Jack Thomas Brimer

Jack Thomas Brimer, born in Roswell, GA in 1914, settled in Decatur, GA and lastly in Stockbridge, GA, went home to live with his Creator, Tuesday, March 1 at 2:45 a.m. Jack was a World War II Veteran and served as an Engineer in the Army Reserves as a CW3. After working through North Africa, Italy, France and Okinawa, he came home from the war and worked full-time for United Family Life Insurance Company until he retired, then continued working for the state legal department. In both jobs he ran the printing department and supervised all the ordering and use of office supplies. Jack attended Ousley United Methodist Church (UMC) in Lithonia, GA as an adult and then Bethel UMC in later years. He got great pleasure from serving God through both of these churches and made lifelong friends there and through work. Jack loved to fish also, and fished many times with his brother-in-law Ham McAfee and friends. And he was famous for his fantastic tomatoes (which provided us with spaghetti sauce all year long) and beautiful garden! Jack’s best friend stayed with him in marriage for 61.5 years, Juanita (Neda) McAfee Brimer. She graciously cared for him during these last difficult years after many years of prime living. It is impossible to count the many lives Jack has touched during his quiet time on earth. Jack is preceded in death by his son, Tom Brimer. He is survived by his wife, Neda Brimer, son and daughter-in-law Scott and Josie [Calara] Brimer, daughter and son-in-law Kellie [Brimer] and Dave Frissell, grandchildren Richard (Rich) and wife Athena [Bahamonde] Brimer, Robert Brimer, Cathy [Brimer] and Khoa Bui and great grandchild Bentley Bui. He is also survived by brothers Morris and Pete Brimer, and sisters Eleanor Brimer and Joyce [Brimer] Corley. A public memorial service will be held Saturday, March 12, 1:00 pm at Bethel United Methodist Church, 245 Fairview Rd, Stockbridge, GA. Jack’s ashes will be interned later at Westview Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations be made to Bethel UMC to be used for ministry efforts.
