Richmond — Brian Pearson, 57, passed away Thursday, July 16, 2015, at a Brunswick Hospital. The son of Sewall and Ramona Pearson of Bath, he was born on January 19, 1958. He graduated from Morse High in 1977.

Known as Birdie to his CB friends, and as Big Guy to many, he grew up with his six brothers, Jim, Mike, Slugger, Tim, Mark and John.

In his childhood, Brian loved spending time with cousins in North Bath. As a teen, he enjoyed Boy Scouts, and good times with his friends in the Alna Church youth group. As an adult, Brian served as a Big Brother. He worked at the BIW, the Bath Senior Citizens, as a CNA, and at various other places such as Wal-Mart, and Reny’s. He played on a Bath softball league and loved going camping with friends. He never married, but had an adopted son, Jef f Wing, whom he took in when Jef f was a teenager.

In the last couple of years, as illness limited his mobility, Brian developed quite a list of phone pals that he called regularly. We miss his calls already, and we miss him even more. Calls will be made to notify friends and family with the date and time for the graveside ceremony.

Arrangements are under the care of Kincer Funeral Home 130 Pleasant St. Richmond, ME 04357.
