Heath attended Cushing schools while ultimately obtaining his General Education Diploma, which he was really proud of. Heath's love in life was the ocean and his family. He began his lifelong career of lobstering at the age of four, helping his dad on the boat. He was particularly good at and fond of splicing rope. Over the years Heath not only got the chance to work with his dad and brother, Brandon, on the boat, but several different captains in the Midcoast area. Most recently, Heath was promoted to supervisor at Friendship Trap Company. Heath loved his family and friends. He seemed to have a very special bond with each and every person he knew. He was known for walking into a room and having the ability to make everyone laugh. Most of all, Heath enjoyed and cherished time with his son. They enjoyed apple picking, four-wheeling, and camping together. Most recently you could find Heath relaxing and fishing off his boat on one of the local lakes. Heath was a survivalist; he loved collecting knives, swords and axes. Along with the outdoors, he enjoyed hunting with his dad. He received his moose permit many years ago and got the opportunity to take a hunting trip with his father up in the Allagash, where he got his first moose.
