Dr. Patrick Andrew Bremer - SAVANNAH - Dr. Patrick Andrew Bremer, 56 passed away Sunday March 4, 2012 at his residence in Bluffton, SC. He was a native of Savannah and a 1973 honors graduate of Benedictine High School. Patrick went on to graduate with honors from the University of Georgia with a BS in Zoology, an MBA, and was president of his class and a 1982 honor graduate of the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine. From the time he was 10 years old, all Patrick wanted to do was care for animals. Patrick was an excellent veterinarian, receiving the Veterinarian of the Year award in Savannah, GA in 1999. Patrick was thoroughly professional while at the same time genuinely caring and compassionate; truly loved by his animal and human clients alike. Patrick was recently honored by receiving a position on the Board of Stewards for the UGA School of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Association. Throughout his career Patrick was strongly active in stray adoptions and spay and neuter programs in the Coastal Empire, especially on Tybee Island. Patrick was a member of the Hibernian Society and a communicant of the Catholic faith. Patrick was the second oldest in a family of five, always up to some mischief among his siblings. His dry wit and humor were both entertaining and enlightening. Patrick loved music and was a member of St. James Drum and Bugle Corp and received a letter for four years in Benedictine's Military Band. Patrick also loved the water and was an excellent slalom skier (better than Billy). Those who knew Patrick will remember his favorite jestful greeting ... Long time no see ... the longer the better!!! Patrick was preceded in death by his father William J. Bremer, Jr. He is survived by his daughter, Emily Catherine Bremer of Athens, GA, his mother, Carolyn E. Bremer of Bluffton, SC, one sister, Julia Catherine Bremer of Bluffton, SC, three brothers, William J. Bremer III of Savannah, John E. Bremer of Tybee Island, and Joseph M. Bremer of Bluffton, SC.
