PARSONSFIELD- Timothy “Tim” James McElwain passed away on September 14th, 2025, at his home in Parsonsfield, surrounded by his loved ones after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born March 5th, 1967, in Lynn, Massachusetts, son of Norris “Macky” C. McElwain and Louise A. (Hartnett) Piercey. Tim attended school at Par Sem and graduated from Lakes Region Vocational School. After graduation he worked for contractors building homes for many years. In 2019 he became a shop fitter at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
Tim enjoyed hunting with his brother Tom, his niece, nephews and friends Joe and Wally, kayaking, mountain biking, working on cars, attending car shows, and spending time with family.
Tim never missed a family event and was always there for every special occasion. He wasn’t afraid to crawl under a car and get dirty to help you figure out what was wrong. He always wanted to help those he loved.
