Shaun Douglas Coombs Obituary (1978 - 2021)

Winslow, Maine--Shaun Douglas Coombs, 43, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, September 12, 2021. Shaun was born in Waterville, Maine on June 29, 1978, the son of Eugene and Cynthia (Colburn) Coombs. He attended Fairfield schools, and graduated from Lawrence High School in 1996, forever remaining faithful to Bulldog Nation. Shaun was predeceased by his father, Eugene Coombs, and his mother, Cynthia (Colburn) Coombs. Shaun was most passionate about being a dad to Haley, Dylan, and Lucas. He was truly the most amazing father. Shaun was a coach and a mentor to many Lawrence Bulldogs. He loved and played football, basketball and baseball growing up. As an adult, he gave his time and support to the Fairfield sports community. He started by coaching his own children, Haley, and Dylan when they began playing sports. He volunteered with local PAL sports programs, helped with concessions, organized tournaments, encouraged all the kids involved in sports and was “that guy” at many games, who let the refs know how they were doing! Shaun was a “homebody” who loved nothing more than being surrounded by his family. Shaun is survived by his wife and best friend, Melissa, and his three children: Haley, Dylan, and Lucas. Shaun’s family was his world. He is also survived by his siblings: Timothy Hall and wife, Lisa, of Cleveland, Tennessee, Stephanie (Haney) Hall and husband, Albert of Canaan, Maine, Brian Coombs of Solon, Maine, and Michael Coombs, and wife, Jody, of Skowhegan, Maine. He also leaves behind his nieces and nephews: Megan (Haney) Bizier and husband, Dan, James Haney, Sydney and Justin Hall, Travis Coombs, and Jazmyne Coombs. In lieu of flowers Shaun would want donations made to the Lawrence High School Boosters Clubs to benefit all of the Bulldog athletes. There is an account set up for the family for those who have asked specifically to help and provide support. Please send any donations for the family to: New Dimensions FCU, 94 Silver St., Waterville, ME 04901. Please make checks payable to Melissa Coombs and place “Melissa Savings” in the memo line.
