Brendan J. Lash


FRIENDSHIP – Brendan J. Lash, 19, died unexpectedly Tuesday, May 1, 2018 from complications of asthma. Born September 12, 1998 in Dam-


ariscotta, Brendan was the son of Wesley and Wendy Moody Lash. He attended Friend- ship schools and graduated from Medomak Valley High School in 2016. During his time growing up in Friend-


ship, Brendan waited for each baseball season, whether it be little league or a good ole whiffl e ball game with all the neighbor- hood kids. He continued to play baseball all through school. Brendan enjoyed all sports, but his pas-


sion was football. He was fortunate to play from its very fi rst season until it became a varsity sport during his senior year. He was selected as a captain and was chosen to par- ticipate in the Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl. He considered Coach Ryan Snell and Jason Stewart his mentors and his teammates fam- ily.


Brendan spend many years on the water,


boat racing with his Pup and his father. This began his great love of boats and fi shing. He became a sternman at an early age with his captain Harley Wallace of Friendship, with whom he was presently working. Brendan was the most honest, caring


and giving man. He would give you the shirt off his back or his last dollar. He wanted to give even if he was gone, so when he re- ceived his license as a young man he made sure he was an organ donor in hopes he could help someone. Brendan was predeceased by his Pup,


Wesley A. Lash. He is survived by his par- ents, Wesley and Taryn Lash of Friendship and Wendy and Barry Widdecombe of


Rockport; his sister Lori Bryant and her husband Nathaniel of Waldoboro; nephew Chayse and soon to be nephew Carson Bryant of Waldoboro; step-siblings Devin Widdecomb of Cumberland Foreside and Elizabeth Widdecombe of North Carolina; grandparents Cindy Lash, Amoe and Lura Robinson all of Friendship, and Peter and Susan Moody of Waldoboro; aunts and un- cles Tonya and Scott Carter of Friendship, Rusty and Tanya Robinson of Waldoboro, Sean and Angie Lash of Friendship, David and Deborah Lash of Washington, Stepha- nie and Philip Conroy of Florida, and Peter Moody Jr. of Belfast, along with many great- aunts, great-uncles, and cousins. Brendan’s family would like to send a


special ‘Thank You’ to EMS and the staff at Pen Bay Medical Center for all your help and support during this diffi cult time. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be

cares, and nature itself seems besieged, Emory gives us ways to reconnect with the natural world . . .” -- Roxana Robinson,
