Jake T. Brown
December 5, 1990 ~ September 13, 2025
Born in: Lewiston, ME
Resided in: Scarborough, ME
Scarborough – Jacob T. Brown, 34, passed away on September 13, 2025. Jake was born on December 5, 1990, in Lewiston, son of Tait and Judi (Boulet) Brown.
Jake attended Lewiston High School and graduated in 2014 from Saint Joseph’s College. In 2020, he earned his Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Southern Maine.
Jake devoted his life to athletics and academics. Most recently, he served his cherished Scarborough community as Assistant Principal at Scarborough High School. He had a gift for connecting with students, always keeping his office open as a place of support. From childhood, Jake was passionate about hockey and went on to receive numerous accolades, including all-state honors during high school.
In October 2022, Jake and Lauren married in one of their favorite places — a beautiful mountain property in Rangeley. Jake’s passion for life was strengthened by Lauren’s love and devotion, and together they dreamed of building a family surrounded by their many treasured friends, relatives, and neighbors.
Beyond his work and his love for hockey, Jake was an avid skier and golfer. He spent countless hours perfecting his game at The Purpoodock Club in Cape Elizabeth, where he formed lifelong friendships. Each year, he and his friends looked forward to their cherished golf trip to Ireland.
Jake will forever be remembered for his kindness, passion, and dedication to his students — both on and off the ice. The Brown family extends their deepest gratitude to all who have offered support, love, and compassion during this difficult time.

He is survived by his wife, Lauren (Bickmore) Brown; mother, Judi (Boulet) Brown; his sister, Mikaela, and her husband, Faisal Binsalma; his sister-in-law, Meghan, and her husband, Ben Henchel; Abby Snow; his mother-in-law, Carol Dadiotes; his nieces and nephews, Kingston, Crue, Mia, and Quincy; his grandparents, Richard and Tina Boulet; and many beloved extended family members and friends.

Jake was a beloved member of our school and a natural with the kids. At my last ever meeting before retiring in June, Jake spoke kindly to parents about how fortunate their child was to have had me in their corner. He knew I was a reluctant retiree and he made me feel cared for and supported. He was a true gem and a big part of this community. While many years separated us, we still shared a common bond in regard to our life’s work. I am so sorry that he has been lost to us and grateful for the time our students had him on their side.
I had the real privilege of knowing and working alongside Jake, and in that time, I came to know him as someone truly special — kind, steady, thoughtful, and full of integrity. He had a natural way of connecting with people, especially students, and he showed up every day with heart and purpose.
Though his life was far too short, Jake made a lasting difference — in his work, in his friendships, and in the lives of so many. For me, he was more than a colleague and a friend — he became part of my family. I feel incredibly fortunate to have shared time and memories with him.
My heart is with Lauren, Judi, and all of Jake’s family and loved ones. He’ll be deeply missed and forever remembered.
With sympathy
Judy and family, Tony, I and Vincent are sending our thoughts and prayers. So many memories of those early school years in Sabattus. From baseball, Cub Scouts and play dates. So much mischief and fun. My heart is broken for all of you. Hugs those grandbabies extra tight. I know how proud Tait was of him and I can still hear our conversations about Jake. Please know everyone is here for you.
Love the Gowell’s
We skied for years with Lauren at Saddleback So, so sorry, Lauren . I think of the thousands of really old people with nothing to live for while a young man with everything to live for is taken. At 83 years old, I would gladly give my life if it would bring him back to you.
Love and sympathy,
Karley
Jake was bright, kind, and generous with both his time and his knowledge. Jake spoke about his commitment to education during one of the first conversations we ever had. This quickly became obvious with how he treated students and staff, and by his involvement in our community. It was also obvious how much he enjoyed hockey and golf. However, it was when talking about Lauren that his face would really light up.
My deepest sympathy to his family. I will miss him.
It was my pleasure working with Jake. He was the kindest man that everyone adored him.
He will be deeply missed.
Mary and were so saddened to hear this news about Jake. We send our sincere condolences.
Our deepest sympathies to the family. Great young man, great family…
Jacob was a wonderful man! Sending deepest condolences, to Lauren and his family. He will dearly missed.
We were lucky enough to know Jake as a teacher and an assistant principal. One of our kids, Jack, had Jake as a 7th grade teacher and then as an assistant principal. You could tell Jake loved the students and always went above and beyond to connect with them. We sat with Jack today and he shared many stories about Jake that made us so grateful he was a part of Jack’s middle school and high school life. Not everyone finds their true calling, but Jake absolutely did. Thank you for sharing him with us.
On behalf of the extended Oberlander Family (Mike, Nicole, Dustin and Kirby), our deepest condolences to Lauren, Judi and extended Brown family. Jake was a wonderful young man. We have many fond memories of Jake, be it visiting with the other boys / friend group at the house or playing youth ice hockey and baseball together. I very much enjoyed the privilege once of serving as a head coach with him behind the plate for our team – a “coach’s player”, enthusiasm, leadership and a smile. Never a doubt he would be successful in his calling and endeavors – spot on, made for it. Forever remembered.
One of my favorite stories about Mr. Brown involved a bet, a seventh-grade classroom, and oddly enough, a bag of potatoes.
I had the pleasure of having Mr. Brown as a seventh-grade social studies teacher back in 2018. For some reason or another, he made a bet with my class. I don’t remember exactly what it was about (knowing Mr. Brown, it probably had something to do with hockey). He made the bet in passing and said that he was betting a sack of potatoes. Obviously, the entire thing was done in jest, and he was not seriously expecting someone to bring in a sack of potatoes. In my foolishness, however, I took him on. Given that the bet was about hockey, and that Mr. Brown was an avid fan of the sport, I of course lost. As he taught us though, a person is only as good as their word. So, returning to my social studies class the next day, I laid on his desk a sack of old potatoes. He laughed and asked me why on earth I had brought him a useless bag of potatoes with a bunch of buds growing out of them. I reminded him that I had lost the bet, and he laughed again. That bag remained in that classroom for the better part of two weeks!
I’ll never forget the kindness and joy that he brought everywhere he went. He made a lot of people feel at ease around him and had a great sense of humor.
Thank you, Mr. Brown.
