“Heavenly sounds are
much sweeter now as Fred plays his fiddle before the angels. He never
stops playing and the dancers never tire.” On Wednesday, April
11, 2018, Freddie (Fred) Wallace Brewer of Keswick Ridge, NB,
completed his earthly journey at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional
Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. Fred was 77. Born at Stone
Ridge, NB, he was a son of the late Tilley and Ina (Lawrence)
Brewer.
Fred was a hard worker all
his life and was employed as a Lumber Grader with M. L. Wilkins and
Son Ltd., Fredericton, for almost 30 years. His carpentry skills were
appreciated by many of his family and friends. Fred was a talented
musician and enjoyed playing the Fiddle and Guitar at the many
concerts and benefits held throughout the surrounding communities. An
avid outdoors person, he loved to hunt and fish. Known for not
standing still to long, he found great enjoyment tinkering about
attempting to repair or improve
something. He was always willing to lend a helping
hand.
Fred was passionate when it
came to family and he loved them dearly. He will be greatly missed and
forever loved by his devoted wife of 40 years, Marilyn (Burris)
Brewer. Fred was so proud of his two sons, Rob (Lindsay) of Burtts
Corner and Mike (Ashley) of Douglas. His four grandchildren, Walker,
Avrie, Jordyn and Paisley brought so much joy to his heart and life.
They were his sunshine. Fred also leaves behind brothers Wendell
(June), Bernard (Darlene) and Earl (Joann) also sisters, Shirley
Hanson (late Ardine), Barb Brewer (Wilder), Alice Jones (Burtis),
Bertha Brewer (Dean) and Verna Morehouse (Clayton) as well as several
nieces and nephews. Aside from his parents, a sister Lorna (Eldon)
Brewer predeceased him.

held at Bishop’s Funeral Home, 540 Woodstock Road,
Fredericton from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Interment will be private. No
