BRUNSWICK — Lewis Edward Palmer III, age 51, passed away Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at Maine Medical Center, Portland.

Lewis was born July 16, 1964 in Brunswick, a son of Lewis Jr and Betty Casavant Palmer. He graduated from Brunswick High School, Class of 1983. On September 9, 1995, he married Elizabeth Moore of Five Islands.

He had been employed by Coastal Marine, Brunswick, and spent eight years at Bath Iron Works.

He enjoyed going to Beechridge Speedway, barbequing, and playing card games. But being with family and his dog Teddy were his greatest joys. While he spent a good deal of time working in his yard landscaping, he always looked for an opportunity to lend a hand with neighbor’s chores, especially for the elderly.

He was predeceased by his father, Lewis Edward Palmer Jr.

He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Elizabeth Palmer of Brunswick; two sons, Kyle Andrew Palmer and Lewis Edward Palmer IV both of Brunswick; a daughter, Natasha Lynn Palmer and four grandchildren of Auburn; his mother Betty Palmer of Brunswick; a brother Dwayne A. Palmer (and Tammy Riendeau) of Topsham; a sister Susan Descoteaux and her husband John A.

Palmer Jr of Brunswick; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
