Homer was a man of wonderful character who truly never met a stranger. He genuinely loved getting to know people, swapping stories, and making everyone feel welcome.

Homer was a hard worker who spent his years working for Lloyd McAtee, Buford Coal, Miles Lumber Company and his buddy, Mike Tacy. He loved driving truck but, his favorite place to be was right at home, living on Becky’s Creek and enjoying the peaceful life there.

He leaves behind his beloved son, Robert Brake; his sister, Mary Catherine (Sam) Jackson; family all over the country; and a community full of friends and neighbors who will deeply miss his warm smile and friendly chats.

In honor of Homer, strike up a conversation with someone new todayähe would have loved that.
