A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR WILLIAM JACKSON "BILL" 
BREWER, SOUTH CAROLINA AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE, AND TO 
DECLARE MAY 22, 2025, AS "BILL BREWER DAY" IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to commend William Jackson "Bill" 
Brewer, South Carolina American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, for his 
life of selfless service to the youth of the Palmetto State; and

Whereas, born in 
Clarendon County on August 19, 1942, he was the son of Harriett Rebecca Bagnal 
Brewer and Millard Garrell Brewer, and he grew up in the Bloomville community 
with four sisters. At the young age of fourteen, his lost his father, a 
tremendous loss for him, as well as for his family; and

Whereas, at Manning 
High School, Mr. Brewer played football, basketball, and baseball. His love for 
baseball grew as his Bagnal uncles shared their skills and knowledge of the 
game with him and, at the same time, helped fill the void of his late father; 
and

Whereas, after he 
graduated from high school, he attended Presbyterian Junior College in Maxton, 
North Carolina, to play baseball. His baseball career ended, however, after 
just one year because he realized that he needed to return home to help manage 
the family farm to assist his mother and sisters, whom he loved dearly; and

Whereas, after dating 
his high school sweetheart for several years, Mr. Brewer married Irene Richburg 
in January 1963, and together they reared four fine children: Penny, Mickey, 
Kelley, and Jackie. They brought their children up in the Bloomville community, 
where Bill started a wooden pallet company, Superior Manufacturing, which is 
still in operation today; and

Whereas, his love for 
sports has always been a central part of his life. He coached baseball at 
Christian Academy, Laurence Manning Academy, and Manning-Santee American 
Legion. Known for his energetic nature, he never liked to sit still, and if 
there was a ballgame within driving distance, he made a point of going; and

Whereas, Mr. Brewer has 
consistently supported local athletes, regardless of the school they attended. 
While coaching American Legion baseball, his players knew they could rely on 
Coach Brewer for transportation to practices and games if they needed it; and

Whereas, Mr. and Mrs. 
Brewer welcomed their first grandchild in 1994 and their last in 2006, eight 
adoring grandchildren altogether: Mary Michael, Cagney, Bateman, Brewer, Ann 
Bethea, Rollin, Jackson, and Emma; and

 Whereas, in April 2013, Mr. Brewer suddenly lost 
his beloved wife, Irene, who had always been an integral part of making sure 
that legion baseball in Clarendon County was a success. After her passing, he 
has continued to be involved in legion baseball at the local and state levels; 
and

Whereas, November 2023, 
Bill Brewer was honored to be inducted into the inaugural class of the South 
Carolina American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame. As meaningful as this honor was 
for him, what has always made him happy are family and friends, sports and the 
players he coached, and doing things for others, no matter what that may be; 
and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is deeply appreciative of citizens like Bill 
Brewer, who seek to influence the youth of our State and who help them to grow 
into responsible, productive citizens. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 
and honor William Jackson "Bill" Brewer, South Carolina American Legion 
Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, and declare May 22, 2025, as "Bill Brewer Day" 
in the State of South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to William Jackson "Bill" Brewer.
