Jurgen had a deep passion for good food and cooking incredible meals for the people he loved. He has always had excellent taste in wine, sports cars, and good books. He shared his love of reading with many of his friends and family members, and used this shared love as a way to stay connected with those closest to him.
He is survived by his daughter Marieke Brouwer (Brian), his brothers Bert Brouwer (Julie), and Peter Brouwer (Pam), and his former wife Denise Russell.
Jurgen’s family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all the nurses and doctors who made his last days as comfortable as possible. There will be a small service for anyone who would like to say goodbye to be announced at a later date.

Dear Peter and other family. I want to send you my sincere condolences. I was shocked to read that Jurgen passed away. I have very good memories of my time growing up with Jurgen in Holland. We did Some years in school together, and one day we promised each other to double class. I looked forward to see Jurgen after the hollidays, but than I found out I had to do it in my own, because the family brouwer moved to new Glasgow. I saw Jurgen only a few times more back in Holland, but I was always wondering, how he was doing. I regret that we didnt plan a reunion sooner. I wish all family and friends of Jurgen the strength to give this loss a place in your hearts.
