If you knew Mr. David then you knew the passion he had for instruments, especially those of the blue grass family. Just two weeks ago he attended a concert as well as many blue grass festivals throughout the year. Mr. Brewer was also known to travel to many places to watch civil war re-enactments and fulfill his love for American History. When he had time at home there was no other place, he wanted to be than in his garden or tending to his honeybees. Most know Mr. David from his work with our local Sheriff’s department. He worked with the deputies on the wood program that allowed citizens of Lewis County to have wood for heating during the colder months.

Mr. David will live on in the memories of his two daughters Machelle Brewer (Shylo Bristol) and Christy Gross (Brian); grandchildren Kyle Haywood, Kyla Stewart, Kayla Shreve (Marcus) and Crystal Jones (Ian).
