Julian Ray Brewer, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on October 15, 2024, at Frankfort Regional Medical Center in Frankfort, Franklin County, Kentucky. He was born to Julian G. Brewer and Leola Dale Brown Brewer on February 25, 1939, in Defoe, Shelby County, Kentucky. He was a member of Elmburg Baptist Church.
Ray was a 1957 graduate of Pleasureville High School, where he was a proud member of the Pleasureville Bulldog basketball team. Following his education, he devoted 37 years of his life to the Kentucky Department of Transportation, Division of Materials, as a material inspector. His work was characterized by a tireless pursuit of quality and safety, earning him the respect and admiration of colleagues and friends alike.
In addition to his dedication to work, Ray was passionate about various hobbies that enriched his life. He enjoyed fishing, farming, and taking trips to Florida, where he found joy in the simplicity of nature and the warmth of the sun in the winter months.
Ray shared a profound bond with his beloved wife, Patsy Ethington Brewer. Together they nurtured a loving family that included their daughters Lori Jeannine Brewer of Louisville, KY and Judy Beth (Sam) Brough of Frankfort, KY, alongside six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, who will forever carry his legacy in their hearts. The love and values he instilled in his family will continue to resonate through generations.
Ray is preceded in death by his son, Mark K. Brewer, and his sister, Donna Garrett. Their memories remain etched in the lives of those who loved him, reminding them of the strength and unity of their family ties.
