Joshua P. Breer

CABOT - Joshua Paul Breer, 32, of Cabot, died at Fletcher Allen Health Care surrounded by his family on July 19, 2014, as the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Josh was born in Berlin, Vermont, on Feb. 4, 1982, to Bonnie Breer, of Cabot. He graduated from Spaulding High School in 2005. He spent his adult life working throughout the Barre-Montpelier area in the auto industry.

Josh had a witty, quirky sense of humor that lit up family gatherings, especially during Super Bowl Sunday when he rooted for the Patriots (his mom rooted for the Giants). He loved all four-legged creatures and formed a deep bond with his little dog, Dori, a puggle. Josh enjoyed following current events; he devoured news from any source and could always tell you what was going on both internationally and locally. He loved Cadillacs and was so proud of his latest white Cadillac. Because of his devotion to his family, specifically the way he watched over his brothers, Josh's mom often called him Mother Hen. This commitment to those he loved, along with his bright smile and warm sense of humor, will keep his memory alive.

He was predeceased by his grandfather Richard P. Russell Jr., of Barre. He is survived by his mother, Bonnie Breer, of Cabot; his brothers, Jeremiah Breer and his wife, Grace, and their son, Abraham, of Cabot, and Jonah Breer, of Salisbury; his son, Xavier Martinez, of Montpelier; his grandmother Pauline Lahar, of Fort McCoy, Florida, originally of Barre.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, at Macedonia Baptist Church in Plainfield, Vermont.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Central Vermont Humane Society, P.O. Box 687, Montpelier, VT 05601 to celebrate Josh's compassion toward rescue animals.
