Jason "Acorn" Plummer

Jason â€œAcornâ€ Plummer, 35, of Buxton, passed away October 6, 2012 due to complications from Hemochromatosis, an Iron Overload Blood Disorder. His mother was at his side when he passed. (Hemochromatosis is a gene defect which causes the body to store excess iron; sometimes symptoms are not noticed and become fatal when the internal organs are damaged as a result). Jason was a graduate of Westbrook High School. Throughout his school years, Jason played baseball and pitched for Little League through Senior Leagues and he pitched many no-hitter innings and games. He had a few close friends in school and they would hang out after school and weekends and eat chicken patty sandwiches. Jason loved them and made sure his mother had plenty in the freezer. He also loved Eggnog during the holiday and would tease his mom by just drinking it out of the carton. Jason held down two jobs starting with a paper route which he did for 4 years and took a second job after school at the local pet shop which resulted in his first pet, a ferret. Jason after high school went to SMTC to study HVAC and Electrical where he eventually landed work as a Journeyman at Eastern Electric for 10 years, then moving on to E.S. Boulos for 3 years. He was currently working at Modern Rug Cleaning until his illness prevented him from doing so. His employers and co-workers always had good things to say about his personality and work ethics. He could get along with anyone and people seemed to bond with him. Jason was a very meticulous, conscientious person in everything he did, whether it was personal or with his work. He was an old sole, set in his ways, old school really. Jason was a very private person who kept to himself, he had a few close friends, but he was happy staying home and living a quiet life. Jason was very passionate about animals; he especially loved his Husky, Jasmine and his pit bull Gus, who has since passed away. He always had a great smile, a great sense of humor and his humor did not diminish once throughout his illness. Famous for his one line zingers one couldnâ€™t help but immediately like him. His nurses at the Gosnell Hospice would tell his mother about his sense of humor and how he would make them laugh with his dry humor. He touched quite a few people during his stay there. His smile, his laugh and those big blue eyes would make you melt and just feel good! Jason loved motorcycles; he started out with a moped, moved to a street bike and eventually owned his first Harley. He loved riding and would laugh when his mother told him he was giving her gray hairs. Later down the road though the tables were turned when his mom got her bike and he was teaching her, he would say Ma, you are giving me gray hairs, youâ€™re killing me here and they would just laugh together on that one. He constantly told his mom, Ma you will live forever. They would tell each other they were driving one another crazy but they didnâ€™t go more than a few days without telling each other they loved one another. Jason loved his niece Skylar and nephew Dylan a lot, and they loved him. He used to tease them and missed them a lot when they moved to Texas. He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents Lewis and Sylvia Brown. Jason is survived by his mom, Terri Brown of Poland; his father Larry Plummer of Portland; a sister Jayme Plummer, a niece Skylar Barden and a nephew Dylan Barden, all of Texas; also his paternal grandparents Robert and Bertha Wentworth of Windham; his aunt and uncle Bill and Sherri Tardiff, and cousins Heath and Cody of Gray. Jason will be missed by those who have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know him. He touched the hearts of many people along the way and more so during his illness. His mom will miss him the most of all and he will be forever in her heart. Visiting hours will be from 5 to 7 PM Thursday at Blais & Hay Funeral Home, 35 Church St., Westbrook. A memorial service will follow at 7 PM. Interment will be private. On line condolences may be expressed at www.blaisandhayfuneralhome.com.
