with his mom, siblings, nieces, and great nieces and nephews. After his accident, Todd loved visits from his family and friends, there was always a smile on his face, and he loved seeing pictures and videos and having a good laugh over stories and things he had missed and enjoyed taking a stroll down memory lane.
