Tedd J. Giroux (1957–2026) Augusta - It is with deep sorrow that we share the sudden passing of Tedd Giroux on May 19, 2026, after a brief battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Tedd died the way he lived—with gentleness and courage, grace and gratitude for the beautiful life he was blessed to live. Tedd was born on March 15, 1957, in Augusta, Maine, to Donald J. and Louise (Staples) Giroux. He attended Augusta schools and graduated from Cony High School with the Class of 1975, ranking in the top 10 percent of his class. Tedd's career in the printing industry spanned more than 44 years. After studying at CMVTI (now Central Maine Community College), he joined Letter Systems, Inc. in 1978. Following the company's acquisition of J.S. McCarthy in 2000, he continued his work there until his retirement in 2022, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, professionalism, and hard work. Throughout his life, Tedd was deeply committed to his community. During the 1990s, he served for several years on the Advisory Committee for the CMVTI Graphic Arts Program. He was also a member of the U.S. Postal Mailing Committee, served on the Board of Directors of Augusta North Little League, and was a proud member of Augusta Elks Lodge #964. After retirement, Tedd and his wife Susan volunteered at the Augusta Food Bank. Tedd had a special love for youth baseball. He spent many years coaching and managing Augusta North Little League teams, helping young players develop not only their skills on the field but also confidence, teamwork, and sportsmanship. He also served as an umpire, always willing to give his time to the game and the children who played it. In the 1980s, Tedd was actively involved in the construction of the Augusta Slow Pitch Softball field at Condon Field. He played in the softball league for Rodrigue Builders and Moriarty Construction for many years with good friends. An avid hunter and outdoorsman, Tedd looked forward each year to spending a week of hunting season in Eustis with his hunting buddies, a tradition cherished for more than 30 years. He also enjoyed hunting alongside his son, Christopher. Tedd and his wife Susan shared a love of travel. Together they explored many tropical islands and enjoyed spending winters in Florida. Above all, Tedd enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He truly enjoyed life to the fullest, creating memories that will be cherished by all who knew him. Some of which included time spent fishing, boating, snowmobiling, skiing, and gathering with family and friends around their swimming pool. He was predeceased by his parents; his in-laws, Bob and Priscilla Redman; his sister-in-law, Maureen Redman Rodrigue; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Tedd is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Susan Redman Giroux of Augusta; his son, Christopher Giroux and wife Nicole of Sidney; his granddaughter, Natalie Maureen Giroux of Sidney, who was the light of his life; his brother, Jim Giroux and family of Augusta; his brother-in-law, Paul Rodrigue and family of Florida; his brother-in-law, John Redman, M.D., wife Joan, and family of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. At Tedd’s request there will be no public service. A private burial will take place at Mount Hope Cemetery in Augusta at a later date. Tedd will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, quiet strength, and unwavering devotion to his family, friends and community. His legacy will live on in the many lives he touched. Our family would like to thank the staff at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for their outstanding care and kindness.
