Poway native, Bruce Alan Brewer, 53, died on Sunday, April 1, 2012, after succumbing to injuries sustained when he was hit by an automobile. Despite suffering a stroke in 2010, Bruce will be remembered, first and foremost, for the love and devotion he had for his three sons: Ryan, Bruce Jr., and Dillon. He could be characterized by one word – heart. Add to that, humor, generosity, and genuine concern for his family and countless friends. While he was a natural athlete and an avid fisherman, his greatest legacy will be the quality men his sons have become.
He is also survived by his mother, Isabelle; sister, Edith; brother, Tom; and a large extended family. He will most certainly be missed.
A Memorial service will be held Saturday, April 7, 2012, 10:30 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 15750 Bernardo Heights Pkwy.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting contributions to the fund established for his sons' education. Please contact Susie Brewer at (619) 302-2058 for details.
