Down East Town Copes with the death of the 3rd local fisherman this year

The people in and around the city of Addison in Washington County are finished with the third death this year of a local fisherman.

In mid-January, Chester and Aaron Barrett's father-son duo run at sea when their boat was suddenly influenced, in heavy seas when they were on the way from Edmunds in Cobscook Bay to their home port of South Adison.

The 26-year-old Jaxson Marston from Addison died on April 25, when a rope 25 brought on board 25 to life, a boat in Gouldersboro when it fished off the coast of Massachusetts. Boston.com reported that the snatching rope met Marston, whose neck was broken in the accident.

The coast guard reacted to the emergency call of the boat and brought Marston and another injured crew member, Jamie Bailey from Cherryfield. Both men were brought to the Beverly Hospital, where Marston was declared deceased, reported Portland Press Herald.

Marston and his girlfriend had a 1-year-old daughter and expected another child, according to social media posts and news reports.

In both accidents, the boats were manipulated for the winter to fish scallops, although sudden effects existed on the way and did not actively fish as it sank.

Another Addison -Fischer, Dean Barrett, knew all three men well. Chester was his uncle, Aaron was his cousin and Marston worked as a strict man on his lobster boat for six years.

Barrett wrote on Facebook that Marston's death “pull his heart cords hard”. He posted photos of him, Marston and others who were next to tuna they had caught.

“Without you here, the same will not be here,” wrote Barrett. “[I] I will always be grateful for you, old boy. “

In a separate SMS, Barrett wrote that he and Marston were “great friends” outside of work and that he feels “sick” about the loss.

“We learned together, we worked together, we loved together, man,” wrote Barrett on social media. “I'll never forget you.”

Joshua Stubbs, a chosen Addison Selectman and a friend of Marston, also went on social media to express his grief.

“I had problems finding the right words all day,” said Stubbs. “I've known you for a long time. I loved you like a brother.”

Marston was not only a fisherman and family man, but was also an enthusiastic hunter. The Bangor Daily News published a feature story last October about how Marston killed a 500 pound black bear as “One Eye”.

On Thursday afternoon, online donations for the families of Marston and Bailey had collected almost 120,000 and 20,000 US dollars.
