Brewster Loud Obituary

Loud, Brewster Montgomery
Brewster Montgomery Loud died at his home in Thousand Oaks, California on March 26, 2004. "Bump", as his family and many friends knew him, was born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan on April 23, 1939. He graduated from Culver Military Academy as Regimental Commander in 1957 and Princeton University in 1961 where he was a member of the Cottage Club and lettered in varsity football. "Bump's" career included positions in marketing and advertising for such companies as International Paper and Young and Rubicam. He became entrepreneurial in several endeavors during his later career. He was an active Western horse rider, an avid tennis player and a member of the Church of the Epiphany in Oak Park, California. He was committed to his family and friends and honored during his last days by several members of his Culver graduating class flying to California for a final visit. Bump had suffered from lung cancer for a year and a half. His wife, Judie Carroll, his children, Shawn Loud of Atlanta, Georgia, and Samantha Loud Migon of Miami, Florida, his mother Mrs. Charles Pfeifer of Delray Beach, Florida and his brother, Theodore Loud of Brentwood, California, survive "Bump". Other survivors include his four grandchildren, Sage, Skylar, and Shelby Migon, Ashley Loud, and his stepchildren, Meghan and Curtis Pickrell. A memorial service will be held at the Church of the Epiphany in Oak Park, California on Thursday, April 1, 2004 at 2:00p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting contributions to Culver Military Academy Memorial Fund or the Church of the Epiphany.

Although I only got to know Bump quite recently, the small amount of time did not reflect the enormity to which he touched my life. He had much care and concern for his new "Wyeth family." He always asked about our well-being- for me, especially when my dad passed away. As Judie and Bump just purchased a beautiful new home, I had the pleasure of helping them in planting selections for their landscaping. Bump and I had a number of discussions on plant stock, species, genera, etc., and also on general design schemes for the garden. I will always have those special memories of Bump as he fervently requested his favorite rose color - blue/mauve!

We will miss him!

I hold a special place in my heart for Judie and was thrilled that she had found someone as wonderful as Bump to share life with. My husband and I were privileged to have been part of so many celebrations of their happiness together and share in the family's loss. He will not be in pain anymore, and for that we thank God. What a lovely, gentle man--may God hold him safely in the palm of His hand. With love and our deepest sympathy, Leah and Ron Kari

I just wanted to send my prayers and condolences to the family. I did not get the opportunity to meet "Bump", but have known his wife Judie for many years and know that he must have been an incredible person. May God continue to give you strength and peace. Remember the good times....

Although having known Bump for a relatively short time, through his beautiful marriage to Judie, it was a privelege to meet someone of his fine character, and to witness how much he was loved and respected by family and friends.

Maryjane and I will miss "Bump" greatly. We enjoyed his visits to Chicago and the opportunities we had to plan and attend reunions. Bump illuminated a room whenever he entered. Life will now be a little darker and sadder without him.



Culver was a significant aspect of Bump's life and his final days. I believe one reason I and many others have so much respect for Culver is because of our meomries of Bump's leadership during our student days.



May God bless us all.

Bump was an inspiration to all of us who spent the years at Culver with him. He was both an outstanding leader and gentleman.
