Joseph J. Thiboutot Jr., 56, of Brunswick, passed away July 19, 2018, after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by his family and friends and his mother by his side.
Joe was born on April 3, 1962, in Hollywood, Florida, to Joseph Thiboutot and Andrea (Thiboutot) Murillo.
Growing up he attended Topsham schools. He had natural talent for drawing and a curious nature. Joe spent a good portion of his youth fulfilling his life with adventure and traveling with friends.
He was the proudest father to his three children. He enjoyed watching his son Joey in his bowling league, listening to his son Noah perform with his band and reconnecting with his daughter Tamara.
Later in life, he briefly worked as a truck driver, but his true passion was owning his own motorcycle shop and creating custom created motorcycles.
During his battle with cancer he loved taking late night rides, seeing the ocean, going on an epic trip to the New England Barrett Jackson Auction, eating home-cooked meals, and indulging in the most delicious milkshake that he couldn’t stop talking about.
He will be remembered for his determined spirit, his love for his family, late night dinners, commitment to his best friends, and his passion for fast classic cars, motorcycles, and trucks.
He will be forever missed and always remain in our hearts.
Joe is predeceased by his nephew Troy Simonds and will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Andrea Murillo; his father, Joseph Thiboutot; his three children Joseph Thiboutot III, Tamara Thiboutot, and Noah Watts-Thiboutot; his three sisters Jolene Thiboutot, Debbie Alexander, and Asia Alexander; his two brothers Reggie Thiboutot and Chad Murillo; his four nieces Lykara Hayes, Desaray Hayes, Katie Schmidt and Addison Murillo; and his six nephews Mitchell Jacobs, Garett Jacobs, Troy Simonds Jr, Parker Alexander, Landon Alexander, and Jamison Alexander.
A memorial cruise will start at Fort Andross at noon on Saturday and lead to a celebration of life, held at Whites Beach on Saturday, Sept 1st at 1 p.m. We welcome all friends.
