He was raised in Eldorado, Oklahoma, the son of Billy and Laverne Brewer. He grew up working on the family farm & business. After high school, he married Etta Kathleen (Kathy) and served his country as a Marine. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he earned several medals including the Purple Heart and the Presidential Unit Citation. Rick loved to strategize whether he was playing poker, Skip-bo, or other games. He also liked to “tinker” with things. He was always trying to fix something or make it work better…all it needed was just a little tweak. Coin collecting was another passion. He wanted your change even if it was only a few pennies. Mr. Brewer is survived by his three children, Colby Kincaid, William Garrick, and Tami Naoma; three grandchildren: Shayla, Tanner, and Briana; and two sisters, Paula and Debbie.
