Jeff Brown

As many may have heard we lost Jeff Brown on April 2nd from a short illness leaving his sons Liam (21) and Ryan (16) without a father. The family is devastated and is trying to navigate the way forward. Not only have the boys lost their father but the family lost their livelihood with the unfortunate closing of their family business, Lakeside Deli & Grill. Lakeside Deli was opened as a lifelong dream over 10 years ago by Jeff and Annie and was a great gathering place for the Meredith community.

Around the time Jeff became ill the deli experienced a devastating pipe burst and water damage necessitated a lengthy closure while the landlord was meant to fix the damage. The deli closed on February 4th and has been unable to open since. During this time Annie and the boys have been traveling back and forth to Boston where Jeff was hospitalized. Now we have found out that the lease cannot be renewed not allowing them to reopen and they will have to figure out a new means to support the family — all at the same time as losing Jeff.

Jeff loved Lakeside Deli and would be devastated to know that it isn’t reopening. He loved the Meredith community and always appreciated his customers. He was always helping the community out with food donations, emergencies, donations, etc.

I know the family would appreciate any support for the kids’ education, pay down business bills, etc.

RIP Chef Jeff!!
