WILDOMAR - William Henry Brewer, 54, passed away suddenly on Aug. 18, 2008. He was born May 27, 1954. Bill lived in Napa with his wife and kids for 25 years, recently moving to Wildomar in January.

Bill is survived by his beautiful wife, Cindy Brewer; his son, William Brewer Jr.; his daughter, Kryssi Brewer; and although not born of blood, his son forever in his heart, David Rangel Jr.; his sister, Jeanne Brewer and his brother, Michael Brewer.

Bill lived for his family and loved nothing more than his wife and kids. His greatest joy were his grandchildren Gabriel Brewer, Carlos Rangel, Alyssa Rangel and Jeremy Adkinson. Nothing made him happier than spending time with his grandkids, taking them places and having them stay the night. Bill was a family man in the truest sense of the word. He thought he was the luckiest man in the world for being married to Cindy for 34 years; he always said she was God’s gift to him. He loved her with his entire being.

Bill was a mechanic by trade for 35 years and loved every aspect of working on and restoring old-school muscle cars. It came naturally to him and became a lifelong passion of his that he loved sharing with his son William Jr., his brother Ray Brewer, and his nephews Ray Brewer Jr., Michael Brewer and Kenny Brewer. They all had Chevelles and drove so proudly together, side by side, smiling at the beautiful rumble of the engine that they put together with their hands. Bill didn’t have a father figure growing up so he strived to be there for others. He had such an enormous, caring heart and took David under his wing from the moment they met. He taught David everything he knew about cars. They became friends, they became family, and they were and always will be father and son.

We will always remember all the camping trips, all the Saturday nights, all the warm summer weekends at the park and the smile on his face as he enjoyed every moment of his family being together. To know Bill was to love him, and we always will. Bill’s memory and the love he gave us will forever live in all of our hearts.

I love you Daddy. Love, Kritter.
