Brian Eric Cosgrove-Godin

WATERVILLE – Brian Eric Cosgrove-Godin, 38, passed away unexpectedly on March 4, 2022, at EMMC in Bangor after struggling with several health issues. He was born April 10, 1983, in Waterville, Maine the son of Deborah M. Cosgrove and Robert T. Godin, both of Waterville.

He attended Waterville public schools and he was always in the top percentile of his class. He loved all sports and was very active in intramural basketball and soccer. On the basketball court and on the soccer field, Brian had a sixth sense which often baffled his opponents.

Brian had a great sense of humor and he often invented some very funny paraphrases that he verbalized at some of the most unexpected moments.

He loved music so much that he taught himself how to play the guitar. His love of music included all genres but he was especially fond of hard rock and metal bands – “Rock On!” After high school, his love of music led him to Bull Moose Records in Waterville where he was eventually promoted to assistant store manager. He worked there for numerous years before leaving to help take care of his mother at home.

Brian’s message to his friends and family:

“Thank you for not giving up on me!”

Brian is survived by his father Robert T. Godin and wife, Elizabeth; aunt, Jeannine Lachance and husband, Paul; uncle, Dan Cosgrove; aunt, Celia Cosgrove; uncle, Stephen Hughes and several cousins including: Danielle, Chris and Scott Doyon; Bruce and Jimmy Cosgrove; Wendi Holden; Robin Pellerin; Randy and Robby Ouellette; Cheri, John, and Stevie Hughes, as well as his cousins’ related family members – especially Bryce who he was extremely fond of.

Brian was predeceased by his mother, Deborah M. Cosgrove; grandparents, James and Marie Cosgrove; grandparents, Reginald and June Godin; uncle, Bobby Cosgrove; aunt/uncle, Jolene and Roland Ouellette; and aunt, Gayle Hughes.
