SEAN BREWER Obituary

BREWER--Sean Robert, died November 13, 2020 in his home in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Born on December 13, 1966 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Sean spent his youth in Pompton Lakes while his father was in the Air Force. Sean graduated from Rutgers College in 1990 and its Law School in 1995. His perseverance and athletic ability gained him a spot on the Rutgers Varsity Lightweight team and he subsequently became a five-time marathon runner. Sean also possessed a deep love of travel and the natural world - backpacking through Europe in college, spending two summers working in Alaska, and climbing Machu Picchu. Professionally, Sean was a prosecutor with the Manhattan District Attorney's office for eight years. He went on to pursue a career in financial crimes compliance where he served as a managing director at Goldman Sachs, and then, more recently, MUFG Union Bank. Sean and his wife Claudia Krugovoy wed in September 2007. After their first child Henry was born, the family moved to Switzerland, where their second child, Aubrey was born. A loving husband and doting father, Sean enjoyed nothing more than spending time with his family, coaching his son's baseball and basketball teams, and delighted in watching his daughter's dance performances. He is survived by Claudia, son Henry (age 11), and daughter Aubrey (age eight); mother Corinne Brewer, and siblings George Brewer (Bridget), Andrew Brewer (Patricia), Christine Burt (William), Corinne Friske (Jason), Ana DeLosSantos, and nieces and nephews Emily and Aidan Brewer, Aaron, Hayden and Ethan Burt and Madeleine and Darwin Friske; mother- in-law Christel Krugovoy, brother-in-law Andrew Silver, and nephew Noah Silver. He is also survived by a lifelong group of adoring friends.

I had the pleasure of knowing Sean since he was a freshman at Rutgers. One of his two roommates was my best friend from HS. In addition, I went to Rutgers Law with him years later and had contact during his years working in NY thereafter through his great friend Andre Meade. He was simultaneously amazingly focused and serious and yet was able to drop a funny line and light you up with his smile and chuckle seconds later. A great competitor, prolific perspirer (during athletics) with a subtle confidence that I am sure lulled many to underestimate him. If he offered a friendly challenge in the gym, squash court or hoops, I learned the hard way it was better to demur as it got serious quickly. I remember a cafeteria lunch in 1994 like it was yesterday. I proudly joined him with my best efforts to eat a healthy meal on a salad plate (knowing how much thought he put into what he ate) and he looked at it and said, “nice try, but what’s the point with all that ranch dressing, you may as well go back and get the fries (after a mutual laugh, he gave me great diet advice and oddly, I think of him whenever I debate how much dressing I am putting on my salad).

He offered to help me many times over the years in any way he could and everyone that knew him knows very well how giving and special he was, and, of course, how much he will be missed.

I worked with Sean for many years at Goldman Sachs. Tremendous professional and a wonderful man. He will be missed by all of us who had the pleasure of working with him.
