David Brawner Obituary
Mount Laurel - David Sanford Brawner, age 58, passed away while surrounded by loving family and friends on Sunday, May 19, 2019.
David was born in Washington D.C., raised in Bethesda, MD and has resided in both Rock Hall, MD and his family home in Mount Laurel. He was a radio controlled model sailing enthusiast and a member and past President of the American Model Yachting Association as well as an occasional European soccer hooligan. David loved to travel and also was known to "travel by his stomach"! But above all else, he cherished the time spent with family and friends and will be deeply missed by those he leaves behind.
David, is survived by his beloved spouse, Lisa Brawner (nee Bender); sons, Andrew and John; mother, Louise "Chita" Brawner; siblings, Jay (Susan), Jerry (Terri), Tom (Celeste), Anne (Dick) ; Many sailors, neighborhood kids and all the lives he has forever impacted for the better. His laugh and everlasting humor and his consistently poor song choices will continue in our hearts.
Please contact the family directly for information pertaining to David's celebratory gathering which will be held on Friday, May 24th. Final disposition will be private. Arrangements by Mount Laurel Home for Funerals. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name, can be made to American Heart Association or Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice of NJ.

Farewell Friend
Mark and Suzanne Einstein
June 13, 2019
We bid a sad farewell to friend, David Brawner, yesterday in a most beautiful and touching Celebration of Life at Haven Harbour South in Rock Hall, Md. David possessed a unique ability to ignite joy and positive energy among others. He treated everyone as if they were someone special, while downplaying his own importance. David's sudden and tragic passing is a not-so-subtle reminder that we are all on this earth a short time and there is no time to lose in striving to become the best we can be. Suzanne and I extend to David's family, our utmost sorrow and condolences for their loss. Fair winds and following seas, David.! Mark and Suzanne Einstein - Rock Hall, Md.
