North Yarmouth-Michael Stephen Biskup of North Yarmouth, Maine passed away unexpectedly August 10th, 2023 at the age of 63. He experienced a medical event while enjoying a summer evening on a lake near home. Michael was born on June 16, 1960 in Portland, Maine. He graduated from Portland High School Class of 1978. He studied building construction at SMVTI and earned an Associate Degree in Building Construction. He later studied engineering at Center for Degree Studies. He started his career at EC Jordan, Whitman & Howard, Inc. and Squaw Bay Corp. He went on to work for Sevee & Maher Engineers, Inc. as an Engineering Technician while doing continuing education throughout his career there. He then spent many years as the Manager at the Board Barn. Recently he has been the Project Manager at Slocum Custom Builders and had a pre-retirement job as a Courier for Portland Sameday. Michael had a love for sports and enjoyed playing competitive racquetball, football and baseball which developed into a passion for coaching. From Little League coaching to travel basketball, he proudly was a part of starting the AAU Girls Basketball Team called the Maine Miracle. He went on to coach Women’s Basketball for the Central Maine Women’s Mustangs. Some of Michael’s fondest memories were winning little league and AAU championships. Michael truly enjoyed the competitive nature of team sports and being a part of the development of his players. He left a lasting impression on those he coached with his unique ability to build enthusiasm which led to a winning atmosphere. Michael lived every day devoted to bringing joy to his wife of 40 years, daughters and grandson. There wasn’t a day that went by without him visiting or sharing videos of his grandson, who brought him a tremendous amount of happiness. He also considered his golden retrievers Chelsea, Phoebe and Cricket to be members of his family and they brought daily joy to his life. Michael had a great love for outdoor adventures, including riding his e-bike throughout Franconia Notch, which held special memories including where he proposed to his wife. His happy place was on the lake fishing and kayaking, surrounded by close friends and family. His most recent traveling highlights were to Sedona and Bermuda, but was someone who liked to seize the moment in his daily routine. His sense of humor was literally out of this world. Anyone that shared a conversation with him was sure to have a good laugh. We would like to say a special thank you to the amazing first responders and incredible rescue team. It was very comforting knowing that he had the best possible care. Michael was predeceased by his parents Virginia (MacDowell) and Ignatzius Biskup and brother John Charlton.
