Gary Dennis Brewer September 22, 1942 – July 25, 2026 MSgt Gary Dennis Brewer (USAF, Ret.), age 83, of San Antonio, Texas, passed away peacefully at his home on July 25, 2026, surrounded by the love of his wife and friends. Born on September 22, 1942, in Middletown, Ohio. Gary was the son of Vernon D. Brewer and Nellie Henze.
As a young man, he dedicated his life to duty, honor, and service by joining the United States Air Force in 1961, where he rose to the rank of Master Sergeant before retiring in 1981. Following his military career, Gary continued to serve his country proudly in the civil service for more than twenty years.
Gary was a man of deep and enduring faith, a devout Christian who found great fulfillment in attending church and spending time studying the Bible. Beyond his service and faith, he loved to explore the world, often traveling with his wife, Myong, especially on cruises to destinations near and far. Above all, Gary was a devoted family man.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Myong (Kim) Brewer; his two loving daughters from a previous marriage, Rebecca Brewer and Michelle Brewer Hettiaratchi; four granddaughters, Melina Hettiaratchi, Desiree Brewer Hyatt, Pavanee H. Hinton, and Evanthi Hettiaratchi; and ten great-grandchildren.
