PORTLAND – Jeffery Scott MacMillan, 55, of Portland, passed away peacefully on Nov. 1, 2025, after a two-year battle with cancer. Until the end, Jeff maintained his happiness, sense of humor, and deep gratitude for his family and friends.

Jeff’s goal in life was simple – to be happy. Being outdoors in nature brought him joy, which led him to a successful career in landscaping. His skill, dedication, and love for his work were well known in both Connecticut and Arkansas. Jeff also had a lifelong love of games – board games, video games, and card games – through which he built many lasting friendships.

For 21 wonderful years, Jeff shared his life with his beloved wife, Stacy Owen. Together they built a home with love and mutual support. Jeff adored his daughters, Michelle “Salem” MacMillan and Monica “Quing” MacMillan, encouraging their passions and standing by them. His family was truly the heart of his world.

He was born in Bath, on May 2, 1970, the son of Stewart MacMillan and the late Candance Bradford Constantino. Jeff spent most of his life in Connecticut and graduated from Daniel Hand High School, Class of 1989.

He is survived by his loving wife, Stacy Owen, and his daughters, Salem and Quing, of Portland. He is also survived by his father, Stew MacMillan of Middletown, Conn., and his siblings: Donald MacMillan of Madison, Conn.; Deborah Feldman of Cheshire, Conn.; Joshua MacMillan of Ledyard, Conn.; Bettina Blanchard of Portland; Kathryn Staton of Harrisonburg, Va.; and Christopher Sheehan of Delray Beach, Fla.;

Friends and family are invited to a celebration of life event in May 2026. Details to be announced separately.
