352

Obit Jamie CantwellShrewsbury – Jamie B. Cantwell, a resident of Shrewsbury for 22 of his young 24 years, died Saturday, Aug. 1, 2015 at his residence in Portland, Maine.

Born Jan. 14, 1991 to Kevin and Barbara (Harrington) Cantwell, Jamie was the youngest of four children. In his short time here on earth, he enjoyed many sports. A graduate of Shrewsbury High School, class of 2009, he was very athletic, playing basketball, lacrosse and football but his real joy was when he was on the slopes skiing.

Jamie enjoyed the challenges of skiing and loved the adventure and peace it brought him. Traveling to Colorado and Switzerland with family and friends were trips of a lifetime. When not on the slopes, he could be found in the weight room working out and keeping fit.

Jamie would do anything for his friends and when asked in return, his typical response was “All set – I’m good!” He helped many others making an impact on their lives. He was incredibly passionate and loyal. His affectionate smile could light up a room and his great sense of humor produced his unforgettable laugh. He had an amazing mind for numbers and was working for Auto-Europe in Marketing in Portland, Maine where he had been living. Being in Maine allowed him to be close to another one of his favorite places, Sunday River.

He is survived by his parents, Kevin Cantwell of Northborough and Barbara (Harrington) Cantwell and her partner Michael Gentile of Worcester; siblings Christina Esposito of Northborough, Joshua Firestone and his wife Melissa of Silverthorne, Col., and Victoria Lunneborg of Castle Rock, Col.; his grandfather, Gilbert Harrington of Worcester; uncles Michael Harrington of Dillon, Mont., Denny Cantwell of Traverse City, Mich., Tim Cantwell of Sheboygan, Wis., and Tom Cantwell of Waunakee, Wis., and aunts Patricia SanFilippo of Gibsonia, Penn. and Mary Walczak of Loda, Ill.; three nieces, Gianna Esposito, Ellie, and Kate Lunneborg; and many friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Paul and Maureen (Bolton) Cantwell and Joan K. Harrington.

Family and friends will honor and remember Jamie’s life by gathering for calling hours Thursday, Aug. 6, from 4-8 p.m., at Heald & Chiampa Funeral Directors ~ The Sumner House, 5 Church Road, On the Common, Shrewsbury Center, and again Friday, Aug. 7, at 10 a.m., at the First Congregational Church, 19 Church Rd. Burial will be private.

In the words of one of his favorite songs by Wiz Khalifa, “It’s been a long day without you my friend and I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again . . .”
