SCARBOROUGH – Theodore G. “Ted” Kurowski Jr., of Scarborough, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday June 9, 2024 at the age of 63.

Ted was born on Nov. 7, 1960 in Royal Oak, Mich. to the late Theodore and Virginia (Kokoszka) Kurowski and was raised in West Bloomfield, Mich.

Ted was a graduate of Brother Rice High School and Michigan State University. He moved to Boston, Mass. and studied at Boston University. Ted spent many years working for biotechnology companies as a Health and Safety Manager throughout the greater Boston area. Ted moved to Wilmington, Mass. in the early 1990s and lived there with his family for nearly 30 years. During this time you could find Ted volunteering in the community and he was never happier than when he was coaching his daughter Katie’s soccer, softball and basketball teams or being dragged around the world to follow her high school orchestra and educational pursuits.

In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with his family, reading mysteries and thrillers, trying out all the restaurants wherever he was and watching a good show. Nothing made Ted happier than a good book, good beer, a good meal, and a good conversation with friends and family around the dining room table. Ted was a loyal fan of all Detroit sports, and grew to love Boston teams as long as they were not playing Detroit.

Ted was preceded in death by his parents Theodore and Virginia Kurowski; and his brother, Thomas Kurowski.

Ted is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Ann (Maurice) Kurowski of Scarborough. He was the beloved father of Katie Kurowski of Baltimore, Md. Ted was the devoted younger brother of David Kurowski (Loretta) of Denver, Colo. He was also the loving son-in-law to Gertrude Maurice, and Robert and Lucille Maurice. Ted was the caring brother-in-law to Jackie Maurice, Laurie Nielsen (Paul) and Loretta Bressette, as well as devoted uncle to Tristen Maurice, Madison Nielsen, Nicholas Nielsen, Dustin Bressette, Gabriel Bressette (Kim), Colton Bressette, Sapphyre Bressette and Clayton Maurice. He will be sadly missed by his extended family and friends. The man who adamantly claimed he hated cats (except his own) will be sorely missed by Zeke, Zoey and Sadie.

Ted will be forever remembered as a kind, patient, loving and generous man who always told us “Don’t sweat the small stuff… and it’s all small stuff.” His warm and grounding spirit touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Although our hearts are heavy, we celebrate his life and are comforted knowing he is resting peacefully and watching over us.

A funeral mass will be held on Monday, June 17 at 10 a.m. at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church, 150 Black Point Rd., Scarborough, ME 04074. Following the memorial service, family and friends are invited to celebrate Ted’s life at 22 Atlantic Drive, Scarborough, ME 04074.

A memorial service and burial will take place on July 2 at 11 a.m. at Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery, 25800 W. 10 Mile Rd., Southfield, MI 48033.
