Obituary for Richard Brewer

The passing of Richard Anthony Brewer of Zealand, NB, husband of Dolores (Estey) Brewer, occurred on Saturday, June 13, 2020 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital. Born on February 21, 1953 in Zealand, NB, he was the son of the late Hazen and Glenna (Estey) Brewer.

In addition to his wife, Richard is survived by his children, Trent Brewer (Lisa) and Kelly Shaw (Mike); his grandchildren, Kyle, Davin and Kendra, who were the center of his world; sisters, Marilyn McCarty (Bob) and Myrna Wilson, and a brother, Monty Brewer (Wanda); numerous nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, Richard was predeceased by his sisters, Joyce, Evelyn, Wanda and Thelma; brothers, Keith, Steadman, Carl, Randy, Paul and Layne; infant siblings, Carolyn, Murray, Norma Jean and Gerald and special friends John Best and Mike Morehouse.

Richard's life focused around his three grandchildren lovingly known as Buddy, Monkey and Princess.

Richard will be remembered for his generosity and his storytelling. He was an avid hunter, a collector of antique vehicles, a lover of country music, and was happiest tinkering in his garage. He was the proud owner and operator of T.K. Enterprises and lived up to his reputation as the "best equipment operator around".

Visitation will take place at Stone Ridge Pentecostal Church, 129 Upper Stone Ridge Road, Zealand, NB on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 pm. Due to the current health situation, a Private Family Service will take place from the church on Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 2 pm with Archdeacon John Sharpe and Pastor Fred Wickett officiating. For anyone who wishes to attend, additional arrangements are being made to participate in the service from their vehicles in the church parking lot.

Pallbearers for the service will be Matthew Burtt, Kevin Morehouse, Kenny Dillon, Scott Murray, Jamie Jones and Alvin Brewer.

A private family interment will take place in St. Paul's Anglican Cemetery.

For those who wish, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or to St. Paul's Anglican Church. Personal condolences may be offered through www.yorkfh.com

The family wishes to express special thanks to the Staff of the Zealand Grab N Go who befriended and assisted Richard over the past couple of years, and also a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful nurses and staff of 4SE.
