FRANKLIN — Michael Lucien Pevine, 68, passed away at home on Sept. 13, 2026.
He was born on Feb. 13, 1958, in Franklin, to Leo A. and Rita A. (Gagnon) Pevine.
Mike graduated from Franklin High School, and then served his country in the Navy aboard the USS Saratoga. He was a proud veteran. Mike later earned an electrical degree from New Hampshire Technical Institute (currently LRCC). He became a master electrician and started his own electrical business in 1998. He continued small jobs after his well-earned retirement last year.
Mike loved nature. He enjoyed deer hunting, though his children would joke that he shot more photos of deer and mouse friends than actual game. He hosted an annual bow shoot with friends and served his dad’s special barbecue chicken. He especially enjoyed family camping trips to Moosehead Lake, in Maine, to fish, look for moose, and enjoy the sunrises over the water. Mike had purposefully planned an upcoming knee surgery for the spring, so he could ski this winter. Then all spring and summer, you could find him in his blueberry and vegetable garden, and you’d better be ready for a tour.
Mike will be remembered by his loved ones for his larger-than-life perso...
