Jerry was born on October 9, 1952, in Dearborn, Michigan, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ova and Beulah (Bush) Brewer. Educated locally, Jerry attended Flint Southwestern High School and graduated with the Class of 1970. On February 27, 1975, Jerry proudly enlisted in the United States Army where he served his country during Vietnam as an Armor Reconnaissance Specialist. Specialist Brewer served in the 1st Battalion 36th Infantry Division until his honorable discharge on May 31, 1977. Upon his return to the States, Jerry began his career working at the United States Post Office for 24 years until his retirement. He was a host for a YouTube radio show called Saturday Afternoon Shootout. Jerry was very active in his children’s lives and enjoyed being a Boy Scout leader for over 10 years. Fishing was Jerry’s passion. He knew every fish and had a spreadsheet on where he caught them in Hopkins in Park Lake. Jerry was an avid gun collector and a firm believer in the 2nd amendment. Of all the hobbies Jerry enjoyed, he hated mowing the lawn and was deathly afraid of snakes and skunks. Jerry’s family always knew where he was going to be as he posted memes that they would understand, and they always knew how to find him. He was a wonderful man and loved his family more than anything. His sisters were his best friends, and he loved them most of all. They always made sure he was well taken care of.

Left to cherish Jerry’s memory are his children: Gregory Poe, Travis and wife, Pam Brewer, John Hays and girlfriend, Chrystal Erdmann, Steven and wife, MacKenzie Brewer, Alana Holbrook, Jeremy Brewer and fiance, Kaylin Doyel; grandchildren: Tyler, John, Sandy, Sabastian, Katherine, Hannah and husband, Jose, Riggs, Riley, Teagan, Tyler, Kaitlin, Theus, Loki, Azure, Anaka, Zander, Jakob Dean; many great-grandchildren; beloved sisters: Brenda and husband, Bill Bislaski, Joyce and husband, Frank Andary; several nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
