Edward Brimo

Edward "Ed" Francis Brimo, age 87, passed away Sunday, July 28, 2024.

Ed was born in New York, New York on June 25, 1937, to parents, Paul Henry Brimo and Mary Catherine Brimo (Zambetti). He proudly served in the US Navy from 1960 to 1963 on the USS Compton. After his years of service, Ed moved across the river and settled in the state of New Jersey where he started his accounting career in containerized shipping in Port Elizabeth.

In 1995, Ed relocated from Paramus, New Jersey to Matthews, North Carolina with Sea-Land Service Inc. and retired years later. He made a lasting impression on his community. Ed loved to bike, sail, swim and spend time outdoors, but most of all, he enjoyed his days surrounded by his friends and church family. Some of his other passions were travelling, building his custom made remote controlled planes and helping friends and the church with any projects they needed assistance with. As his friends and neighbors can attest, Ed never met a dog he did not like. His neighborhood is filled with dogs and all would be sure to visit with Ed on their daily walks. He was a multi talented person, that was always supportive, kind and fun to be around. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.

Visitation will be held Thursday, August 1, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at McEwen Mint Hill Chapel, 7428 Matthews-Mint Hill Rd, Charlotte, NC 28227. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, August 2, 2024 at 10:00 AM at St John Neumann Catholic Church, located at 8451 Idlewild Rd, Charlotte, NC 28227. Ed will be laid to rest on Monday, August 5, 2024 at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, 10 W Stevens Ave, Hawthorne, NY 10532.

Ed leaves behind a legacy of kindness and companionship. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Wounded Warrior Project at support.woundedwarriorproject.org
