Blaine Armand Fortin, 53, of Kennebunkport, unexpectedly passed away Thursday, May 13, 2021, at his home. He was born Oct. 14, 1967, in Biddeford to Armand and Charlotte (Verrier) Fortin. He married Tracy Cranston on Sept. 22, 2000.

Blaine graduated from Biddeford High School in 1986. He was a successful partner in the ownership of Quality Floor Finishers for many years before he changed gears and became the sole owner and proprietor of Quality Yard Services.

Blaine was one of those rare people who could light up a room and make anyone feel special. It was easy for him to make friends, had a huge heart and was overly generous whether it was with the love he showered upon his family or taking time to share his coveted hunting tips with his buddies.

Blaine was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, but his real passion lied in the craft of bow hunting. Beyond measure nothing made Blaine happier than being with his family. He was the most loving husband to Tracy and father to Christopher and Samantha. Son to Joe and Charlotte and brother to Gary. He loved family vacations, watching his children play sports and cooking.

Blaine is survived by his parents, Armand and Charlotte Fortin of Fort Myers, Florida; wife, Tracy Fortin of Kennebunkport; children, Christopher and Samantha Fortin of Kennebunkport; and brother, Gary Fortin and sister in law Larymar Miller of Naples, Florida.
