Alen John Metivier, age 76, of Scarborough, Maine, passed away at his home on Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

He was born in Manchester, Connecticut on November 1, 1949, to G. John and Martha Metivier. He graduated from Cheverus High School in 1968, obtained an associate’s degree in business administration from the University of Southern Maine in 1970, and concluded his education at Southern Maine Vocational Technical Institute (SMVTI) earning his master’s electrician license. He worked for a variety of manufacturing companies including Bancroft & Martin, American National Can, B&M Bean, JJ Nissen Bakery, and Poland Spring Bottling where retired from in 2013 to care for his wife.

In 1973, he married his high school sweetheart, Deborah Jacobsen Metivier, and together they shared 40 wonderful years. They raised two daughters, Kellie and Kaitlin, in Standish. They created a home where all friends and family were welcomed, always with a refrigerator full of ice cream and a clean swimming pool for the kids. Alen was active in coaching youth sports and loved his days playing softball with his girls.

Outside of work he was known for his knack to fix or build anything, his love of candlepin bowling, golf, cribbage, bowhunting, travel, and spending time with family and friends. He worked tirelessly to care for others, including his wife, Debbie during her breast cancer battle and his brother-in-law, Jake, who lived with a spinal cord injury. He was always willing to lend a hand and share his talents in carpentry, electrical work, and project “supervision.”

Alen was predeceased by his wife Deborah, both parents, sisters Linda Hallock and Deborah Petty, brother-in-law Gary “Jake” Jacobsen, father and mother-in-law Kenneth and C. Joy Jacobsen, and twin grandsons, Wyatt and Sawyer. Alen is survived by his daughters, Kellie Ramsdell and husband Heath of Limington, Kaitlin Nash and husband Jim of Gorham, five grandchildren Dawson Ramsdell, Madelyn Ramdell, Mackenzie Ramsdell, Reagan Nash, and Harper Nash, and sisters Kathleen Peacock and Cynthia Babineau.
