Brent E. Blumer

Brent E. Blumer, 63, Green Bay, passed away at home Wednesday, March 20, 2013 after a long illness. He was born February 9, 1950 in Coleman to the late Clarence and Marjorie (Harley) Blumer. Brent graduated from Lena High School with the class of 1968. He then went on to study at Green Bay Vocational College, where he graduated with an associate's degree in computer science. Brent started his career at Data Inc. and Good Humor; he then retired from Stratagem due to illness. In 1986 he married Marianne Watson (Beaumier). They divorced 15 years later, but reconciled in May of 2011 when she became his best-friend, caregiver, and confidante.

Brent was a Corvette enthusiast; he would rebuild and restore corvettes from the frame up. His pride and joy were his 1966 Coupe and his 1967 Big Block Convertible. Brent was a long time member of Corvettes of the Bay and would attend Bloomington Gold (the world's largest corvette show.)
