Born in Los Angeles, California to Charles Robert (Bob) Brewer Sr. and Phyllis "Mardelle" Brewer.
Bob is survived by his mother Mardelle Brewer, his sister Patti Cheatham (and her husband Richard Cheatham) of Richmond, VA and his brother Craig Brewer of Portland. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Ricardo DelCastillo as well as his uncle Ronald K. Petersen (and his wife Kathy Petersen). He is also survived by his adopted son, Travis Eller (and his wife Amber) of Vancouver, WA and his adopted daughter Christina Flowers (and her husband Travis) of Milwaukie, his niece Chrissy Tichenor Smith (and her husband Rick Smith) of Milwaukie, his nephew Jeremy Tichenor (and his wife Gabriella) of Milwaukie and his niece Ree DelCastillo (and partner Ty) of Ridgefield, WA. He is also survived by his grandniece Taylor, grandnephews Cameron Thompson, Michael Smith and Alfred (AJ) Dorsey, grandniece Emily Smith, grandnephew Ethan Tichenor and numerous cousins. Bob is also survived by his dear friend Louise Flowers of LaGrande, Oregon.
Bob was preceded in death by his beloved wife Rose and by his father Rev. Charles R. (Bob) Brewer Sr., his sister Barbara L. DelCastillo and his adopted son Jason Flowers.
Bob lived life fully and with passion. Home building was his life’s work which he learned from his uncle Ron. He was a master of that trade and built or assisted in building numerous fine homes including several of the Street of Dreams homes. His two passions, other than his family, were boating and motorcycling. He always owned and enjoyed a boat or two and a bike or two and they gave him enormous happiness and joy. Bob loved music and took great pride in being the sound man for a 1980s Portland based rock band called Magnum which later became Eliminator. He particularly loved the Blues often playing the harmonica himself, He was always the life of every party. The list of friends he leaves behind is long, all of whom miss his passion for life, his contagious sense of humor and his kindness to all who knew him. He will be remembered and missed by so many.
