Rex A. Bremmer

Rex Arthur Bremmer age 92 passed from death into eternal life with his Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, November 14, 2025 at home with his wife. Rex was born to Morris and Vera May (Porter) Bremmer on September 27, 1933 in Cedar Springs, Michigan

Rex was a 1951 graduate of Cedar Springs High School where he was a distinguished athlete. He was extremely intelligent, a deep thinker with an inquisitive mind. An avid reader, he had an insatiable thirst for knowledge.

He proudly served his country in the United States Army, 12th Engineer Battalion during the Korean War as a clerk typist, with all the qualifications to serve as an attorney in the military court martial proceedings.

Rex and his devoted wife Kathy shared many wonderful years together. Their marriage added Kathy’s son Brian and grandson Jeff to Rex’s big family. Rex and Kathy enjoyed working in the woods together at Rex’s cabin in Baldwin, fishing “their” little Loon Lake in the summer and ice fishing in the winter. He was an avid hunter and a crack shot with his 22 rifle. When he could no longer hunt, Brian (Amy) Peterson made sure he “got” a deer.

A born leader, respected and trusted by those he worked with and for, Rex was employed by Keeler Brass Company for 31 years then for CBS and Saturn Tire before retiring.

Rex grew up in an idyllic family who hunted, camped and fished together. Out of that beginning came a love for all things out-of-doors. One of his greatest joys was the annual fishing trip to Canada for walleye. In the winter snowmobiling was the attraction.

Rex is survived by his beloved wife, Kathryn (Marvin) Bremmer; daughter, Tracy (Kim) Nagelhout; sons, Ross (Evie) Bremmer, Brian O. (RayLene) Anderson; grandchildren, Jacqueline, Amber, Janice, Jennifer, Dan, Pamela, Joe, and Jeffery; sixteen great-grandchildren; many beloved nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Jack Morris, Arwin (Ed) Edward, Arden (Ardie) Ross; and sister, Joyce A. Empie. Rex was also preceded in death by his children, Pamela, Rex Jr., Theresa (Terri) and their mother, Jacqueline (Gustinis) Bremmer.

The family will greet friends 10:00 a.m., Thursday, November 20 at K.E. Pike Funeral Home in Cedar Springs until the time of service at 11:00 a.m. Robyn Coward will be presiding. Interment, Reynolds Township Cemetery.
