Alan D Brewer, 88, of Cornersville, died Sunday, July 5, 2020, at Williamson Medical Center.

He was a native of Lockport, NY, born On May 24, 1932, the son of the late Earl D. Brewer and the late Mildred Few Brewer. He was an active member of the Cornersville First Baptist Church.

Al was called to the ministry in 1951 and attended Bob Jones University, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Southwestern Theological Seminary. He served in the ministry for several years after which he worked in the insurance business along with being a consultant for Lifeway.

Al developed several gardens at their home in Franklin, where they lived for twenty years. Upon their move to Cornersville, they developed four large terraced gardens which was the home for over 1,500 varieties of day lilies. To say Al loved flowers and working with them would be an understatement.

Al loved the Lord, his family, his church, and growing and working with day lilies in that order. He loved using his spiritual gifts of; encouragement, giving, and teaching. His prayer for you today would be: if you do not know the Lord Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, today is the perfect time to come to that realization.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara T. Larson Brewer in 2017.

He is survived by his two daughters, Kimberly Ann (Keith) Davis, Cornersville and Kristine Marie (Leroy) Bizzell, Franklin; four grandchildren, Meaghan Marie Bizzell, Ryan Keith (Hannah) Davis, Jr., Rachel Ann Davis, Ashley Blake (Ryan) Churchill; and one great-granddaughter, Addison Grace Davis.

A graveside service was conducted Tuesday, July 7, 2020, at 11 a.m. from Lone Oak Cemetery Lewisburg, TN 37091 and burial followed in Lone Oak Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Marshall County Cancer Society, c/o Sandy Henson, 1883 Verona Caney Road, Lewisburg, TN 37091.
