George H. Brewer Jr.

St. Charles, Ill.

George Harrison Brewer was laid to rest and went to see the face of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the 7th day of February, 2023, at the age of 84 years.

George was born in Galesburg, Ill., on August 5, 1938 and is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Robin G. (Jones) Brewer; three daughters, Cheryl L. Brewer (Ernst Wisner), Lorri A. Brewer and Lisa K. Brewer; and sister, Pamela J. Varner. George is also survived by his three grandsons, Joshua and Alec Williams, sons of Cheryl L. Brewer and Jacob Schaefer, son of Lorri A. Brewer.

George was preceded in death by his parents, George H. Brewer Sr. and Vivian M. (Morris) Brewer.

George was an Air Force Veteran stationed at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas, where he worked on B-47 Bombers and jet engines. He also served overseas in Guam.

George and Robin were married on Feb. 20, 1961, in Dubuque, Iowa. Their story began with George strolling across the quad at University of Dubuque where he and Robin met. George was always an active man and could be found on the racquetball court and the golf course. He was well known in the banking community in the Fox Valley and surrounding areas. George’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to be involved in the organization of Naperville Ribfest and to the startup of the family yacht charter business, GHB Enterprises Yacht Charters. The yacht charter business allowed George and Robin to travel extensively, which was something they both truly enjoyed.

Funeral service and burial for George will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in George’s behalf to the Republican Party.
