Douglas Noel Brammer, 80, of Newport News, VA, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, September 8, 2021 with family by his side. Born April 3, 1941 in Roanoke, VA, he would go on to marry his high school sweetheart, Sylvia, in 1962.

Doug had a long career in sales and management, and loved his work. He enjoyed golf, cruise trips, and traveling whenever possible. He was upbeat, easy going, and always had a good one-liner to make people smile. He was beloved by friends and family alike, and is remembered as a man of integrity with a kind heart and positive attitude. Doug was devoted to his faith and family. He set an example as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and a faithful Catholic.
