Brian Brewer

Brian Shane Brewer (Shane), a life-long resident of New Roads, Louisiana, died unexpectedly on April 8th, 2016 at the age of 39. He was a loving son and friend - a special gift from God.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7

Shane is survived by his loving and devoted Mother and Step-Father, Kimberly and Will Porche,; Grandparents, George and Martha Thomas; Step-Sister, Mandy Reeves and husband David; Step- Brother, Kevin Porche; Aunts & Uncles, Rick and Cathy Leggette, Richie and Sheree' Lynch, Barbara and Gilbert Eaves, Brenda and Jimmy Robbillard, Peggy Chutz, Beverly Mougeout, Jeff and Darlene Porche, Paul Randy Porche; Nephew Bradley Amond and fiancee' Addie Melancon; Great Niece, Maddyn Amond; and numerous cousins.

He was preceded in death by his Great Grandparents; George and Thelma Thomas, William and Martha Patterson; Grandparents, Bing and Hazel Brewer; Grandmothers, Betty Hostter and Mary Agnes Bueche; Uncle, Bret Thomas; and cousin, Jordyn Lynch.

Shane was born on August 3rd, 1976 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and was the only son of his Mother- Kimberly. He suffered serious and life altering traumatic brain injury from an accident 16 years ago. He fought a tough battle and in the end was welcomed home and is cradled in his Lord's loving arms.

Shane attended and graduated from Catholic High Pointe Coupee and attended Southeastern Louisiana University.

He had a big heart and was very giving toward others. He had a passion and love for LSU Football, for finding and restoring old bottles and astronomy. Shane could get lost in the stars with his telescope.

Through his long struggle - he wanted simply one thing - to go back in time to resume his life - as it was before the accident. One of Shane's favorite sayings was "Don't judge the path I choose to take if you haven't walked the journey I had to make."

A message from Mom - "To my Shane, I will always LOVE YOU and never forget you. The hardest part isn't losing you, it will be learning to live without you".
