Former Public Safety Diver
Rodney was a friend; and also my Patrol Sargeant and Dive Master during my time as an Androscoggin County Deputy Sheriff. He was truly one of the greatest! RIP Rodney!!
SABATTUS, MAINE – Rodney Gagnon passed away June 29, 2020, with his family by his side, after a valiant battle with cancer. Born to Doris and Roland Gagnon on May 8, 1961, Rodney graduated from Lisbon High School in 1979. On July 2, 1989 he married Suzanne (Merrill) Gagnon. .Rodney served the local community by choosing a career in law enforcement. He graduated the Maine Criminal Justice Academy in 1986 and went on to serve with the Lewiston and Sabattus Police Departments before moving on to The Androscoggin County Sherriff’s Department where he served as a patrol sergeant for many years and was also instrumental in creating and setting up Androscoggin County Sheriffs Department Dive Team.
