1969 – 2016

AUBURN — Phillip A. St. Amand, 46, passed away at his home Tuesday, May 3. He was born in Fayetteville, N.C., on Nov. 5, 1969, the son of Joseph and Jeannette (Morin) St. Amand.

Phil grew up in Durham and graduated from Edward Little High School. He devoted his life to his country, as he served as an active member in the U.S. Army Reserve, having done two tours in Iraq. Phil’s highest rank held was sergeant first class E-7. He was an active member in various groups in his community including the Wounded Warriors Project, the Veterans Adaptive Sports and Training (V.A.S.T.) and Oddfellows and was involved in Maine archery. A perfect day for Phil would involve taking his wife, Giselle, and his daughter, Kayla, out fishing on Worthley Pond. When he had time to himself, he loved working on his cars, and anyone who has been to his house would know that his property is filled with his various projects. While involved with the military, Phil worked for the state of Maine as a mechanic where he did numerous jobs.

Phil is survived by his wife, Giselle of Auburn; his daughter, Kayla of Gorham; his parents of Moravia, N.Y.; his sister, Lisa and her husband, Ike Swayze of Moravia, N.Y.; and his service dog, Brandy, who was his trusted companion.

He was predeceased by his fallen brothers in the military.
