Johnny Alan Brewer, 67, of Florence, passed away Aug. 22, at his residence. He was a retired farmer and a member of the Church of Christ. One of his greatest passions was watching his grandsons play baseball, he would travel all over the South East to watch them play. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his granddaughter. It didn’t matter if they were working in the garden, riding the Ranger or dancing, she was his “Little Princess”. He was also an avid Alabama Football fan and he absolutely loved pulling a good prank on his loved ones.

Wife of 49 years: Cathy Flippo Brewer
Daughters: Cassie Chamblin (Tony) & Anna Humphries (Tobey)
