RAYMOND—Bruce Malcolm Brown, 62, died peacefully at home surrounded by his family on December 7, 2017. He was born November 23, 1955, a son of Maynard and Jennie (Rand) Brown. Bruce grew up in the greater Portland area, graduating from Deering High School in the class of 1974. After high school, Bruce enlisted in the United States Air Force where he proudly served his country for 5 years. Following his time in the Service he worked for Bath Iron Works, Applicator Sales & Service, then Atlantic Great Dane as a truck mechanic. Most of Bruce's working years were spent with Don Rich Heating (later known as Down East Energy) and had spent the last 5 years working for Dead River Company. Bruce was mechanically inclined, and could be described as a "Jack of all Trades" by anyone who knew him. He loved anything with an engine, especially if he wasn't working on it! Some of his favorite pastimes included Dirt Bike racing in his younger years, Snowmobiling, and spending the Summers riding his Harley. His love of racing brought him all over the country to watch NASCAR and short track racing. As an avid outdoorsman, Bruce enjoyed boating, fishing, hiking and huntin' "upta camp". He was a volunteer firefighter for the town of Windham for 22 years and was a member of both the Pine Tree Rod and Gun Club and the Windham Drifters Snowmobile Club. Bruce will be remembered as a selfless man with a heart of gold who would do anything to help a friend or total stranger. He is survived by his significant other, Mary Ann Harris of Raymond; sons, Brent Brown of Windham and Bryan Brown of Snowmass, CO, and countless friends. A memorial visitation will be held on Saturday, December 16, 2017 from 1pm to 4pm at the Windham Chapel of Dolby Blais & Segee, 434 River Rd., Windham, ME 04062. A celebration of life to follow in June 2018. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Bruce's name may be made to New England Cancer Specialists, 100 Campus Dr., Suite 108, Scarborough, ME 04074.
