Quite simply, I loved him. He was a gentle giant force force for peace and love. I first met him in 1993 and spilled good amount of time with him. He fought his illness bravely and with dignity. Just a class act!

1st met Ron at The 1968 2 “HELL WEEKS” ( used to be called ) because of the long 2-a-day practices of hitting and little water! We were “TEAMATES FOR Two years at HARBOR JR COLLEGE! We played against the Best Teams in the Nation!
Ron was a “HITTER”! This man could Tackle! The “INTERESTING TJING ABOUT “BREM” was that he always wore dark shades! ( SUNGLASSES!) I never saw them fall off even after his great hits!
He was a Silent leader with his words but a “LOUD VOICE”with his “hits”on the opponents!
In our 2nd year together we reached the “Top”for in 1969 we were Ranked as the #1 J.C.FOOTBALL TEAM IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND 3rd in the Nation!!! RON BREMBRY’s defensive play was one of the reasons for our success as the UNDEFEATED SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS!
OFF THE FIELD . His Swagger was cool and inviting! His manner was friendly and his voice was Stoic!
Years later I got to Text with Brem sharing stories of music, after I told him my Son was the lead guitar player for “Steel Pulse” I learned he was big time in the music business with Mr Funk George Clinton.. who my son knew about! We were supposed to meet up .. as I wanted my son David JR , who was just Nominated for a Grammy as co-producer on Steel Pulse’s nominated album.., but Brem left us too early!
I was happy I got in Touch with him to get him to our induction into the Harbor college Hall of Fame for that 1969 team success!
He will always be remembered as the coolest defensive dude who could hit wearing sunglasses Mr. shades what are the coolest guys I ever met at Harbor college!I have film I have introducing him at the Hall of Fame which was pretty cool rest in peace my man see you soon I hope Go Seahawks!

Condolences to Shakira and your family.
Brem was my SAN JOSE BIG BROTHER - a protector and confidant. His quiet demeanor and commanding compassion is one of my many memories. I can still see him with his dark glasses, hat cocked to the side and his guitar. He introduced me to Jimmy Hendrix! I will miss checking in on him. Thanks for the Love! Rest In Peace my Brother Brem.

I am Sheila Webber cousin to Al Welch. I met Brem when we were teenagers together back in 1969-70.
I remember him always jovial and kidding around.
I saw him on my last visit to Los Angeles in November 2018.
After which we got together on line Saturday nights critiquing movies on TCM with Al and another Chicago friend.
Brem would send messages of encouragement to me and I to him.
I was impressed by all of the beautiful comments from Others about what a kind loyal gentleman he was.
My sentiments as well.
I know the Lord has welcomed Brem into the kingdom saying “Well Done my faithful servant.”
All of the wonderful deeds he performed for his Mom, Natalie, friends and loved ones are recorded in God book of life.
Rest well my friend with Love ❤️.

Angels walk amongst us and we don’t know or see them. Yet, when they are gone ( called back to Heaven) we realize who they were.
With love to the family. Always.
