Jake Thomas Halpin
1995-2023
SCARBOROUGH—Jake Halpin, 27, of Scarborough, died Friday February 10 while doing one of his favorite activities snowmobiling near St. Agatha, Maine.
He was born in Portland May 26, 1995, the son of Tim and Cynthia (Lyons) Halpin. Jake grew up in Scarborough where he participated in all the youth activities of youth soccer and baseball. He was an active member of the Scarborough Community where he developed lifelong friendships. He attended what was then St. Joseph’s (St. Brigid) Elementary School where his mother, Cindy, is a teacher. He followed in his grandfather’s, father and sister’s footsteps graduating from Cheverus High School in 2013.
Jake loved everything outdoors. Together with his older sister, Thaley, the Halpin’s enjoyed many family activities, from Snowmobiling and Snowboarding in the winter, to camping and hunting in the fall and later in life spending time at their Camp on Little Sebago boating, tubing, and waterskiing. The family made a lot of great memories and often shared them with family and friends. Jake grew up as part of the extended Risbara family spending time in Eustis, Maine doing everything fun that had a motor attached to it, four wheeling, snowmobiling, dirt biking. He was known by all as a friendly, fun-loving guy and he always had a smile for you, which became infectious no matter what kind of day you were having.
At the time of his passing Jake was employed at Risbara Bros. Construction as a site foreman where his father has been employed for the last 20+ years.
Jake is survived by his parents; his sister Thaley Halpin Donoghue and her husband Trevor and their daughter Adelyn Grace of Durham; his grandmother, Darcy Lyons of Skowhegan; his aunts, Mary Beth Halpin of New York, Deborah Halpin and her husband Dick Fearon of Florida, Carol Ann and her husband George Harrison of Colorado, and Julie and her husband Joe Pearson of Florida; his uncle, Thomas Lyons and his fiancé Brandy Newton of Skowhegan; and his cousins, Alex Lyons, Connor Pearson, Jameson Pearson and his wife Haley, Kathryn and Evelyn Harrison; and longtime sweetheart Hannah Daniell.
Jake was predeceased by his Grandparents Richard and Patricia Halpin and Thomas Lyons Sr.
The family wants to express our gratitude to all that helped, his great riding friends, and the Maine Warden Service.

Tim, Cindy & Thaley~
Words cannot possibly capture Jake’s loss. I remember that smile in kindergarten, first grade & beyond. It was infectious. Rocco remembers Jake fondly as do we all. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Tim, Cindy and Thaley, There is nowhere to begin. It is incomprehensible to imagine what you are feeling. Some people make a larger impact on this world and Jake was one who did. Though it doesn’t seem fair for him to have been called Home so soon, he left his mark from a young age with his infectious smile and joyful heart. We will find joy in remembering his kindness and laughter and hold all of you tightly in our hearts as you navigate missing him so dearly. Be comforted knowing he brought light to the lives of so many and will be remembered fondly always. With much love from all of the Willauers, but, most especially, Cathy, David and John.
I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY. MY HEART BREAKS FOR YOUR LOSS. JAKE WAS SO VIBRANT, FULL OF LIFE LITTLE ONE. LOVE AND PRAYERS TO YOU ALL.

We lived next door to Jake’s grandparents, Dick & Pat Halpin for many years back in the day. Our children were friends. We are so sorry to read of Jake’s passing. Our prayers & condolences are with his family.
Tim, Cindy & Thaley…I am so sorry for your loss. The emptiness I feel in my heart is only offset by the joyous memories I have from watching Jake grow into the wonderful person he is. He touched so many in ways he never knew. Whether it was his wonderful personality, infectious smile or willingness to help, a room was always fuller when Jake was in it. I will miss him dearly.
Rest peacefully Jake.
Love,
Uncle Chuck

“I don’t know but I don’t like it”
I keep thinking about the song “always remember you young” by Thomas Rhett. The loss of Jake is immeasurable. I’ll never forget him and I’ll always remember him as Thaley’s little brother. He was so gullible but it was because he had such a kind heart. His laugh was the best. It’s hard to believe I’ll never just run into him again on the lake or somewhere just by chance. He will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace, Jake. I know Luke was up there waiting for you with his ball and a big sloppy kiss.
I had the privilege of knowing Jake as he frequented Romeo’s in Scarborough where I worked for two years. He and his close friends were my absolute favorite faces to see walking through the door. Before I moved South, him and his friend and roommate threw me a going away celebration I’ll always remember. After my wife and I married in June last year, we stopped by Romeo’s to see some old faces. I’m really happy Jake came to have a cold pint with me one last time. As everyone who knows Jake, he always had a smile on his face and brightened the room. I’m so happy to have met him. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. Rest In Peace, Jake. We’ll meet again sometime.
Kind person
Tim an I would like to send our Deepest Sympathy to Jake’s family.I have worked with Jake for some time now .
As a co-worker.will have lots of memories,working at Risbara Bros. Co
It’s so hard to wrap our heads around this. I can’t imagine never seeing that smile again or hearing his infectious laugh. Tim and Cindy and family we are so very sorry for your loss.
