Machinist William D. Brewer, dedicated to others
William D. Brewer gave his all to every endeavor.
He was married
for 22 years to his teen-age sweetheart.
He spent 20 years as a machinist with Equitable Bag Co. in Florence.
And he put in 20 years as a member of the Kentucky Army National Guard in Ft. Knox.
"He was such a lovable man. I loved the spirit in him," said Mr. Brewer's wife, Rhondia Robinson Brewer.
"He was a very loving and caring man and did everything possible to see that his family was comfortable in every aspect of life."
Mr. Brewer, 41, of Florence, died at 9:38 a.m. Tuesday at St. Luke Hospital West in Florence.
He was a machinist with Equitable Bag Co., Florence, and veteran of the 207th Maintenance Detachment of the Kentucky Army National Guard, Ft. Knox.
Mrs. Brewer said her husband had been in good health and his heart attack surprised his family.
She said Mr. Brewer complained of pains in his chest and left arm before being rushed to the hospital.
Mr. Brewer volunteered for the National Guard last year when severe flooding damaged many cities and towns in Kentucky.
He spent 11 days on patrol helping residents in Frankfort, she said.
"He was always happy and free-spirited," Mrs. Brewer said.
"He was a natural prankster and a jokester."
