Donald Frank Main, age 78, passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 29, 2023 in Oklahoma.

Don was born in Damariscotta, Maine on April 22, 1945 to Harold and A. Lillian (Sidelinger) Main. He and his four siblings were raised by Carl and Lillian Main. He grew up in Wiscasset attending local schools, but moved out of Maine before he turned 20, first to Boston, Massachusetts with his brother Richie, then to Oklahoma where he spent most of his life.

Don “loved” life. Don was an avid fisherman. The photo accompanying his obituary was taken during one of his trips home for a visit to Maine, striper fishing with his brother Jim. In Oklahoma, he spent many weekends at the lake fishing for catfish.

He loved Oklahoma, country music, his red Chevy pickup truck, his cowboy boots and being outdoors. Don bought homes through the years to rent. Being a landlord meant being a handyman. He could fix just about anything that went wrong. At one point in his life he served as a pastor. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and strived to live and share the message of Christ.

He lost both of his parents, his stepfather Carl, brother Richie and an infant son Leslie Main.

He leaves behind to cherish his memories his long-term girlfriend of 35 years, Shirley Goodger; his son, Donald Main Jr. of Texas; two brothers, Harold E. Main of Boston, Massachusetts and Jim Main of Wiscasset; and sister Margaret (Midge) Pafume of Texas. Also, honorary grandchildren, Dallas Hall of Washington, D.C., Eric Smith and wife Cyndi of Royce City, Texas and their two children Aryka (Erica) Smith and Aiden Scarberry.
