The family will celebrate his life privately at a later time. Thoughts, memories, and condolences may be shared with them by using the "Guestbook" link located to the left.

Mark Glenn Brewer was born April 16, 1958 in Cedar Rapids, the son of Myron “Mike” and Audrey (Coonrod) Brewer. He graduated from Anamosa High School in the class of 1976. He served his country in the US Army from 1976 to 1979. He was united in marriage to Jill Hall on July 30, 1977 at Wayne Zion Lutheran Church, Monticello. Mark was employed as a semi driver for Hill and Williams Brothers in Marion and later worked at Wayne Hall Chrysler in Anamosa, A-Tech inn Cedar Rapids, and Dan Clark Trucking in Sutliff.

Mark grew up with his family in State Parks and he learned to love the outdoors. Boating on the Lake of the Ozarks was his favorite pastime. He was a man who was good with people. He was a person who would do anything for anybody and will be remembered for his last words to his friends: “See you on the flip side.”

He is remembered by his wife of 43 years, Jill, his sons Ben and his wife Nikki and their daughter Kaylee, and Corey and his wife D.J. and their sons Gunner and Kayden, a granddog Nora Bean, his parents Myron “Mike” and Audrey Brewer, sisters Mary Beth (Craig) Beadle and Melonie (Chad) Rumbaugh, his father-in-law Wayne Hall and brothers-in-law Harv (Mary) Hall and Beaver (Diana) Hall.

He was preceded in death by his mother-in-law Donna Hall.

His family would like to thank the doctors and staff of the UIHC Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center for the wonderful care Mark received.

To Dan and Tina at Dan Clark Trucking, you’re the best! He really wanted to get back in that truck again. To all his trucking friends that drove by the house, called and sent texts. Thank you! He loved you all!

Thank you as well to all our family and Jill’s work family for helping with everything!
