Over the last two years, Brew traveled a heroic journey with lymphoma. His strength and positivity was awe inspiring.
Brew was born in Rockport and grew up in Union. He was very involved in athletics, Boy Scouts, 4-H, and enjoyed any activity outdoors.
In middle and high school, he played the trumpet in the school band. He took that talent into a band called Jiving Miss Daisy. They performed at the Lobster Festival opening for the Rustic Overtones, competed at the State Theatre in Portland, and many other locations.
As an adult, he became a skilled carpenter, where he earned the name “One-Cut Tim.” Working with wood was an art to him. Along with building the perfect set of stairs or kitchens of custom cabinets with a live edge countertop, he loved to build furniture for family and friends.
Brew found a lot of joy in grilling and smoking meats. He could whip up a delicious feast, including his own smoked potato salad. (Does anyone have the recipe?!)
Brew was predeceased by his grandparents, James and Anita Curtis, Richard and Sally Brewster; and beloved stepfather, Alexander “Sandy” Smith.
He is survived by mother, Deborah Smith, of Union; and father, Ricky Brewster and wife, Teresa, of Rockland; sisters, Cheryl Brewster, of Windham, Nicole Hatch and husband, Craig, of Rockland, Jessica Nelson and husband, Jeff, of Union, Erin Payson and husband, Matt, of Union, Christienne Jones and husband, Ricky, of Thomaston; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many dear friends.
Please join us at one of Brew’s favorite spots to hang with his friends, The Bog, 2919 Atlantic Highway, in Waldoboro, on Oct. 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Come and toast to a life well lived.
