With great sadness, Zackary "Zack" Erskine, 28, passed away unexpectedly. Zack grew up in Dixmont and lived in Dexter as an adult. He worked as a traveling millwright, a path that fit his personality perfectly. Rather than sitting behind a desk, Zack chose the road — working with his hands, traveling for jobs, and staying constantly on the move. Known for his dedication and reliability, he could always be counted on by friends and family alike. Outside of work, Zack loved motorcycles, side-by-sides, driving fast, hunting, and fishing — anything that gave him a sense of freedom and adrenaline. He was the life of the party, had a gift for making people laugh. His quick wit, unfiltered humor, and big personality made him unforgettable to those who knew him. Zack was predeceased by his maternal grandfather, Jay Smith, and his paternal grandparents, Elton and Betty Erskine. He is survived by his fiancée, Nicole Jenkins; daughter, Maddie Jenkins; parents, Mark and Chrissy Erskine; brother, Nate Erskine and his wife Kathryn; twin nieces, Emersyn and Hadley; maternal grandmother, Marilyn Smith; and his beloved dogs, Conrad and Chico, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Zack will be remembered for his big heart and for living life full throttle. A Celebration of Life will be held February 15th, 2026 at 3pm at Dixmont Goldcrest Riders, 31 Cates Road Dixmont, ME.
