Nolan Brasher Obituary
After graduating from high school Nolan moved to Stillwater, OK, and attended Oklahoma State University where he was a valued member of its football team. He also served in the National Guard. It was in 1968 that he moved to Yuma to pursue a career in Real Estate and Construction that lasted 30 years. Nolan's off work interests were outdoor desert related activities including mountain climbing, sand dune racing, camping, fishing expeditions to El Golfo, and spending quality time with family and friends. His civic contributions were undertaken through work with the Elks, Moose, and Optimists.
Nolan is survived by his wife of 25 years, Patricia Koenigs Brasher; first-wife, Roxy Brasher; son, Gene (Carolina) Brasher of Yuma; daughter, Lynn (Robert) Slater; grandchildren, James and David of San Diego, CA; step-daughters, Kerrie, Susan, Tracy and Sandra
A Celebration of life will be held at 3864 W. 25th Lane on Tuesday, February 5, 2013, at 4:30 P.M. where all friends and acquaintances are welcome.

To my beloved husband, Nolan.
I have thanked you many times before but I thank you again, my love, for always taking care of me. What a loving and kind man you were.
I am so thankful that I was able to tell you that I wanted to spend all of eternity with you before you died.
I miss you. I love you.
May God wrap his arms around you and give you peace.
Until we meet again, my love, I treasure our memories.
Yours forever,Patty Brasher
