Bruce S. Brown
Bruce S. Brown, 76, died unexpectedly at his home in New Haven, VT on Dec 27, 2025. He was born March 19, 1949 in Middlebury, VT to Clyde and Lyda (Jewett) Brown. He grew up in Weybridge, VT and attended elementary school there. He graduated from Middlebury Union High School with the class of 1968.
Bruce is survived by his brother Thomas and wife Cathy of Whiting, VT, his half sister Barbara Ringey of Middlebury, VT, and a half brother Alan Brown of Virginia Beach, VA, and many loved ones near and far.
Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Lyda (Jewett) Brown in 1998, and Clyde Brown in 2004, his brother in law Albert Ringey, and a nephew Jeff Ringey.
Bruce was employed by J.P. Carrara and Sons for 45 years.
Bruce was a proud member of the Green Mountain HOG group, and he loved riding his bikes. In Aug 2007 a moose stepped out in front of his bike and almost ended things. As it would turn out Bruce recovered, the moose died, and The Moose Foundation was born. Bruce considered Aug 6th to be his 2nd birthday because we all know how differently it could have turned out.
Bruce loved to talk. He would spend hours on the phone, but it wasn't only on the phone–if he saw you in the store he would talk all the way to check out. Country Music–another love. He had a radio tuned to 98.9 WOKO 24/7.
A celebration of life is being planned for Spring 2026–time and place still to be determined.
For those who wish, contributions in Bruce's memory may be made to The Moose Foundation, 183 Colchester Road, Essex Junction, VT 05452 or The Big Change Round UP that is done every Spring by WOKO. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Bruce, please visit our Tree Store.
