Jack James Brazier, 61, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Cedar Rapids, IA on May 7, 2025. A Celebration of Life will be held for close friends and family on June 14, 2025 at his mother's home.
Jack was born on May 5, 1964 in Cedar Rapids, IA, the son of Jack S. and Arlene (Frana) Brazier.
Jack was a talented machinist and musician with a free spirit and sharp sense of humor. He loved his Harley Davidson motorcycle, music, and playing his many guitars.
He is survived by his mother Arlene Brazier, sisters Angela Brazier and Renee (Brazier) Costigan, along with several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father, Jack S. Brazier.
Jack, with his seemingly endless supply of jokes, brought laughter wherever he went and will most certainly be missed.
