Jody Lane Brewer
May 16, 1965 – Dec. 24, 2023

Jody took his last breath at 8:40 p.m. on Xmas Eve to begin his journey as one of our precious angels.

Jody grew up in Humboldt County and lived in Manila as a child and what a child he was — full of mischief and energy, never a dull moment when he was around.

Jody was a dreamer, always talking about traveling and buying property to build a home for him and his girl and two dogs. He also loved the beach, where he always collected rocks and shells — that was his thing — and playing with his dog, Guppy, who loved the beach as well, and then he had the other small 4 lb. teacup named Paris — he would put her in his sleeve or coat and take her every where with him. He said it made for a conversation piece and every day and evening he would tell the two girl dogs that they were good girls and kiss them on their heads. He really spoiled them.

Jody had this kind of magical and magnetic aura about him that would attract people to him of all ages, color or sizes. Someone was almost always helping or giving him things and he was forever finding the darndest things, like all the time.

Jody took to the streets year ago and choose to make it and the people he befriended in it his family. He loved all the people and they loved him, other than the ones that will be named below they were his people and that’s where he felt safe and comfortable. He wanted me to be sure and let the people of the streets know that .

Jody had his other side to him and wore a dress and makeup from time to time, but that’s what made him who he was, then one day he. met a girl with long dark hair and fell in love and he decided she was his life partner and best friend up until he took his last breath on that unfortunate night with her by his side.

Jody is survived by his girlfriend and best friend, Robinn McNertney Baird and her family and many children and grandchildren. He has two sisters whom he cherished dearly, Robin Lovejoy and her children and her partner Kenny Mendoza and Ethel Still and her children and her partner Jason. Jody also has a very close and dear friend who was always there for him no matter what and he expressed his gratitude towards her — he said “Merna Reyes rocks.”

A Celebration of Jody’s life will be held at the Amphitheater by the Adorni Center at 2 p.m. on January 30, 2024, bring an umbrella in case it sprinkles, there will be a balloon release at the end of the celebration and markers to send him a message as well as a large bucket with all the rocks from Jody’s truck that he picked himself so please feel free to take one or two.

REST IN PEACE MR. JODY BREWER AND DANCE WITH THE ANGELS FOR YOU ARE ONE OF THEM NOW!!!!4
